John Cena reveals how he met his wife Shay Shariatzadeh
John Cena recently revealed a touching tale about a pleasant surprise i his n life, even though he is usually tight-lipped about his private life. It all started on a Super Bowl Sunday in 2019 when Cena went to a Canadian club in Vancouver and met Shay Shariatzadeh, the woman who eventually became his wife. Cena had planned to watch the game by himself, but Shariatzadeh’s appearance drew him in and he was secretly busy in stalking her.
Recalling the moment, the 46-year-old star said, “So we watched the game, and then the table sitting right across from us — this group of five people walked in. Man, I stopped watching the game. I didn’t even know it was over.” It turns out that Destiny had different ideas for Cena, even though he wasn’t looking for love at the moment.
Despite Cena’s initial fear about meeting Shariatzadeh, he gathered the courage to ask for her number when her friend approached him for a photo. The Hollywood star commented on the situation, saying, “Finally, I got the guts to be like, ‘Only if I can get that girl’s number.’”
This move led to their first fan picture, which they now cherish and proudly display in their house. Their love journey began with this meeting, serving as a reminder that the most magical moments may happen when we least anticipate them.
