The pair ended their engagement because they shared different views on having children.

"Overall, we did have such an incredible relationship, it was just two people that wanted two different lives," Bella, 36, said on Maria Menounos' show Better Together in May this year. "We were trying so hard to make it one."

Bella started dating Artem Chigvintsev in 2019. The couple got engaged during a trip to France in November 2019 and welcomed their first child, Matteo Artemovich on July 31.

Cena was also married to Elizabeth Huberdeau between 2009 to 2012.
