Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a proud girl dad.
The Fast & Furious star has three daughters: Simone Johnson, 22, whom he shares with ex-wife Dany Garcia, as well as Jasmine Johnson, 7, and Tiana Johnson, 5, whom he shares with his wife, Lauren Hashian.
Johnson has never been shy about celebrating fatherhood and sharing sweet “daddy-daughter bonding” moments.
In 2021, he opened up about raising daughters to PEOPLE and said that it has helped him be “more tender and gentle,” adding that he and his wife are raising his two younger daughters in “an environment and a culture where there are no limits to life.”
Simone Alexandra Johnson, 22
The actor’s oldest daughter, Simone, was born on Aug. 14, 2001, in Davie, Florida, to Johnson and Garcia. She grew up mainly in Florida, where she graduated high school in May 2019.
Johnson splits his time between Los Angeles and Florida, and despite a busy work schedule, he always makes time for his family, including a quick round trip flight to Miami to spend Valentine’s Day with his “#1 Valentine,” Simone, in February 2019.
The month prior, the father-daughter duo hit the red carpet at Sundance Film Festival for the premiere of The Rock’s movie Fighting with My Family, though they both posed separately for the occasion. Later that year, Johnson sent Simone off to college at NYU in New York City, revealing on Live with Kelly and Ryan that they have an “awesome relationship” and that he is excited for her to start this next chapter, adding that “she earned it.”
The proud dad also said that he was not worried about any of the guys she would meet there. “I like to think, and it’s what girls do, they measure the men they meet in their life by their father,” he explained. “I like to think whoever she brings home is going to be a good quality person. And if they’re not … bang!”
In February 2020, it was announced that Simone had signed with WWE and would be following in the footsteps of not only her father, but also her late grandfather, Rocky Johnson, and her great-grandfather, “High Chief” Peter Maivia. She began training that month at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, becoming the first fourth-generation Superstar in the WWE and the youngest signee in the history of the company.
In October 2022, Simone made her WWE TV debut as Ava Raine. Her identity had been teased in preceding episodes, showing glimpses of her masked face throughout the arena. Finally, the wrestler officially debuted her new persona as the fourth member of wrestler Joe Gacy’s faction Schism.
“It means the world to me,” Simone said in a statement released by the WWE. “To know that my family has such a personal connection to wrestling is really special to me and I feel grateful to have the opportunity, not only to wrestle but to carry on that legacy.”
Naturally, Johnson was “very very proud” of his daughter, telling Jimmy Fallon during a virtual appearance on The Tonight Show, “First of all, what an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps but more importantly, follow in my footsteps sounds cliché, but she actually wants to create and blaze her own path, which is so important.”
Jasmine Lia Johnson, 7
Johnson and Hashian welcomed Jasmine, their first child together, on Dec. 16, 2015, in L.A. When Jasmine was born, Johnson declared that “Christmas definitely came early!” in a touching Instagram post about wanting to be a better father for his second daughter. Since then, he’s continued to happily embrace his role as “dad” in Jasmine’s life, enjoying their father-daughter movie nights, spa days and some good old-fashioned pranks.
In December 2017, Johnson brought Jasmine along to his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. The then-2-year-old stole the spotlight when she adorably told her father, “I love you,” into the microphone during his speech. Jasmine was also an integral part of her parents’ intimate wedding ceremony in Hawaii on Aug. 18, 2019, taking her role as the flower girl “very serious,” according to her dad on Instagram.
Tiana Gia Johnson, 5
In May 2023, Johnson marked Tiana’s 5th birthday by posting a picture from her princess-themed celebration. In his snap, the actor puckers his lips as his daughter, dressed in a Sleeping Beauty costume, laughs.
“Monster 😘 for Tia’s first princess party with all her friends. Lots of little magical Princesses running around the house having fun and none of them were scared of daddy 🙋🏽♂️👍🏾,” he wrote in the caption.
