Dwayne Johnson, 48, is easily the funniest person on Instagram. Aside from ridiculous gym videos and photos of cute puppies, our favorite is a heartfelt post by the former wrestling star dedicated to his wife, 36-year-old singer and songwriter and music producer Lauren Hashean. Although Lauren flies around every day, the young rock star has made public his true feelings for her. Based on what she has to say about the media and social media, it's clear that their relationship is as strong as ever.
1. Find love again
Several media outlets confirmed that their story began in 2006, when Dwayne Johnson and Lauren first met on set for the movie Project Game. At the time, Dwayne Johnson was married to producer and professional bodybuilder Dani Garcia, and they had a daughter named Simone Alexander.
Shortly after Dwayne Johnson and Dany divorced in 2007, he and Lauren began dating. Despite his breakup with Dani, the former wrestler asked her in 2008 if she could be his agent, according to Mary Claire. Dany has held this position ever since.
In a 2015 interview with Esquire, Dwayne Johnson revealed that he had "lived with Lauren for 9 years," telling us that the two lived together soon after they were officially married. Looking back on the early days of their relationship, Dwayne Johnson told People magazine that he felt he was very lucky to fall in love again.
"Falling in love again? In my situation, it's hard to do it twice. I'm one of the lucky ones. ”
2. Get through tough times together
The two have endured some tough obstacles, including the untimely death of Dwayne Johnson's dear friend, Paul Walker, partner of Fast and Furious, in 2013. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Dwayne Johnson recalled his heartbreaking moment, with Lauren always by his side.
Lauren has been patient with him as Dwayne Johnson relives his past struggles with depression and the challenges he has faced over the years in trying to maintain his mental health.
3. Have two children
Just a week before Christmas 2015, the couple had their first child and named her Jasmine.
"I was there during childbirth, helping her breathe, every intense contraction, every second of pain, right there watching the real delivery, cutting the umbilical cord, wiping away tears. Incredible," he noted on Instagram. "As men, this is a miracle we should witness because it will give you a whole new respect for a woman's strength and beauty."
A few years later, in April 2018, the couple welcomed their second daughter, Tiana. To announce the news, Boulder shared another equally touching post. In the book, he reflects on all the "strong, loving women" in his life, and his growing admiration for Lauren as he sees her bring new life to the world.
"If you really want to understand the most powerful and primal moments in life – watching your child be born. This changes lives, and your respect and admiration for a woman will always be limitless. ”
Boulder isn't the only one who likes to share photos of his lovely daughter. Lauren went around sharing snapshots of their lives with their two children. As far as we know, they are both parents of rock stars.
Dwayne Johnson was never shy about expressing his admiration for Lauren as a mother.
In an Instagram post on Mother's Day, he wrote: "Lauren did all this with a sincere smile and is the kindest, sweetest soul you've ever seen." "Bow to you -- you're an amazing mom who makes the world work."
4. Secret marriage
For years, the couple never seemed to get married. There are even rumors that the couple is secretly married.
However, on Aug. 18, 2019, the couple exchanged vows at a low-key Hawaiian ceremony. In an Instagram post, Boulder shared the news.
"Our wedding in Hawaii was beautiful and I want to thank our incredible staff for their excellent work," he wrote. "To protect privacy, no wedding planners or external resources are hired." Everything you see is handmade, just the staff and family. ”
Lauren posted more photos of the seaside ceremony, writing she was ecstatic.
Dwayne Johnson revealed to Insider that the goal is to maintain a close relationship with his family and try to balance his and Lauren's busy work schedules. But the ultimate secret of their relationship — what Dwayne Johnson called "the greatest relationship" — is their ability to always make each other happy.
