On New Year’s Day, star wrestler and Hollywood actor John Cena sent fans into a frenzy with a touching post via Twitter about the upcoming opportunities in his life. While the news had many celebrating his optimism and drive, it also stirred curiosity about his personal life specifically, questions about his ex-wife, Elizabeth Huberdeau, and where she stands amidst all the buzz.
Elizabeth Huberdeau, or “Liz,” was John Cena’s girlfriend from high school; in 2009, he married her. The very short-lived marriage ended in divorce in 2012. This was quite a shock to the world because they were considered one of the happiest couples in the first years of their marriage. At the time, the divorce, which filed due to irreconcilable differences, was very publicized through different media outlets.
The couple’s breakup came shortly thereafter. Since the split, Cena and Huberdeau have both moved on: Cena into his thriving Hollywood career and a second marriage to Shay Shariatzadeh, and Huberdeau largely staying out of the limelight, living her life in private. The real estate professional is apparently happy to remain outside the extremely bright light that surrounds a super-star such as Cena.
Although Elizabeth Huberdeau may no longer be part of Cena’s story, fans remain curious about her life post-divorce. If you’re looking to dig deeper into her journey and connection to Cena, our detailed Elizabeth Huberdeau wiki has all the answers!
His Ex-Wife Was a High School Sweetheart
Elizabeth Huberdeau, age 38, was never a celebrity and not associated with the WWE. She was John Cena’s first wife and high school sweetheart. The wrestler never talked much about his relationship with her, so it is still unclear which high school they matched up at.
According to reports, Cena went to two high schools: Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, MA. News of their marriage came out while Cena was promoting his movie, 12 Rounds in 2009.
They Divorced Three Years Later
In May 2012, Cena filed for divorce and it was finalized in July of the same year. According to reports, Huberdeau was shocked when he filed to end their marriage.
he divorce was worked into Cena’s WWE storyline that same year, while he was also feuding with The Rock, who he had lost to at WrestleMania.
Cena Blamed It on Home Remodeling
According to reports, Cena blamed his divorce on a home remodeling that cause strife between him and his wife. Huberdeau, however, accused him of being unfaithful and challenged their prenuptial agreement.
A tabloid site claimed it had tips that Cena was messing around during their marriage, however, no concrete proof was found. Since the couple dealt with the settlement confidentially, no details were available as to what the real reasons were.
He’s Planning to Remarry
The suspicions that he was cheating flared up four months later, when he began dating fellow WWE superstar Nikki Bella, his now fiancée. The WWE’s WrestleMania champion got down on one knee in the middle of the ring and proposed to Bella, asking for her hand in marriage.
“I proposed in the middle of the WWE ring, the place to establish [that you’re] the tough guy. I could have [proposed] a bunch of different ways, but [the WWE audience is] my family,” he said. “And I wanted to do something that I’d remember for the rest of my life, in front of my family.”
The decision seemed questionable to some of their followers, as both had differing views on marriage and children. Bella said at the time, “Nothing’s worse than hearing the man you love, be like, ‘I will never get married again! I will never have kids.’
That stuff is tough, and that sucks.” The quote came from a conversation she had with her sister, Brie Bella, on her reality show, Total Divas. “Do I leave the man I love, or do I stay with him and just sacrifice kids and marriage? To walk away from this guy because of marriage and kids doesn’t seem right.”
In 2014, she revealed she would continue to wait for Cena to come around. “I do want to get married and I want to have kids–and I want all that with John,” she said. “I hope one day he wants those things!” In 2017, the couple began making wedding plans, and are taking their time planning it perfectly!
