John Cena fans are showering praise on the wrestler after he recalled keeping his brother’s sexuality a secret for over 10 years.

A fan account for the 48-year-old former WWE wrestler shared a clip of the star explaining the moment he discovered his brother, Steve Cena, was gay.

In the clip, from a 2014 interview with the late Larry King, the 14-time WWE world champion explained that his brother came out to him privately when they were teenagers.

“I had two choices; I could either disown him as a human being for what he does, or he can still be my brother,” he told King. “He came out to me, uh, before I turned 20 years old, and he asked me to keep it a secret.”

That’s exactly what Cena did for over 10 years until his brother was ready to tell his family.
“When he did, he was met with a little adversity by the family. It’s an old Italian family. You know, they’re stubborn old b*******,” he explained. “But, you know, I was there to support him every step of the way.”
