  • JC will always remember Nikki as “the one that got away” lucky for her because he just was NOT her type or speed. Nikki is gorgeous and can scoop up any man she wants. Her career will blast off now that she is officially single. Nikki just has that certain charm and charisma that if guided correctly she can become a mega super star. Parenthood will eventually cross her path… just NOT right now. Love you Nikki.

  • I wonder if Nikki gave the ring back to Cena, Cena seems like the type to ask for the ring back immediately and then use the same ring to propose to another woman lmao then his explanation for the rings design will be, the middle one 4 carats for the 4 girls I previously proposed to then 4 on each side each representing my 8 commandment rules for marriage.

  • I can’t wait till they get married, so they can get divorced! I give it two years tops all because John won’t change his mind about having kids. The day they make the divorce announcement will be my celebration day. John deserves better then some modern day Yoko Ono who is way more talented then she’ll ever be. For all of you wondering if the if the wedding will be filmed don’t worry, I’m sure it will be because Yoko is an attention seeker. After years of pushing him you finally got what you wanted, didn’t you Yoko? I hope you’re proud of yourself. How does it feel knowing you had to beg and grovel for 4 1/2 years to get him to propose? To bad for you, no matter how bad you want them, you’ll still never have kids.

  • I tried to tell all of you, but did you listen to me? No. I knew John would see the light eventually. I’m so proud of him! πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ I know John will truly find someone he’s meant to be with. It was never Nikki, I could feel It, but all of you thought I was just jealous. What is it you guys always used to say to me? Nikki and John will be together forever? Well who was right? Lmao! Looks like Pathetic Nikki won’t get that trip down the aisle after all. πŸ™‚ :):) πŸ™‚
