John Cena never takes his phone out on date nights.
The WWE legend turned Hollywood actor - who is married to Shay Shariatzadeh - has opened up on his dating tips, and insisted his outlook "can be so simple".
He told Us Weekly: "Honestly, it can be so simple. I was just telling a lady who asked what makes me swoon... I think it's just being there.
"Fun things I do on date night? Put your f'n phone at home. Not in your pocket, I don't even bring it with me. You only need one person to dial 911.
"So... only one phone, that way we're both present, and when you're there, you're there."
The 48-year-old star also urged people to be honest if you don't feel in the right "headspace" for a date.
He added: "If your mind is scattered and you're not ready yet, take a five minute [break], tell your partner or the person you're with, 'Man, I don't know if I'm in the headspace to be here.'
"But when you're there, you're there. So, I'm going to do all these 'talky bits' and then when I turn the corner, it is date night."
The 'Heads of State' star was speaking at Amazon's Upfront event this week, and he revealed even that was an occasion for him and his wife.
He told E! News: "We try to make a date out of all these things. She's here and we're going to have some fun."
John rarely talks about Shay, 36, and while they're frequently seen together on red carpets, they keep a lot of their private live under wraps.
Appearing on Dax Shepard's 'Armchair Expert' podcast a year ago, he explained: "I certainly value her safety and well-being.
"One of the promises I made to her on the altar was, 'I will do my best not to put you in any undue harm's way.'
"It's not to say that everyone out there has bad intentions or we'd ever run into someone bad, but you also never know when someone feels threatened."
He previously insisted their personal life is for their "inner circle", which benefits their relationship.
He told 'Today' in 2023: "We have core values which we both believe in, and one of those is keeping our information to us and those extremely close to our inner circle.
"I couldn't be happier, but I think a way for us to keep our intimacy is by keeping it intimate."

Neighbours revival ends with chance for 'new chapter'
Neighbours has seen its last day of filming on its two-year Prime Video revival, with producers saying there are "tantalising possibilities for a future chapter". The Australian soap will see its latest series finish in December after 40 years on TV, with the cast wrapping filming on Friday at Nunawading studios as producers remain hopeful for further episodes. Executive producer Jason Herbison said: "Neighbours is a special show and it's been a privilege to make the recent seasons for our loyal viewers around the world. "We have added 460 episodes to our legacy of over 9000 episodes, something we all feel proud of. "Once again, we will be resting the residents of Ramsay Street on a hopeful note, with some tantalising possibilities for a future chapter." The soap has followed the lives of those living and working in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough since 1985, and launched the careers of the likes of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Margot Robbie. Stefan Dennis, who first appeared in the soap as Paul Robinson in 1985, said: "I never thought a single show would give me the greatest adventures of my career, spanning 40 years. "Without Neighbours I would not have met the people, been to the places and lived the experiences of a lifetime. Thank you all." Neighbours was dropped by the UK's Channel 5 in 2022 following failure to secure new funding, with a finale episode in July that year seeing an average audience of 2.5 million tune in, as a host of well-known characters returned to the show. The soap's return was announced in late 2022, with a social media clip featuring some of the soap's characters being told the news, but in February this year it was announced the soap would not continue after reports production company Fremantle Media failed to secure a deal with Amazon.
