Sources had previously said that her decision to call it quits was due to their differing stances onmarriageandhaving kids: She wanted a family, but Cena, 41, was hesitant.
“This was never really about ending their relationship — it was about calling off a wedding because something didn’t feel right,” an insider said. “It was a wedding that was entered into under false pretenses. She was pretending she was okay with not having a kid, he was pretending he absolutely couldn’t and wouldn’t budge on that point.”
“They both got a wake-up call once they canceled the wedding, and they both realized they could fix what was broken,” the insider added.
Although their differing desires played a role in their split, a source close to the couple said that it would only be a matter of time before they reconciled.
“She’ll take him back, definitely. She loves him, and she knows he loves her desperately,” said the source. “They’ll get back together and they’ll get married the way they always should have: something small, intimate, for only the closest family and friends. Not some huge circus that will spook John or make him feel like he’s a performing monkey — something that can be about just the two of them.”
