Who is Dwayne Johnson married to?
Dwayne Johnson first met Dany Garcia, a fellow University of Miami student, in the early 1990s. On May 3, 1997, they married. She is an entrepreneur, IFBB pro bodybuilder, and producer. Simone, their daughter, was born on August 14, 2001. Johnson and Garcia announced their amicable divorce on June 1, 2007, and their divorce was finalized in May 2008.
Johnson began dating Lauren Hashian, the daughter of Boston percussionist Sib Hashian, in 2007. They initially met while Johnson was filming The Game Plan in 2006. They married in Hawaii on August 18, 2019. They have two daughters. Johnson and Hashian live in Los Angeles and have a farm in Virginia as well as a property in Southwest Ranches, Florida.
Johnson was bestowed the noble title Seiuli (meaning the son of Malietoa [Alo o Malietoa]) by Malietoa Tanumafili II during his visit to Samoa on August 9, 2004, in appreciation of his contribution to the Samoan people and because he is a descendant of Samoan chiefs. He obtained Canadian citizenship through his father’s birth and citizenship in 2009. In 2003, he got a partial Samoan pe’a tattoo on his left side. In 2017, he covered the little “Brahma bull” tattoo on his right arm with a larger half-sleeve bull’s skull tattoo.
WWE confirmed in February 2020 that Johnson’s daughter Simone has begun training at the WWE Performance Center, making her the first fourth-generation WWE wrestler. On May 16, Johnson stated that she had acquired a contract with WWE and that her ring name would be Ava Raine in May 2022. She has subsequently debuted on the NXT brand.
Johnson is a fan of Samoa’s national rugby league team, and he publicly promised his support for them during the 2021 Rugby League World Cup, where they reached the final for the first time.
Meanwhile, Johnson was born on May 2, 1972, in Hayward, California, the son of Ata Johnson and former professional wrestler Rocky Johnson (born Wayde Douglas Bowles). He spent a brief childhood in Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand, with his mother’s family, where he played rugby and attended Richmond Road Primary School before returning to the United States.
Johnson’s father was a Black Nova Scotian with some Irish ancestors. His mother is from Samoa. In 1983, his father and Tony Atlas became WWE’s first black tag team champions. His mother is the adopted daughter of professional wrestler Peter Maivia.
Lia Johnson, Johnson’s maternal grandmother, was one of the first female pro wrestling promoters, taking over Polynesian Pacific Pro Wrestling after her husband died in 1982 and running it until 1988. Johnson is a non-blood relative of the Anoa’i wrestling family through his maternal grandfather Maivia. He inducted his father and grandfather into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008.
Johnson went to Montclaire Elementary School in Charlotte, North Carolina, before transferring to Hamden, Connecticut, where he went to Shepherd Glen Elementary and subsequently Hamden Middle School. He went to President William McKinley High School in Honolulu, then Glencliff High School and McGavock High School in Nashville, and finally Freedom High School in Bethlehem Township, Lehigh Valley, where he graduated in 1990.
Johnson struggled at Freedom High School and was dragged into a culture of strife and minor crime. He had been arrested many times by the age of 17 for fighting, stealing, and cheque fraud, and had been suspended for two weeks for fighting. Later, the local media described him as “a troubled teenager with a history of run-ins with the police.”
Jody Cwik, the football coach at Freedom High School, noticed athletic potential in Johnson and encouraged him to join the squad, where he played defensive lineman. For Johnson, the incident marked the beginning of a personal transition. “My mind approach began to shift. That’s when I started thinking about objectives and what I wanted to achieve,” he’s since remarked of his high school football experience.
