Now they have released statements confirming the split.

Bella said she knows "what is best for me" while Cena insisted he will learn from the experience.

News website TMZ say the couple's friends insist the ring heroes have grown too far apart to ever get back together.

Bella reportedly decided on Sunday she needed a clean break after watching the final episode of Total Bellas, a show following her family and relationships.
