Nikki BellaandJohn Cenajust couldn’t quit each other.
Just over one month after the longtime couple announced their split, Bella and Cena are officially on the road to reconciliation.
“They’re basically back together,” a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE.
Bellacalled offher engagement to Cena, 40, in April — three weeks before they were meant to walk down the aisle.
Sources previously told PEOPLE that her decision to call it quits was due to their differing stances onmarriageandhaving kids: She wanted a family, but he was hesitant.
“This was never really about ending their relationship— it was about calling off a wedding because something didn’t feel right,” the source says. “It was a wedding that was entered into under false pretenses. She was pretending she was okay with not having a kid, he was pretending he absolutely couldn’t and wouldn’t budge on that point.”
On Saturday, Bella, 34, and Cena, 41, werespotted out togetherfor the first since their split.
“They both got a wake-up call once they canceled the wedding, and they both realized they could fix what was broken,” the source explains.
