A


t the July 13 Los Angeles premiere of
his new Fast & Furious spinoff mov-
ie, Hobbs & Shaw, Dwayne “the Rock”
Johnson mingled with throngs of fans
and industry execs. But there was one
person by his side all evening— longtime
girlfriend Lauren Hashian. And when
the night was over, it wasn’t the glam-
our of the red carpet he remembered.
Johnson posted a photo of him and Hashian, 34,
on Instagram, calling her “my much better half ”
and writing, “Best part about this night is by 11pm,
we’re already at home, in our sweatpants and sip-
pin’ on tequila. My kinda night and my kinda gal.”
And then some. A month later Johnson, 47,
made the surprising announcement that he
and Hashian, a songwriter/music producer and
mother of his two daughters Jasmine, 3, and Tia-
na, 16 months, had made it official, marrying in an
intimate ceremony in the actor’s beloved state of
Hawaii. Sharing two photos from their wedding
day, Johnson wrote, “We do. August 18th, 2019.
Hawaii. Pōmaikai ( blessed).”
For the nuptials Hashian
chose an open-back Chan-
tilly lace sheath gown by
couture bridal designer
Mira Zwillinger while
Johnson opted for a Ralph
Lauren dress shirt with
white trousers. Surround-
ed by a small group of close
family, the couple exchanged
Anita Ko rings.
The actor first met Hashian in 2006 when he
was shooting The Game Plan, and the two began
dating in 2007. Married previously for 10 years to
one of his producing partners, Dany Garcia, with
whom he has one daughter, Simone, 18, Johnson
told People in 2012 that he was “so fortunate to
have fallen in love once. To fall in love again? That’s
a hard thing to do twice in the position I’m in. I’m
one lucky son of a bitch.” Now as he and Hashian
(who call Florida home) begin their life together
as husband and wife, the former Sexiest Man Alive
is already grateful for the family they’ve created as
well. “Watching Lauren be a mom has been one of
the most enlightening things I’ve ever seen,” he
told People in 2016. “As a man, you see your lady,
your partner, your woman, you see them in a cer-
tain light and then when they become ‘Mom,’ it’s a
whole other perspective that if you open your eyes
wide enough, it’s like a kaleidoscope. You click it a
couple of times and it just changes everything.” •

‘I’ve

that when
you love,
you’ve got

powerfully’
—DWAYNE
JOHNSON

Love at
First Sight
The actor shared a
photo of newborn
daughter Tiana
Gia in April 2018,
adding that
Hashian “labored
and delivered like
a true rockstar.”

Family Time
“I think I’m a
good dad,” the
actor (with
Tiana, Hashian
and Jasmine last
October) told
People in 2016.
“You hope that
you take the
lessons you learned
in life and apply
them properly.”

Daddy’s
Girls
“I ain’t gonna be
able to hold ’em
like this forever, so
you better believe
I snatch these
cookies and love ’em
up every moment
I can,” wrote
Johnson (with
Tiana and Jasmine
last December).
