Good for him to know his priorities
*Johanna* Cena would get so much shit, for these thoughtful, mature responses.
I wish people would stop asking this. He’s made this very clear for years.
It’s perfectly fine to admit that not everyone needs to have a child. And honestly It should be normalized to admit you’re not ready to have kids nor are interested in having kids. It is a lot of work.
Having kids should not be a societal expectation. Not everyone wants children, and I’ve met a lot of people who would not be good parents.
If only more people were as intentional and thoughtful about having children than he is
His wishes not to have kids needs to be respected, its one of the reasons him and Nicole did not work out.
Honestly, can appreciate that he knows himself well enough that he wouldn’t do right by a kid that he’s like nah, don’t want one. Too many people have a kid, think they’ll be a great parent and back out when they realize it’s too hard
In a world of male and (frankly some female) celebrities thoughtlessly producing kids, this is quite refreshing.
Why is this a constant topic with him? Seth Rogan has basically said same thing. People don’t question Seth as much they John.
I remember when he was dating Nikki Bella (I was in my WWE era a couple years ago), I read comments about how she was wasting her time on him because she really wanted kids and a family. Like, come on, they’d been dating for a long time, and I think they’d discussed these things. They realized that they had different values and made the decision to break up. That’s it.
I respect that he knows what he wants (and doesn’t want) and is acting responsibly and not caving to societal pressure.
We all know someone who never should have been a parent, and yet we live in a society that still, for some reason, pressures people into having kids and often shames them if they don’t. We need to normalize accepting that people know themselves best, and what they’re capable of, and that, if you choose to have children, they need to be your priority instead of just an after thought. It seems like a lot of people have kids to use as an accessory and give little thought to the needs of the child and the time an energy required to raise them.
It’s not that deep. He answered like a lot of us do.
Honestly I really respect this response. Not everyone wants kids, not everyone should have kids. He’s aware that he would not be the nurturing parent a child needs and has decided not to put a child in that position.
It is pretty freaking weird he keeps getting asked this though. He’s been clear for years now about how he does not want to have kids.
And part of me can’t help but think the media would have less than savory responses if a female celebrity said the same exact thing he did.
honestly i thought he had kids and this is how i find out i must’ve been thinking about someone else
Stop asking him (and everyone else) about having kids. Ask him about the make-a-wish foundation instead if you must talk about children.
It is not like he hates kids either. He has honored the most Make A Wish requests.
Parenthood is either a hell yes or a no.
I wish more people were as self aware and honest with themselves. We wouldn’t have as many CPS cases if people were. 🧐
John Cena is 48 years old and at this point… it’s pretty much too late anyway. I’m not saying 48 is too old to have a kid, but it’s right at the cusp of it. Bro would be damn near 70 by the time that kid would be going out into the world.
Now ask him why he stands by Vince McMahon. If you have to ask a question over and over again, ask that.
Same reason I don’t yet have a dog.
