Nikki Bella's sister Brie was concerned that Nikki was sacrificing way too much to be with John Cena
Brie Bella is sad and relieved that her sister Nikki Bella called off her engagement to WWE star John Cena. As most sisters would be, Brie was worried that Nikki was giving up too much to be with John Cena.
As reported by PEOPLE, a source close to the sisters shared, "On one level, Brie wants to kill him, sure. No one should be allowed to hurt her sister like this. But honestly, on another level, there’s relief. Nikki was bending over backward to accommodate this guy and everyone, especially Brie, was worried that she was sacrificing way, way too much — most of all, motherhood."
In the past, Nikki has publicly stated that she would be willing to give up wanting to be a mother in order to be with John Cena. Friends and family of Nikki knew just how much of a sacrifice this was and were aware of the fact that she still struggled to accept the decision.
"The things she said when she was with John — that she didn’t need to be a wife, or then that she didn’t need to be a mom — that’s just not Nikki," the source added. When Brie gave birth to her first child, Birdie in 2017 it became very hard for Brie to see her sister give up on the dream of starting a family.
"She will be such an amazing mom someday, and she loves Brie’s baby so much. So, of course, that’s what Brie wanted for Nikki. To have to hear her trying to convince herself and everyone else that she would be fine just giving it up, it was so hard. Brie never bought it," the source continued.
Nikki Bella and John Cena announced that they had called off their engagement last week. The couple was supposed to get married on the 5th of May at a destination wedding.
