Cena's career accomplishments are impressive, spanning both his wrestling career and his ventures outside the ring.
The 16-time WWE champion holds a Guinness World Record as the most requested celebrity by children through the Make-a-Wish Foundation, an organization that makes dreams come true for kids with serious illnesses.
As he nears 50, Cena remains firm in his choice to forgo having children.
He discussed his stance on parenthood during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in January 2022.
"I really enjoy my life. I have been riding a lightning bolt for quite some time now," he said. "I have been given opportunities to do some things that man, I didn’t even dream of, and I had some pretty lofty dreams."
For Cena, time is the crucial factor. He believes he simply doesn't have enough of it to bring a new life into his already busy schedule.
"It's hard work. It's hard work to balance the time. I need to run myself correctly," he added.
"It's hard work to be the best partner and husband I can be to my loving wife. It's hard to keep connections with those in my life who I love, and it's also hard to put in an honest day's work.
According to People, the demanding pace of his career has greatly influenced Cena's choice to remain child-free.
He worries about the potential of being an absent parent, a scenario he finds unacceptable for a child's upbringing.
Cena's perspective reflects a deep awareness of the serious commitments that come with raising a child.
