John Cena doesn't think he will ever be "personally ready" to be a dad.

The Blockers actor, who is married to Shay Shariatzadeh, has a lot he wants to do with his own life and admitted he doesn't see having children in his future as a result.

Appearing on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast, he said: “I have a certain curiosity about life, and I also know the investment that it takes.

"As somebody who’s driven, many times stubborn and selfish, I try to approach the world with kindness and curiosity ... but I don’t think I’m personally ready, nor will I ever be, to invest the time [needed] to be a great parent," Cena stated.

"I want to live life for all it is. I still have a lot to do," the WWE superstar added.

The 47-year-old admitted that he and Shay have had "open conversations" about raising a family but ultimately found themselves to be "on the same page".

Cena began the "uncomfortable" discussions very early in their relationship.

"I opened with a few uncomfortable conversations. Those were first or second date questions with my now-wife. It’s great because we both got to lean into these uncomfortable moments, address this stuff and build a foundation," he said.

"Nothing is too uncomfortable to be unapproachable. Starting off with a conversation about … what is the definition of our family … helped us forge a path together as a team," he added.
