Legendary Wrestler, John Cena Reveals His Greatest Fear

American actor and wrestler, John Cena has opened up on his biggest fear in life.
According to him, his biggest fear is that he would never be ready to be a “great parent.”
The 47-year-old, who has been married twice without kids, explained that he would never be ready to invest the time needed to be a great parent.
“My biggest fear is I don’t think I’m personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time it takes to be a great parent,” Cena said in a recent interview with Club Shay Shay.
 
“Because I still have a lot to do and I still want to do a lot. I have a wonderful partner, we’ve had open conversations about this. We share the same values.
 
“It’s a tough subject to talk about because it immediately puts you in a category. People tend to judge. Human nature, we are all judgmental. But I operate under the construct that everyone is okay living their lives.
 
“I’m very happy with where I stand. I’ve a lot of joy and fulfilment in my life.”
John Cena got married to Elizabeth Huberdeau on July 11, 2009. On May 1, 2012, Cena filed for divorce, which was finalized on July 18.
On October 12, 2020, Cena married girlfriend, Shay Shariatzadeh, whom he had been dating since early 2019, in a private ceremony in Tampa, Florida.
Both marriages did not produce kids.

Transfer: Osimhen’s Move In Doubt With Chelsea Unwilling To Pay New Players Over £70,000

Chelsea are not prepared to offer contracts exceeding £70,000 per week to new players.

According to Sky Sports transfer chief, Kaveh Solhekol, the club is not interested in signing players who demand £200,000-a-week or £300,000-a-week contracts.

With Enzo Maresca looking to add a striker to his squad, Chelsea have been linked with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Ivan Toney of Brentford.

But it now appears the deal for Toney would be easier to do, as Osimhen is reluctant to take a pay cut.

According to Solhekol, “the average wage of their new signing is between £60,000-a-week and £70,000-a-week.

“That is the base wage before you add in bonuses.

“I think there is a feeling that Ivan Toney is willing to fit into that wage structure. Also, he’s coming from a club like Brentford who are not famed for paying massive wages.”
