They announced their split last month.

John Cena has told how he still loves and wants to marry Nikki Bella, one month after they called off their wedding.

The couple of six years announced their split last month, two weeks before their wedding.

The actor visited the Today show on Monday, where he shared an update about his relationship with his former fiancée.

He explained:

“It’s up and it’s down. I’ve always been honest with you guys, I also don’t want to ruin the viewers’ morning by giving them a bowl of sadness soup.

“It’s been up and it’s been down. It’s been incredibly reflective, which is amazing, but it’s very difficult.

“I had my heart broken out of nowhere — well, for me it was out of nowhere.

“And anyone who has experienced that knows that it comes with a series of bad feelings.

“But I’ve looked at myself every day and I’ve tried to evaluate myself and the woman that I love.”

He went on to insist that he isn’t trying to start any new relationships, as he is still in love with Nikki.

He continued:

“But for anyone speculating on like what I’m doing with my life now. I still love Nicole, I still would love to marry Nicole, I still would love to have a family with Nicole.

“There was an unfortunate set of circumstances where our relationship ended.

“There’s been a lot of speculation recently about me being seen in public, and everyone’s been like, ‘Oh John Cena’s enjoying the single life.’

“No, I was supposed to be married and have a honeymoon over these two weeks. I am in my house alone surrounded by these emotionally strong memories.

“And everyday from 6 to 9 I get out of the house and talk to strangers as social interaction.

“I don’t want anybody else. I love Nicole and I’m really trying to support her in her trying to find whatever it is she wants that made this fall apart in the first place.”

The pair called time on their relationship of six years last month, just a few weeks away from their wedding on May 5.

On Monday evening, Bella told how she was “speechless” by Cena’s confession on the daytime talk show.

She told Entertainment Tonight:

“John is such an amazing man. He really is the love of my life.

“I truly hope one day that we can work it out and get back together. I think there is hope.

“I just want us both to live the rest of our lives happy. Hopefully that’s together, maybe it’s not. Right now I’m just focusing on me.

“I think I kind of lost me and now I want to find [myself].”
