Nikki Garcia Details Reunion With John Cena

Nikki Garcia (formerly Nikki Bella) recounted her first meeting with ex-fiancé John Cena since their 2018 split, describing their brief and respectful reunion at the 2025 Royal Rumble as a handshake and polite exchange in a group setting. Garcia explained the interaction was short to respect Cena's marriage to Shay Shariatzadeh and that it helped ease any lingering awkwardness after years apart. She dismissed speculation about rekindling their romance and clarified that their breakup stemmed from differing views on starting a family. During a podcast appearance with Kristin Cavallari, Garcia laughed off rumors about intimacy issues and discussed her current outlook. She also shared that she later became a mother and experienced her own divorce. The encounter with Cena marked a positive step in moving forward from their past relationship.
