John Cena: My number one passion is my wife
WWE
star turned actor
John Cena
has revealed neither wrestling nor his blossoming Hollywood career is his passion.
The actor and WWE icon, who is retiring from wrestling in December this year, said he always prioritises his partner Shay Shariatzadeh.
He told Extra: "My number one passion is my wife. Absolutely, that is first on the list. I'd say right behind that is my health so I can be the best husband to my wife."
Despite his upcoming retirement, the "Heads of State" actor said that he will always be part of WWE in some capacity as long as they want him, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"This is my final year in the WWE. I'm retiring this year. We're about halfway through, so I look forward to officially closing the book on in-ring competition.
I will forever be an ambassador of the WWE. I'll be part of that family till they ask me to leave."
The 48-year-old star is stepping away from life as a professional wrestler knowing that his Hollywood career has hit new heights, but he doesn't take it for granted.
He said: "I know how hard it is to get any sort of role. I saw some footage today, which was one of my first roles as a background actor and man, it really warmed my heart.
I don't carry any guilt or shame when I see that, because I got to be on screen, I got to learn a little bit about the business.
"It allowed me to reflect on how far I've come, so, gosh, I just want to make the most of the chances that people take on me."
In "Head Of State", Cena will be seen sharing screen space with Indian actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Hollywood star

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Ep 1 Update: Mihir Surprises Tulsi With A Car On 38th Anniversary
Last Updated: Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2: The premiere sees Smriti Irani back as Tulsi, bringing sanskaar, family drama and nostalgia in full force. Here's what happened in Episode 1. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Episode 1 Written Updates: The much-awaited reboot of Ekta Kapoor's iconic daily soap, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, premiered on July 29, and Episode 1 delivered a heavy dose of nostalgia, tradition and fresh drama. Smriti Irani returns as Tulsi Virani, the soul of the show, and her comeback scene — performing aarti outside the Virani household — instantly transports viewers to the golden era of Indian TV. The episode opens with a powerful throwback to the original as the classic title track plays, now woven with the entry of new characters like Ritik (Aman Gandhi), Angad (Rohit Suchanti), and Paridhi (Shagun Sharma). Familiar faces including Hiten Tejwani, Gauri Pradhan, Ritu Chaudhary, Ketki Dave and Shakti Anand also return, offering a perfect blend of old and new. As Tulsi manages household chores and prepares for her 38th wedding anniversary with Mihir (Amar Upadhyay), emotions run high. She reminisces about Baa and her late mother-in-law, grounding the episode in family values and emotional depth. Conflict begins to simmer as Gayatri chachi (Kamalika Guha) plots against Tulsi, feeling overshadowed in the household. She urges her son Hemant (Shakti Anand) to claim control, but he refuses, saying Tulsi and Mihir are his role models. Meanwhile, the next-gen trio—Paridhi, Angad, and Ritik—are introduced with their own emotional complexities. Paridhi, feeling alienated, confides in her boyfriend but is cautioned by Angad not to misjudge Tulsi's intentions. A moment of misunderstanding arises when Mihir forgets to wish Tulsi, leaving her heartbroken. But he redeems himself with a heartfelt surprise—gifting her a luxury car and sharing an emotional anniversary wish that brings tears and closure. The episode ends with Gayatri scheming in the shadows while Tulsi prays for her family's happiness, signaling that this new era of Kyunki will retain its iconic emotional pull while introducing fresh drama.
