Where is Elizabeth Huberdeau now? John Cena’s ex-wife Wiki

Published

on

Who is Elizabeth Huberdeau?

Elizabeth Huberdeau is an American real estate broker and entrepreneur, but is probably best known to the world as the ex-wife of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star John Cena.

Where is Elizabeth Huberdeau Now?

Following her split from Cena, the two were involved in a long-drawn-out divorce process, after which Elizabeth withdrew from the media, and focused on her career work. She now runs her own real estate company, through which she buys, renovates, and sells housings for profit, widely known as flipping.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzlgk8ugULW/

She’s now in a relationship with a man named Eli Ayoub.

Age, Childhood, and Education

Elizabeth Huberdeau was born on 28 September 1979 under the Libra zodiac sign, in West Newbury, Massachusetts USA. Elizabeth never liked public attention, and never talked much about her growing up. Thus, the names and vocations of her parents remain unknown, as well as whether she has any siblings or not.

She attended Central Catholic School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, and after matriculating, enrolled at nearby Springfield College where she studied business, with a focus on venture capitalism and real estate.

Popularity Through Marriage

Elizabeth and Cena knew each other from their high school years, but their romance was birthed a few years after their graduation. At first they were close friends, but at some point in their lives, they started dating, though neither of them said when.

Both of them insisted on privacy, despite John Cena’s eponymous success, and no media outlet knew about Elizabeth’s existence until John announced that he was going to marry, in one interview while promoting his newest film at the time, “12 Rounds” in 2009.

Fans were left in awe by his words and everyone wanted to find out who his partner was.

The two married five months after he made the announcement, in a private ceremony held on 11 July 2009.

Once they married, Elizabeth turned into a star, but they still kept things private just between the two. This is why the world was flabbergasted when Cena announced in May 2012 that he was filing for divorce.

Everybody thought that their romance would be a lasting one, but it came to an abrupt end.

Divorce Process

Elizabeth claimed that John was unfaithful to her during their marriage, and launched an online and media attack on Cena. She talked to various outlets, including TMZ and Heavy, creating stories about Cena’s multiple infidelities, after her lawyers discovered evidence that Cena was, in fact, unfaithful to her.

Moreover, Elizabeth didn’t support Cena’s thoughts on not having children. Once the divorce was announced, the two entered the long and drawn-out process that involved their prenuptial agreement, which Elizabeth didn’t follow, due to Cena’s romance with Nikki Bella, five months after splitting from her.

Fight over House Remodeling?

Another reason behind their divorce was a fight over the remodeling of their house. According to reports, Elizabeth hired constructors to work on their home behind Cena’s back, as he didn’t like the changes. However, after the remodeling was finished, Cena refused to pay the workers, which added to the problems in their marriage.

Net Worth

As of early 2022, Elizabeth Huberdeau’s net worth has been estimated to be around $10 million, earned largely through her successful career as a real estate agent, but also through the settlement she received following her divorce from Cena.

Appearance and Vital Statistics

John Cena’s ex-wife has light brown hair and green eyes. She stands at a height of 5ft 5ins (1.65m), weighs approximately 120lbs (55kgs), with vital statistics of 38-32-40, bra size 36C.
