John Cena confessed he still loves his ex-fiancee Nikki Bella and shared that he’s still reeling from the decision to call off their wedding weeks ahead of the big day.

“Nicole knows I love her and I miss her, but that is what it is. And I’m still here, still going–and I choose to go,” the 41-year-old actor shared during the promotion of his upcoming movie “Bumblebee,” according to E! News Thursday.

“When you love somebody, it stings. That’s why musicians write about it,” he added. “That’s why poets write about it.”

“If anything, just try to take away what went wrong,” Cena continued, as he shared some advice to others who might be dealing with heartache. “And enjoy the good times you had with the person that you love.”

Cena and Bella announced in a joint statement earlier this month that they were calling off with the wedding scheduled for May 5 after being together for six years.

“While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,” the celebrity pair shared. “We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.”
