The Gentle Side of “The Violent Giant” — The Rock as a Devoted Family Man
Tough, impulsive, larger than life — that’s the image millions know of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. But at home, the legendary wrestler-turned-Hollywood star reveals an entirely different side: a warm, patient man devoted to the people he loves most.
On August 18, 2019, Johnson joyfully announced that he had secretly tied the knot with singer Lauren Hashian in Hawaii. After 14 years together, he finally heard the words, “I do,” from his longtime partner.

Asked about the secret to keeping their love strong, The Rock joked, “Happiness is making your partner laugh every single day. Lauren always teases me — about anything, really. There are no limits in our house, and that’s the beauty of it. And of course, I tease her right back.”
Before their wedding, the couple had already welcomed two daughters: Jasmine (5) and Tiana (2). Remembering the moment Lauren endured labor to bring their little angels into the world, Johnson called it “absolutely miraculous.”
Since becoming a father, the star has swapped late-night parties for bedtime stories and diaper duty. Twice, when Lauren gave birth, he set all work aside to care for her — even kneeling down to feed his wife while she nursed their baby.
The former wrestling champion also shines as a hands-on dad. When Jasmine was nearly two, she asked him one sunny morning, “Daddy, you need to paint your nails.” Johnson spent half the day sitting patiently while his daughter painted tiny masterpieces on his hands.
On Instagram, he has often shared photos of these tender father–daughter moments, melting fans’ hearts worldwide. Even when he’s starving, the Jumanji star lets his little princess doodle all over his face. Every day, he cheerfully gives in to their playful demands.
“Before bath time, Jasmine loves me to rap You’re Welcome — the song I performed in Disney’s Moana. So I rap it and teach her how to wash her hands,” he told fans, laughing. “A few weeks ago, I realized that same rap was making other kids excited about washing their hands too.”
Johnson’s devotion extends to his eldest daughter, Simone Johnson, from his first marriage. When Simone, at 18, decided to sign with WWE and follow in her father’s footsteps, The Rock was overjoyed.
“First and foremost, it’s a huge source of pride that she wants to carry on our family’s legacy,” he said. “But more importantly, she’s igniting a fire of her own. She’s now the youngest person ever to sign a WWE contract in the company’s history.”
Behind the action-hero muscles and wrestling persona, The Rock proves that true strength is shown in kindness, patience, and love for family.
