John Cena on Fatherhood: Why He Chose Not to Have Kids

John Cena, the WWE superstar turned Hollywood actor, has always been known for his larger-than-life persona, both inside the ring and on the big screen. However, behind the tough exterior, Cena has candidly shared his thoughts on a topic that many fans are curious about—fatherhood.

In a recent interview on “Club Shay Shay,” hosted by Shannon Sharpe, Cena opened up about his decision not to have children. “I don’t want them. I’m 47. I don’t have them. I have a certain curiosity about life. And I also know the investment that it takes,” Cena explained. He went on to express his concern about the time and commitment that being a parent requires, admitting, “My biggest fear… I don’t think, personally, I’m ready nor will I ever be, to invest the time.”

Cena’s perspective on fatherhood is refreshingly honest, as he acknowledges the deep responsibility that comes with raising children. His reflections suggest a thoughtful consideration of his current life stage and priorities.

The conversation also took a nostalgic turn when Cena delved into his early years and his connection to rap music, which he described as an act of rebellion. Growing up as one of five boys, Cena revealed that he often felt overlooked in his household, leading him to seek solace in music. “I had a lot of angst with how the household was being run. I was a rebel. That music found me at the right time,” Cena shared.

This glimpse into Cena’s past sheds light on the influences that shaped his identity, both as a wrestler and as an entertainer. His candid remarks on fatherhood and his youth offer a more nuanced understanding of the man behind the public persona.
