Wrestler and WWE star Nikki Bella, also known as Nikki Garcia, has admitted that watching her ex-fiancé’s sex scene ruined her solo sex sessions.
Seeing her then-boyfriend, wrestler and actor John Cena, having sex with another woman, albeit acting, was enough to completely put Bella off pleasuring herself.
Despite their very public 2018 split after Cena announced he did not want children just weeks before their wedding, the pair have remained close friends.
Cena filmed a very intimate scene with co-star Amy Schumer while shooting the movie Trainwreck, released in 2015.
At the time, Schumer even claimed “he was literally inside me”, according to Sports Bible.
Speaking on the Club Shay Shay Podcast, Cena said: "So it's real embarrassing, and on top of that, to do a comedic sex scene when you're making fun of yourself."
To make the scene even worse for Bella, Schumer responded to his comments on her Instagram story, joking: "John, how dare you?
"That sex scene meant a lot to me, and I was, like, very into it. And I'm in love with you."
Understandably, the graphic image of her boyfriend having sex with someone else scarred Bella, particularly as he did not tell her about the scene until long after it was filmed.
In her reality show, Total Bellas, she said John’s movie sex scenes were a sight she couldn’t unsee: “Imagine watching your man do a sex scene and have the whole world see his big butt.
“You know, you get visuals. I swear, I couldn’t masturbate [in like] forever because I just think of the sex scene."
After the wrestling couple’s separation, Bella married Dancing with the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev in Paris in August 2022, but the couple finalised their divorce just two years later in August 2024.
Bella and Cena began dating in 2012 and got engaged in front of thousands of wrestling fans at WWE WrestleMania 33 in 2017, but called off the wedding just months later.
Shortly after the split, Bella said: “Right now, we’re just friends. We’re working on each other and trying to work on us, and we talk every day.
“He is not only my best friend, but he truly is one of the best people I have ever met, and he has patience with me and he has really taught me a lot over the last few months, and I think one of those things is an inner strength that I thought I had, but didn’t realise how strong I had it.’”
