In an interview with Super Bowl champion Shannon Sharpe on his podcast Club Shay Shay, Cena addressed the issue.
“I don’t think I’m personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it needs to make a great parent. I want to live life,” he explained. “I still have a lot to do.”
Cena went on to open up about how he approached his now wife with the discussion of not having kids in their initial dating stages.
I opened with a few uncomfortable conversations,” he told Sharpe. “Those were first or second date questions with my now-wife. It’s great because we both got to lean into these uncomfortable moments, address this stuff and build a foundation. Nothing is too uncomfortable to be unapproachable.
The WWE superstar also explained that he didn’t decide not to have kids overnight, but had carefully thought this through before fixating on a decision.
