John Cena Reveals the Reason He's Changed His Mind About Having Kids

John Cena seems to be doing a lot better following his split from Nikki Bella. On Sunday, the 41-year-old WWE superstar appeared to be in a good mood when he stepped out for dinner at Mastro's steakhouse in LA. During his outing, TMZ caught up with John and asked him about his recent comments about wanting a family with Nikki. "I would love to be a dad," John told TMZ. "I realize very much that I have been steadfast in saying that I don't want children, but I'm a little bit older now and wiser . . . I dedicated my life to my work and now I'm realizing that there is life and life exists and it's beautiful and I think part of that is being a parent."

John and Nikki called it quits in April, just one month before their wedding. Nikki has always been vocal about wanting to get married and have kids. John, on the other hand, initially did not want to get married again (he was previously married to a woman named Elizabeth Huberdeau) and told Nikki that children were not in his future, however, he has since had a change of heart. As for the status of their relationship, John referred to Nikki as his "best friend" but didn't confirm whether or not they've actually reconciled.
