John Cena and Nikki Bella
Just days before their wedding, WWE stars John Cena and Nikki Bella called it quits.
According to a statement published by PEOPLE.com on Monday, Bella confirmed that the pair has parted ways.
“After I called off the engagement, we tried to work on our relationship to get back to where it was, and in order to move forward with our wedding. After much time and soul-searching alone and together, we have decided to officially part ways,” Bella said.
“I had a beautiful and loving six-year relationship with a wonderful man. I have the utmost respect for John, but I know this is what’s best for me,” she stated.
A source confirms to PEOPLE that Bella has been house-hunting recently.
The news comes just one day after Bella was seen calling off their engagement for a second time during the season finale of Total Bellas.
While mulling over her decision to cancel their nuptials for a second time — just weeks before their wedding date — the 34-year-old WWE star spoke about how she wished things “could be different.”
“It just sucks,” she said during the episode. “I wish it could be different and I think that’s why I’ve had almost six years of working on us and fighting and just taking in a lot. I just feel like I’ve hit the point that I’m just so exhausted and done.”
Earlier this season, the couple broke up briefly, reconciling only after Cena, 41, agreed to reverse his vasectomy and give her a child. But for Bella, it wasn’t enough.
“It’s just hard when you love someone so much and care for them so much, but you just can’t do it anymore,” she tearfully added. “It’s not his fault, it’s not my fault. We’ve had this amazing love story and it’s just come to an end.”
