At a private viewing of his latest movie, “Heads of State,” in London on Tuesday, wrestling star John Cena was spotted locking lips with his stunning spouse, Shay Shariatzadeh.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I find myself beaming with joy when observing the radiant American actor, now 48 years old, exuding an undeniable affection alongside his cherished partner, Shay, who turns 36 this year. Our eyes couldn’t help but lock onto their heartwarming chemistry during their enchanting appearance at the screening event gracing the BFI Southbank.

In an elegant and stylish manner, the skilled wrestler donned a sharp black-and-white pinstripe suit, paired with a crisp white dress shirt and a coordinating necktie.

In tandem with her spouse, engineer Shay (who tied the knot with John in 2020), showcased a breathtaking appearance in a mini dress adorned with a prominent white bow on its back.

She showed off her long legs by wearing high heels (stilettos) and complemented the outfit with elegant pearl drop earrings.

A rather private pair (in terms of their relationship) was accompanied by actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, aged 42, who caused quite the stir in a deep-necked black gown.

The actress was stunning in the dress with a halter neckline, featuring a beautiful floral pattern in beige and highlighting her fabulous silhouette.

She stood tall, donning a pair of sleek black strapped sandals, and beamed radiantly as she struck poses for the camera, showcasing her captivating grin.

Later, Priyanka switched to a stylish black-and-red tasseled dress, accentuating her waistline with a sleek black belt.

As I prepared for our photo shoot, I carefully arranged my dark tresses into an elegant updo, while my heart brimmed with joy, standing proudly beside my husband, Nick Jonas.

The Jonas singer cut a dapper figure in a navy suit as he lovingly gazed into his wife’s eyes. 

In this action-comedy on Amazon Prime Video, titled “Heads of State,” we follow the character John as he transitions from a renowned action movie star to assuming the role of the President of the United States.

Idris Elba portrays a character who was once a commando and eventually becomes the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Despite the historical close ties between our countries, there’s a persistent competition between these two global leaders.

In the narrative, our disparities soon fade into insignificance once we find ourselves entangled in a worldwide conspiracy. Interestingly enough, I, serving as a dedicated agent from MI6, am tasked with ensuring that these two influential figures stay clear of danger.

Seven years after they ended their engagement in 2018, Nikki Garcia, John’s former fiancée, remembered their initial reunion.

On a recent episode of the Honestly Cavallari podcast, the WWE wrestler shared insights about her contentious divorce settlement with Artem Chigvintsev, following her earlier decision to speak out publicly on the matter for the first time.

The recording was done in March, specifically during the time when Nikki and her identical sibling Brie were guests on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast.

In early February, around seven or eight years since their previous encounter, the ex-couple ran into each other at the 2025 Royal Rumble event.

She stated that it happened extremely fast, explaining that this was due to respect for the professional wrestler who is now married to Shay.

‘Nikki mentioned that she was part of a group conversing with others. Then, he approached each person to greet them with a handshake, including her.’

Kristin, the host, expressed her surprise when she thought Nikki would hug instead of just shaking hands. However, Nikki clarified that it was indeed a simple handshake.

The star recollected, “I seemed to have said, ‘Nice to meet you again. I believe we’ve met before. Honestly, it’s hard to tell, it’s been quite some time.’

However, as he departed, a chorus of gasps arose from the young ladies, to which I responded with a quieting gesture and a reminder about his marital status, urging them to maintain respect. That was the end of it.

During our short encounter, Nikki mentioned how pleasant it was and went on to say, “It was wonderful! You see, we managed to break the ice, and coincidentally, we were both here at the same moment. It’s a delightful sensation.

Kristin then teased: ‘Everyone wants you guys to be together.’ 

But the mom-of-one quickly changed the subject by responding with, ‘Oh, gosh. Oh, next question!’ 

In the year 2012, Nikki and John started their romantic relationship. However, it was later disclosed that prior to living together, he had asked her to sign a supposed 75-page agreement.

Certain unusual requests were made, such as her staying as a house-guest at his place, and maintaining identical morning and evening routines together.

In the fifth year of their partnership, John proposed to Nikki at WrestleMania 33, which took place in 2017. He went down on one knee to ask the important question.

In that moment, he addressed the gathering and proposed by saying: “For such a long time, I’ve wanted to ask you this question. Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, would you consent to become my wife?

Her affirmative response to the proposal caused the crowd in the venue to erupt with joyful cheers.

The next year saw the end of their engagement as they broke up. Regrettably, their planned wedding in May 2018 was subsequently called off.

Since then, John has wed Shay, and they prefer to maintain their relationship as a private affair. Last year, the celebrity shared insights about this privacy during an appearance on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast.

In his words, he pledged, “I vowed one thing at our wedding altar: ‘I’ll always strive to keep you away from unnecessary danger.’

Essentially, it’s primarily about ensuring genuine security. It doesn’t imply that everyone harbors malicious intent or that we’ll encounter harmful individuals, but unpredictability is a factor—you can’t always foresee when someone might feel endangered.

If my traveling companion and life partner expresses feelings of unease or discomfort in the various destinations we visit, it introduces a fresh challenge for me on a personal level.

‘It’s just an exercise in the strength of boundaries and the value of boundaries.’

It was during a dinner date in Vancouver in March 2019, while John was filming “Playing With Fire,” that their romantic connection was first reported.
