John Cena recently opened up in a rare interview about his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh, and their decision to maintain their privacy. The couple first met when John was approached for a picture by one of Shay’s friends at a restaurant. They got married in 2020 and, apart from attending red carpet events together, they prefer to keep a relatively low profile.

During an episode of Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, John initially expressed his desire to keep his location in Los Angeles private, explaining that he has several undisclosed homes where he can maintain his privacy. When asked if this was to avoid encounters with adult or child fans, John responded by saying that he never blames anyone for wanting to say hello. However, he emphasized the importance of his wife’s safety and well-being, as he made a promise to her on their wedding day not to put her in any unnecessary danger.

John acknowledged that not everyone has bad intentions, but he believes in being cautious and recognizing the potential for threats. He mentioned that since his wife is his constant travel companion and life partner, it is crucial for him to ensure her comfort and safety in the various new places they visit together. He explained that if his wife were to feel unsafe or uncomfortable, it would present an additional challenge in his personal life. For John, maintaining boundaries and respecting them is an exercise in strength and appreciating their value.
