CENA-BELLA TIMELINE UPDATE

By Mike Johnson on 2018-05-14 15:54:00

An update on the timeline of the John Cena-Nikki Bella situation.

We reported earlier today that based on the plotlines of the first several episodes of season three of Total Bellas, Cena and Bella broke up in January prior to the Raw 25th Anniversary broadcast, all of which will be chroniciled in episode three of the reality series.

We've since had several readers ask if that was the case, why did the couple wait until April to announce their engagement was off.

In doing some research, we have uncovered an interview that Bella filmed back in March where she noted the couple had split back in January and called off their wedding, but it was now back on for May after they reconciled:

At some point after the initial reconciliation, the couple later split, announcing it publicly last month.

Cena, while appearing on Today, stated that they are still in contact and that he wants to reconcile, marry and start a family but said Nikki is "happy right now."  He also shot down reports that he's been enjoying "the single life."

Obviously, all of this will be played up in the reality series when it debuts the new season on 5/20.

Thanks to Billy Krotchsen.
