Absence seems to make the heart grow fonder — at least for Nikki Bella and John Cena.
According to People, the WWE couple are back together just six weeks after ending their engagement.
“They were always going to find their way back to each other,” the source told People. “It was never going to be permanent.”
Bella, 34, made the tough decision to call off their wedding back in April, a decision she said she was “heartbroken” over.
But since then, the couple have been on the mend, sharing their desire to get back together. The “Total Bellas” star and the pro wrestler were spotted together for the first time since their split on May 19.
A second source told People that “they never stopped talking. Other than the actual wedding weekend, when they took some space, they have been talking.”

Sources had previously said that Bella and Cena, 41, had initially called off their engagement due to differences on growing a family together.
However, back in May, Cena spoke about the split on the “Today” show: “For anyone out there speculating on what I am doing with my life now, I still love Nicole, I still would love to marry Nicole, I still would love to have a family with Nicole,” alluding to an “unfortunate set of circumstances” that led to the end of their relationship.
Bella admitted that she was shocked and “speechless” hearing that statement.

A source close to the couple told People that Bella still loves Cena and would definitely take him back. “They’ll get back together and they’ll get married the way they always should have: something small, intimate, for only the closest family and friends. Not some huge circus that will spook John or make him feel like he’s a performing monkey, something that can be about just the two of them.
“The wedding they called off no longer felt like their wedding, it was a wedding for TV, a wedding for publicity, a wedding for the fans and for viewers almost,” the source added. “That’s what made them able to walk away from it. It didn’t even feel like their day anymore, and it was already so tainted by the arguments and bad feelings that led up to it and during the planning of it. In the end, calling it off is going to be the best thing that ever happened to their relationship.”
