News broke over the weekend via TMZ that the relationship between Nikki Bella and John Cena was officially over. The couple split several months ago but there were plenty of rumors that the break-up was just to promote the next season of Total Bellas. It now doesn’t look like that is the case.

Nikki released a statement to People about the end of her and Cena’s relationship.
Here is what she had to say:
“After I called off the engagement, we tried to work on our relationship to get back to where it was, and in order to move forward with our wedding. After much time and soul-searching alone and together, we have decided to officially part ways. I had a beautiful and loving 6-year relationship with a wonderful man. I have the utmost respect for John, but I know this is what’s best for me.”
Last month, Nikki also had this to say in an interview:
“Calling the wedding off three weeks before to the man of your dreams. We have called it off twice,” Nikki said. “The first time, he didn’t want kids and I thought I could sacrifice that and it was our engagement party, and I was just kind of out of it. Everyone noticed it, even the film crew noticed it, like ‘There’s something off with her.’ … He called it off the first time because he still didn’t want kids and he’s like ‘You should go and find someone to have kids with.’ We’re very mature, we’re best friends. So, we had called it off, he came back to me a few weeks later and he was like ‘You know what, I don’t want to lose you, I want kids.’
“I just jumped back into it, not even thinking. And then as we got closer to the wedding I realized there were so many more issues that we needed to figure out. It was just getting to the point where I was breaking. I was like, ‘I shouldn’t feel like this going into my marriage, when I say those vows I want to mean them.’ … It was like three weeks out, we had all these people, wedding dress, maid of honor, dresses. Not to mention I had an E! wedding special, an hour special, like crew and everything. That’s why when people say ‘It’s fake.’ Don’t you think about the other side of it, like ratings and the money that’s [gone into it?]”
