John Cena finally married Shay Shariatzadeh but who is she?

WWE legend John Cena finally married his long-time girlfriend Shay Shariatzadeh in a private ceremony.

The WWE star hasn’t been seen on TV too many times and last fought The Fiend. He had been dating Shariatzadeh since 2019 and reports suggest a small ceremony took place for the couple in Tampa, Florida.

Previous relationships and marriage

Cena had been engaged to fellow WWE star Nikki Bella from 2017 after WrestleMania 33. However, that relationship ended in April 2018 despite their marriage being set for May in the same year.

Cena was also engaged to Elizabeth Huberdeau in 2009 and married her in July of the same year. But that relationship also ended after three years in 2012.

Who is Shay Shariatzadeh?

Shariatzadeh worked in a Vancouver company as a Product Manager and spoke about her mother being surgeon.

She also claimed that her mother’s hard work ensured they were able to move to Canada but she had to give up her career at the peak (h/t Avigilon)

In the same interview, she spoke about her brother also studying engineering in school and after one project, she was also hooked to get the degree. Reports also claimed that the pair had long dinner dates before they finally got engaged earlier in the year.

Cena, for his part, has become a huge movie star while being away from WWE. The multiple-time WWE champion has also learned Mandarin during WWE’s China expansion and also knows how to play the piano.

Cena also has multiple sponsorship deals with top companies, is a best-selling author and his stature is only growing further.

While he doesn’t wrestle as much as he used to, Cena remains one of the greatest WWE stars to have ever graced the company.

This is a new chapter in his incredible story, and we wish the newly married couple all the best.

After dating for one year, they reportedly tied the knot in October 2020 only months after John Cena split from Nikki Bella – she later married Dancing with the Stars professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev and welcomed Matteo into their lives together.

Shariatzadeh may not share much about her personal life on social media, but she can often be found alongside Cena at red carpet events – she even attended Fast X’s Rome premiere with him and looked stunning wearing a stunning crimson cape dress and metallic heels!
