John Cena has reportedly tied the knot with girlfriend Shay Shariatzadeh.
The 43-year-old is a married man, after getting hitched to his girlfriend of a year and a half in an attorney’s office in Tampa, Florida on Monday.
According to People, the couple obtained a marriage license on Friday.
John met tech company project manager Shay while filming his movie Playing With Fire, and told Entertainment Tonight last year: ‘What’s truly special about this one is that, no matter what projects I’m involved in the future, this one will always have a special meaning because I got to film a special project and meet someone special.’
And the former wrestler referred to Shay as ‘family’ as they packed on the PDA at the premiere of Dolittle earlier this year.
The newlyweds were first linked in March 2019, when John and Shay – was born in Iran but is a Canadian citizen – were pictured holding hands and kissing.
This romance was John’s first public relationship since he split from long-time partner Nikki Bella in 2018.
The wrestlers got engaged in the ring at Wrestlemania 33 in April 2017, and were set to get married in May 2018.
However, weeks before they were due to get married, the pair announced they had broken off their engagement and ended their relationship of six years.
The pair’s relationship was played out on Nikki and her twin Brie’s show Total Bellas, and John repeatedly signalled that he didn’t want to get married, telling his partner that he ‘can’t give her’ life as a wife and mother.
Much of this was down to John losing faith in marriage after divorcing from his first wife Elizabeth Huberdeau in 2012, after three years of marriage.
Nikki, 35, has since gone on to have a baby with former Strictly Come Dancing professional Artem Chigvintsev.
Blockers star John has yet to comment on his marriage, but seeing as he never captions his Instagram posts – even when they’re about his beloved BTS – we reckon we’ll be waiting a while for some social media confirmation.
Metro.co.uk has contacted Cena’s rep for comment.
