John is famously close to his mother Carol, who kept things low-key in a checked shirt and jeans while another member of the party had an SLR camera in hand.
Previously, John and Shay were first romantically linked when they were spotted on a dinner date in March 2019. The following year, the lovebirds tied the knot in a private ceremony in October 2020 at an attorney’s office in Tampa, Florida.
John is set to star in the highly-anticipated Barbie movie – something he revealed came about as a ‘happy accident’.
The WWE star — who will star as a hunky merman Ken explained that his casting in Barbie was the result of ‘an accidental run-in with Margot Robbie.’

He said that it occurred while he was working on the set of Fast X, which happened to be across the street from Barbie’s production.
Cena explained that Margot was the one who made ‘a lot of the decisions’ when it came to who would star in the Greta Gerwig-directed feature.
‘So, with a lot of opportunity, it was a chance for maybe to [say], “Hey, would you guys be willing to have me if I could do something?”‘ he said.
He told Barbie’s creative team that he ‘would do, pretty much, whatever you guys need because I really enjoy the movie.’

Cena’s passion for the project ultimately led to him being asked if he ‘wanted to be a merman’ — which he gladly accepted.
He then joked that his mermaid tale ‘is more than average size.’
Prior to the Barbie excitement, John was blazing the promo trail for Fast X – the latest instalment in The Fast And The Furious franchise – of late, so is no doubt glad of some downtime.
The actor — who started filming the soon-to-be released movie, Fast X, in August 2022 — made an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast last month and spoke with MTV News’ Josh Horowitz about the long-running franchise.
His latest project — the 10th installment film of the Fast & Furious franchise — premiered last month.
