John Cena, the well-known actor and professional wrestler, recently opened up about his biggest fear—becoming a parent. Cena confessed that he worries he may never feel truly ready to be a “great parent.”

“My biggest fear is I don’t think I’m personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it takes to be a great parent,” Cena said in a recent interview with Club Shay Shay.

“Because I still have a lot to do and I still want to do a lot. I have a wonderful partner, we’ve had open conversations about this. We share the same values.

“It’s a tough subject to talk about because it immediately puts you in a category. People tend to judge. Human nature, we are all judgmental. But I operate under the construct that everyone is okay living their lives.

“I’m very happy with where I stand. I’ve a lot of joy and fulfilment in my life.”

Cena’s personal life has included two marriages. He first married Elizabeth Huberdeau on July 11, 2009. However, the marriage ended in divorce, which he filed for on May 1, 2012, and was finalized just a few months later on July 18.

After his first marriage, Cena found love again with Shay Shariatzadeh. The couple began dating in early 2019 and tied the knot on October 12, 2020, in a private ceremony in Tampa, Florida.

Despite his two marriages, John Cena has not had any children. He has often spoken about his concerns regarding parenthood, expressing doubts about whether he could be the kind of parent he would want to be. Cena’s honesty about his fear of becoming a parent shows a different side of the usually strong and confident WWE star, revealing his vulnerability and the pressures he feels about family life.

For Cena, the fear of parenthood isn’t just about having children—it’s about wanting to be a good parent and feeling unsure if he could meet his own high standards. This fear continues to shape his decisions about starting a family.
