Elizabeth Huberdeau is the ex-wife of world-famous WWE champion and actor John Cena. She rose to prominence when she tied the knot with the WWE wrestler. Unlike her husband, she didn’t have a career in the entertainment industry. However, she is a star in her own right.
As the first woman to walk down the aisle with John Cena, fans are curious about the ex-wife of the WWE wrestler. Who is Elizabeth Huberdeau? Where is she now?
Meet John Cena’s Ex-Wife
Elizabeth Huberdeau was born on September 28, 1979, in West Newbury, Massachusetts, U.S. Very little is known about Elizabeth Huberdeau’s upbringing as she has not revealed any details about her childhood. The famous wrestler’s ex-wife is also cagey about the identity of her parents and siblings. As a result, it is unknown if she has siblings.
However, according to reports, she attended Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts. After graduating high school, she furthered her education, attending Springfield College in Massachusetts, majoring in Business.
Elizabeth Huberdeau’s Career
Elizabeth Huberdeau is most famous for being John Cena’s ex-wife. Career-wise, Huberdeau was reportedly a model before her nuptials to the WWE champion. Although these reports are unconfirmed, it is no surprise that many think she was a model considering how gorgeous she is.
However, she works in the real estate world. Huberdeau is a real estate mogul who has thrived as an agent, developer, and businesswoman. She focuses on refurbishing residential and commercial properties, buying, constructing, and trading.
Elizabeth Huberdeau Met John Cena in High School
Elizabeth Huberdeau and John Cena, two years her senior, met in high school when they were both students in Massachusetts. The now-divorced couple both attended Springfield College. The pair reportedly dated intermittently since then and even broke up in the early 2000s.
The media entered a frenzy when Cena announced his marriage to Huberdeau while promoting his 2009 movie, “12 Rounds.” While some fans were wondering if she was a wrestler like him, others were piecing the puzzles of their relationship together. It was soon discovered that the pair were high school sweethearts, which melted fans’ hearts.
The lovebirds tied the knot on July 11, 2009, in an intimate ceremony in Boston, Massachusetts. Following her marriage to Cena, fans started calling her Liz Cena, as the wrestler fondly called her. However, their union didn’t last long.
Her Marriage to Cena Ended Within Three Years
Despite being teenage sweethearts, Huberdeau and Cena’s marriage ended in less than three years. While fans thought all was well with the couple, John Cena unexpectedly filed divorce papers to end their 3-year marriage in Hillsborough County on May 1, 2012. He claimed that his marriage to Elizabeth Huberdeau was “irretrievably broken.”
Huberdeau responded to the filing by saying that his petition should be dismissed. For one, she claimed Cena didn’t bring “a proper dissolution of marriage action” against her as it referred to her as Elizabeth Huberdeau and not Elizabeth Cena.
Furthermore, she also insisted that while Cena claimed there is no marital property, there is, and she wants to share. Huberdeau also challenged the prenup agreement they signed and claimed that her husband was being unfaithful by sleeping with other women behind her back.
Although the couple eventually finalized their divorce on July 18, 2012, the terms of their settlement remain confidential. However, Huberdeaus’s attorney revealed that everything was resolved amicably.
How Many Kids Does John Cena’s First Wife Have?
Elizabeth Huberdeau does not have a kid. Her marriage to Cena lasted three years and ended abruptly after a messy divorce. The now-divorced couple has no children, as the wrestler was not ready to become a father.
Following their divorce, Cena started dating co-wrestler Nikki Bella and proposed to her at Wrestlemania on April 2, 2017. However, the pair called off their engagement some months later, in April 2018. Cena eventually tied the knot for the second time to Shay Shariatzadeh in 2020. While Liz, on the other hand, was allegedly dating Eli Ayoub after photos of the pair surfaced on the internet.
Where Is Elizabeth Huberdeau Now?
While Huberdeau was with John Cena, she led a private life despite his fame. So, after the wrestler divorced her, she withdrew from the spotlight and focused solely on her career in real estate.
Although she is a famous face, thanks to her former title as John Cena’s ex-wife, she keeps a low profile on social media and other platforms. She does not have an active Instagram account and is focusing on her career and taking life one step at a time.
Elizabeth Huberdeau might not be as popular as her ex-husband. However, she remains the first woman to have walked down the aisle with him. Although she wanted her marriage to last forever, it didn’t. Like Reese Witherspoon, she has since moved on.
