Nikki Bella and John Cena 'have faked split as a publicity stunt' to drive up ratings for Total Bellas

Nikki Bella and John Cena called off their May 5 wedding in April to the shock of their fans.

But the new issue of Star magazine claims it's all a publicity stunt to drive up ratings for her reality TV show Total Bellas.

Their biggest argument from the outlet is that the timing is just too good: the split was announced just days before the season premiere of her hit TV series.

DailyMail.com has reached out to both their reps for comment.

Now the show - which has seen a spike in ratings due to the drama - is now all about the disintegration of their relationship. 


The breaking point was Nikki wanted kids and he didn't. He has told her all along he does not want kids and he refuses to back down. She cried over wanting a baby. It's a dilemma a lot of couples face, but it may not be real.

'A lot of people suspect the split was a publicity stunt,' said a source. 'It was for the third season of her TV show Total Bellas.'

The source added that faking the split is not a big deal for them as they're already WWE performers who are used to faking fights for ratings. 

It was added: 'It seems too big of a coincidence that John and Nikki broke up right before the season premiere.'

And a wedding is definitely coming, it was insisted.
