The 41-year-old was due to tie the knot on May 5 after proposing at last year’s WrestleMania to Nikki Bella but the relationship has been broken and the two parties have gone their separate ways for good.

The 16-time world champion and his ex-fiancee shocked the world when they announced in April their engagement was off.

They were due to tie the knot in Mexico on May 5 with rumours suggesting Cena, 41, not wanting to become a father being the reason behind the breakup.

But the internet has been running wild with rumours over recent days that the legend got over his heartache almost immediately by dating 30-year-old Carmella, real name Leah Van Dale.

However, respected wrestling journalist Mike Johnson of PWInsider has blasted claims of a romance between the Leader of the Cenation (John Cena) and The Princess of Staten Island (Carmella) as nonsense.

Johnson said: “Nothing, there’s been nothing to the Carmella/John Cena dating thing. I don’t know where it started.

But some other credible sources have faulted Johnson’s assertion that there is more between Carmella and Cena and that romance was brewing already.

Carmella used to date fellow SmackDown grappler Big Cass but the pair split late last year.
