John Cena<\/strong><\/a> has been vocal about his decision not to have kids<\/a> over the years, but that doesn\u2019t mean he doesn\u2019t have a forever woman. The WWE fighter-turned-actor is married to wife Shay Shariatzadeh<\/strong><\/a>, and the pair like to keep their relationship private and sacred.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have core values which we both believe in, and one of those is keeping our information to us and those extremely close to our inner circle,\u201d the Jackpot!<\/em> actor said during a May 2023 appearance on Hoda and Jenna<\/em>. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier, but I think a way for us to keep our intimacy is by keeping it intimate.\u201d<\/p>\n Not only did she earn a bachelor\u2019s degree from the University of British Columbia in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, but she also secured a job in Vancouver. Shay is a product manager at Avigilon, a Motorola Solutions Company.<\/p>\n \u201cI interviewed multiple Product Managers to figure out how they got into their role, and I followed their path,\u201d she revealed in her bio featured on their website.<\/p>\n Shay worked in the Vancouver area for over 10 years and has tried her hand at different jobs before diving into the engineering world. She was previously employed as a sales associate for Guess and La Vie En Rose, according to her LinkedIn page.<\/p>\n Shay doesn\u2019t miss a moment to share her favorite moments with her family.<\/p>\n \u201cThe strongest and most hard-working woman I know is my mother,\u201d Shay said about the person who inspired her most in a past interview. \u201cThe biggest lesson she taught me was to be independent and fight for the things I want in life. She is a surgeon who worked day and night so we could have a good life. While she was at the peak of her career, she gave it all up to move her family to Canada to give us a better future. She is the reason I fight to be the best version of myself, to be kind and to never give up.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2015, Shay credited her engineering career to her brother during an interview with Avigilon. \u201cI have always enjoyed math and physics,\u201d she told the outlet at the time. \u201cMy brother studied engineering in school, and I remember one day he came home with a project and it was an autonomous car \u2014 and that was it! I decided to study Engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n The Blockers<\/em> actor started dating the product manager about eight months after his highly publicized split<\/a> from longtime girlfriend-turned-fianc\u00e9e Nikki Garcia\u00a0<\/strong>(formerly known as Nikki Bella) in April 2018. The source noted at the time that John\u2019s relationship with Shay was \u201cmuch easier\u201d than it was with his ex.<\/p>\n \u201cIn John\u2019s eyes, Shay is the whole package,\u201d the source gushed about their strong bond. \u201cShe\u2019s beautiful, intelligent, kind, independent and family-orientated and there\u2019s rarely any drama between them.\u201d<\/p>\n The Canadian babe brings out the Bumblebee\u00a0actor\u2019s \u201csofter side,\u201d an insider exclusively gushed to Life & Style\u00a0<\/em>in May 2020. \u201cShay isn\u2019t after his money \u2026 She\u2019s not that kind of girl and loves him for who he is.\u201d The feeling is mutual because John \u201cspoils her with romantic gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n Their romance started when John approached her in a Vancouver restaurant while the actor was in town for two months filming Playing With Fire<\/em>. \u201cThere was one woman I was looking at, and I couldn\u2019t take my eyes off her \u2026 That\u2019s when it started,\u201d the Massachusetts native told Entertainment Tonight<\/em> about when he first saw his now-wife in 2019. A few months later, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of the same film that brought them together.<\/p>\n By January 2020, the pair seemed like a solid couple at the Dolittle<\/em> premiere. \u201cJohn and Shay arrived hand in hand to [the] carpet and walked into [the] carpet holding hands,\u201d a separate insider told Life & Style <\/em>at the time. \u201cHe whispered a few things in her ear to reassure her on [the] carpet, a few gentle kisses on [the] lips. Very sweet. She seemed totally comfortable and happy to be by his side.\u201d<\/p>\n Engagement rumors began swirling about John and Shay when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring on ~that~ finger in February 2020. The wrestler fueled speculation on February 13 by sharing a photo of a man holding up a purple candy heart that read, \u201cSay Yes,\u201d via Instagram. Text over the image read, \u201cStone Cold Sweethearts,\u201d though the Instagram photo itself didn\u2019t have a caption or further explanation.<\/p>\n John and Shay quietly tied the knot<\/a> on October 12, 2020, at a courthouse in Tampa, Florida. They celebrated their nuptials again<\/a> in July 2022 in Vancouver, Canada.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Is Shay\u2019s Job?<\/h2>\n
