John Cena is a married man! The former wrestler turned actor recently said ‘I do’ to project manager Shay Shariatzadeh in a secret ceremony.
The couple tied the knot on Tuesday, October 13 in Tampa, Florida, according to court documents.
Cena and Shariatzadeh have been linked since March 2019 when they were spotted on a date. It is unknown when the pair got engaged, but reports show they applied for a marriage licence in October.
Speaking about love, Cena said the key to a succesful relationship is in appreciating one another.
“If I have a connection with someone, I believe we’re defined by our actions, and how you treat them is a reflection on how you will treat them in the future,” he said. “I think when anyone has a connection with someone, and someone says like, ‘Hey, there’s something here, and by the way, I appreciate who you are, I appreciate who you want to be, I appreciate how you live your life.’
This is Cena’s second marriage and third engagement. He was previously married to Elizabeth Huberdeau from 2009 to 2012, and was engaged to fellow wrestler Nikki Bella from 2017 to 2018.

Wedding goers in Zambia were treated to an unexpected show when a woman stormed into a church with children in tow and interrupted the ceremony. She demanded the wedding be stopped because the groom was her husband.
The groom, Abraham Muyunda, is married to Caroline Mubita and they share three children. Muyunda had allegedly told his wife that he was going to town for work, but in reality, he was attending his own wedding at a Catholic church in Chainda, Lusaka.
Mubita had been told by neighbours that her husband was to marry another woman, causing her to rush to interrupt the ceremony.
In a video, Mubita storms into the church with a child strapped to her back, and can be heard saying, “The wedding cannot go on. This man right here is my husband. I don’t know what is happening here.”
The groom has since been handed over to the police and may face a criminal charge of bigamy, which is illegal in Zambia. The crime could carry a sentence of up to seven years, under Zambian law.

Music is one of the important parts of your wedding reception, because people come together on the dance floor. It’s the music that truly has the power to make or break the wedding reception so choosing what should be played at your wedding is a big decision to make.
At the end of the day, it comes down to personal preference and costs, so here’s a look at the pros and cons of a live wedding band or DJ.
A live band
In South Africa, a live band at a private function like a wedding costs roughly R 12 000 to R30 000. Prices vary based on your location and other factors, like the size of the band.
Pros
– Live song requests – people and the couple can ask the band to play their favourite songs
– It is more personal than a DJ
– It appeals to younger and older guests
– You and your guests will experience the pleasure of a live performance
Cons
– The big disadvantage of hiring a band is that they tend to be a tad expensive
– Bands also take up more space than a DJ
– The travelling cost and accommodation might be your responsibility if the band is not local
– A band might have one genre of music throughout
A DJ
Private function DJs can cost anywhere between R6500 to R12 000, while celebrity DJ prices range from R20 000 to R45 000. Plenty of couples hire a wedding DJ and prefer the diversity of music over a live band.
Pros
– A DJ can play different genres of music to appeal to a larger crowd
– They don’t require much space to set up
– They are usually local unless you want a celeb DJ
Cons
– Your wedding reception lives and dies depending on the DJ
– Since DJ equipment is usually a bit more “techy” it comes with a lot of wires – and sometimes it can look a little messy
– The equipment could crash and that would be the end of music and the vibe it brings
Some people prefer to have both, a DJ and a live band, to cater to everyone. The band is usually reserved for the romantic first dance. If this is the kind of vibe you want, then you should look into the cost of it all.
