John Cena came out to say that he’d love to be a dad, putting off rumors that his reluctance was likely a reason why he and Nicki Bella called off their engagement.

“I would love to be a dad,” he told TMZ. “I realize very much that I have been steadfast in saying that I don’t want children.” But, “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.”

“We talk to each other all the time,” he said to Nicki. “We are best friends.”
