Nikki Bella and John Cena announced their split in a joint statement and broke the hearts of many but it seems like their split was something the WWE wrestler had foreseen. In the latest episode of Total Bellas, it is seen that Nikki seems to be uncertain about her relationship with John while she tries on some wedding dresses.

While her family members think that she looks stunning, Nikki seems to believe that she does not. "I thought you're supposed to be excited about this. Like when you watch the movies, or all I hear from my friends are like, 'Oh my god, greatest day, break out the champagne" Nikki can be seen telling her family. "And like for me, I'm just like, 'Okay let's make this quick'. There's just something not feeling right."

The scene soon cuts to Nikki and John's engagement party. At this point, one would think that Nikki must be feeling better but unfortunately, her feelings take a different turn. She recalls feeling as if she was forced to smile. "It's crazy because I am not that person," she says. "I've been looking forward to this forever."

However, the last straw in their relationship was when John told Nikki that he does not want to have kids. "I just know deep down I want a baby," Nikki tells the camera. "I guess, I don't know, I want to be a mom. And I feel like I can't live the rest of my life not having one."

The clip soon cuts to the part where the relationship between Nikki and John ends. "I would never force you not to be a mom. I want to say it's a surprise but I even told you so many times this would happen," John can be seen saying. "I'm not sure that we should go through with this." However, things seem to have changed now and John said in an interview that he would love to have kids with Nikki and wants her back in his life. 

"I love her. I want to be with her. I want to make her my wife. I want to be the father of her children. I just want us to work and that's so just from [the heart] and all that other stuff is B.S," he said. John confessed he supports Nikki in finding "whatever it is she wants that made this fall apart in the first place". Nikki was surprised by John's sudden change of heart and was heard wondering whether they should have another go at a relationship so that they wouldn't regret it in the future.
