“HEARTBROKEN” at “devastated” si Nikki Bella dahil sa paghihiwalay nila ni John Cena, ilang linggo bago ang araw ng kanilang kasal.

Kahit na inamin ni Cena, 40, noon na ayaw niya nang makasal uli—ikinasal siya kay Elizabeth Huberdeau mula 2009 hanggang 2012 — lumuhod pa rin siya at nag-propose kay Bella noong Abril 2017. Gayunman, inihayag ng isang source sa People na nagsimula nang manlamig si Cena kay Bella habang papalapit ang kanilang kasal.

“She never gave him an ultimatum. He talked a really good game about having changed, about having his priorities straight, about knowing what’s important, and that it was her. But as the day got closer, it was like he just went back to who he’s always been — which is someone who puts himself first, always,” paliwanag ng insider. “He’s an incredibly dedicated, driven, ambitious guy. And for the longest time he said he didn’t think he had room in his life for a spouse or kids. It seems like in the end that was still the truth.”

Dagdag pa ng source, “But in that case, he never should’ve proposed, let alone in front of millions of people. Now she’s heartbroken.”

Ayon pa rin sa source ng People, “devastated” si Bella at sinabing, “This was supposed to be the happiest time of her life. He ruined it and blew everything up.”

Nakatakdang ikasal ang kapwa professional wrestler sa Mayo 5 sa Mexico, at sabik si Bella na ipagdiwang ang dapat sana ay pinakamaligayang araw sa buhay niya, kasama ang kanyang pamilya at mga kaibigan.

“It wasn’t going to be some showy Hollywood, over-the-top glitzy thing,” sabi pa ng source sa People.

Dugtong ng insider, magiging “fine” si Bella, ngunit ipinakita na umano ni Cena ang kanyang tunay na pag-uugali.

“In wrestling there are two archetypes: faces and heels,” paliwanag ng source. “A face is a good guy, a hero, who you root for. A heel is a villain, who sometimes can seem like a good guy but then turns around and shows his true, evil colors. John Cena just revealed himself as the ultimate heel.”

Kinumpirma ng dating magkasintahan ang kanilang paghihiwalay sa isang pahayag na kanilang ibinahagi sa social media nitong Linggo, at ayon dito, “While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another. We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.”

Mukhang nagsalita na rin si Cena tungkol sa kanilang paghihiwalay sa kanyang tweet nitong Lunes, aniya, “Hardship, loss, and humility are extremely difficult waters to navigate, but perseverance thru them builds a strength to withstand anything life throws your way.”
