Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is praised for his work as an actor, wrestler and businessman, but it’s also important to point out how amazing of a father he is. The beloved Hollywood star takes pride in being the dad of his three daughters, Simone, Jasmine and Tiana.
“I realized being a father is the greatest job I have ever had and the greatest job I will ever have,” The Rock sweetly shared during an appearance on a new OWN series in December 2020. “I always wanted to be a great dad. I always wanted to give [my children] things that I felt I never got.”
Parenting isn’t always easy, but the Rampage star is willing to make whatever sacrifice it takes to see his babies smile. It’s been like that ever since the moment Dwayne welcomed his eldest daughter, Simone, alongside his ex-wife, Dany Garcia.
Those feelings intensified as the former football player expanded his family with his longtime love and second spouse, Lauren Hashian. Dwayne and the singer-songwriter are the proud parents of the hunk’s younger kids, Jasmine and Tiana.
As the dad of girls, The Rock feels lucky to be surrounded by amazing young ladies. “[Jasmine’s] so beautiful, and her and Tia — and of course my oldest, Simone — it’s just the best thing … I have a house full of just strong, bad-ass women … it’s terrifying, but it’s awesome,” he gushed to ExtraTV in July 2019.
“I grew up an only child [and] my dad was tough. He kicked my ass … there was a lot of testosterone growing up,” the Jumanji actor continued. “So there is this balance, having all this estrogenic energy, then also me having the opportunity to infuse ‘father’ and hopefully setting a standard of what a man should be in their lives.”
There’s no doubt Dwayne has perfected his role as a father, but he’s still learning new things every day. “Through life and experience, I’m a different kind of dad,” he told Fatherly in 2017. “[My daughters] teach me so much, and continue to check me. They’re the equalizer.”

Dwayne became a dad for the first time when his eldest daughter, Simone, arrived on August 14, 2001. The Fate of the Furious actor welcomed his tot with his first wife, Dany. The former couple was married from 1997 to 2008.
Simone is still a teenager, but the brunette beauty has already accomplished a lot in her short life. Aside from being an IMG model, Simone was named the first-ever Golden Globe Ambassador for the 2018 awards show. Most impressively, she’s the youngest signee to land a deal with WWE.
Simone was set to make her debut as a fourth-generation wrestler, but she unfortunately suffered a knee injury in September 2020. “So tomorrow, I’m having knee surgery for the third time,” she tweeted at the time. “As not fun as surgery is, I’m looking forward to my knees not popping out anymore.”
In addition to wrestling, the Norfolk State University graduate loves spending time with friends, traveling and documenting her life on social media.
Jasmine Johnson
The Rock’s second kiddo, Jasmine, came along during the early days of his relationship with Lauren. The pair welcomed their daughter on December 16, 2015. Jasmine has yet to follow in her dad’s famous footsteps, but she already made her red carpet debut as she attended the actor’s 2017 induction ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Jasmine also makes frequent appearances on Dwayne’s Instagram. For her birthday in December 2020, the San Andreas star uploaded the cutest video of their family’s celebration, writing, “This lil’ tornado has no idea how much her and her baby sister anchors our souls.”
Dwyane also posted a video of the two horsing around in the pool in October 2020. “We play this game for 20 minutes until my arms feel like they’re falling out of their sockets,” he wrote. “As relentlessly energetic as my kids are, man, this is the stuff I truly cherish.”

Dwayne and Lauren welcomed the star’s third child and their second daughter together, Tiana, on April 17, 2018. More than one year after the little one’s arrival, the pair tied the knot during a romantic ceremony in August 2019.
When The Rock and his love welcomed their little girl, the doting dad praised his spouse for bringing Tiana into their life. “Blessed and proud to bring another strong girl into this world. Tiana Gia Johnson came into this world like a force of nature and mama labored and delivered like a true rockstar,” the Hobbs & Shaw star wrote on social media. “I was raised and surrounded by strong, loving women all my life, but after participating in baby Tia’s delivery, it’s hard to express the new level of love, respect and admiration I have for Lauren and all mamas and women out there.”

Whether they’re watching movies together, being creative with artwork or playing with toys, The Rock is loves showing off the sweetest moments with his daughter. He’s also one to write cute messages for Tiana’s, including his post in April 2021 for her birthday.
“Happy birthday to my sweetest lil’ Tia Giana,” The Rock penned next to a photo with his little one. “Loving, kind, tenacious and tough (like your mama) and my greatest joy is being your daddy. I always ‘got you.’”
