According to , the 43-year-old is 'proud' of his former girlfriend.
A source said: “John is very happy for Nikki because she now has exactly what she had always wanted all along.
“Having a child was so important to her and John was never going to be able to give that to her so he is very happy that she has had her son.
“He will eventually reach out because it is pretty much a guarantee that they will see each other in the future.
"Either at a mutual friend get together or likely a WWE event, so he never would want to make it weird for her.
"He will never be that guy. He will be very mature about it all.
