Dwayne The Rock Johnson and his partner of eight years, Lauren Hashian, welcomed their first child together, a daughter, last week. The couple made the birth announcement on Instagram with a joint post. Johnson recently posted the first photo above of his baby daughter laying on his chest and revealed that her name is Jasmine. He wrote a long captain in which he described his awe at being present during the birth, and also said that he’s going to try and be a better person. Johnson has another daughter, 14 year-old Simone, with his ex wife, Dany Garcia. I wonder if Simone is going to babysit once little Jasmine is old enough to have a sitter. Here’s what Johnson wrote on Instagram:
14h
therockChristmas came early! Within minutes of being born she was laying on daddy’s chest. And being a grateful man takes on a whole new meaning… Thank you guys so much for the awesome congratulatory wishes and love you’ve been sending @laurenhashianofficial and myself. We’re extremely grateful. Kinda crazy but in this cool and powerful skin to skin bonding moment with my newborn baby Jasmine, I had just one wish I asked the universe… Give me the strength to be a better man today than I was yesterday. If I can accomplish that, then I’d have a good shot at being a great father. To all you young men out there who will be fathers one day, the goal of “being better” will never steer you wrong. Trust me I’ve been down this road. Something else that’ll never steer you wrong is “walking thru the fire” with your baby’s mama. I was right there during labor, helping her breathe, every highly intense contraction, every second of pain, right there watching the actual birth, cutting the cord and wiping the tears. Incredible. *(Now don’t get me wrong boys, it wasn’t like I was at the end of the table, squatting like a catcher waiting for the fastball to come down the pike..π but as men, it’s a miracle we should witness because it’ll give you a whole new respect for the strength and beauty of a woman). Again, THANK YOU guys so much for all the love during this blessed time. I always say I’m a lucky dude because I’ve got the greatest fans in the world – and it’s true. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your families from ours. #ChristmasCameEarlyToSayHello #WhileSleepOfficiallySaysGoodbye #2xProudPapaSilverback #SheCanDateWhenShes40
That baby looks SO tiny, and I can’t figure out if she’s an especially small baby or if any baby would look small on The Rock’s chest. The guy has a big head too, I’m just saying. She’s adorable and I like the name Jasmine. It’s a little too “Disney,” but at least it’s not bizarre or potentially stigmatizing and they don’t use creative spelling. It’s cute how much Johnson gushes about being there for his daughter’s birth.
Here’s the original birth announcement. You can tell how excited they are and they didn’t even use “over the moon” once!
Ooh and The Rock also shared this super cute photo of his Halloween! He was Popeye and I think his French Bulldog, Hobbs, was an octopus. Just wait until next Halloween, when you have a kid that’s when Halloween ramps up. Plus these two will get to have the first Christmas with their new baby! That’s going to be really special and memorable for them.
This is a repost on The Rock’s IG and it may have come out a year or so ago but I loved this story so much. He sounds so thrilled that these little girls waited for him and that he could make their day. What a great guy he is and now he’s a dad for the second time.
Congrats !
He makes me smile
Same with me… He makes me smile. π
His insta posts always make my day. He truly is grateful for everything and has a sense of humor about it all and most importantly, himself. A lot of actors/famous people tend to start taking themselves too seriously after awhile but he remembers everything he went through to get to where he is today.
Same here, I love his IG posts. He really seems like a genuinely nice man, and his captions are often really freaking funny too.
Congrats to the family!
Yes I agree!
The Rock has always been an gracious and grateful man. Maybe he should give Tom Hardy lessons on enjoying the moment and point out who buys tickets..douches fade away but men like the Rock live through the ages..
Congrats big guy on your second baby girl.
Is this guy for real?!?! Oh my god. Seriously. Congrats to them on their healthy beautiful daughter. And HOBBS!!!!!!!!!! Yes, Jasmine is a little angel, and those three girls are little angels too. But The Rock is a giant, muscly angel and if he’s even 10 % genuine , he has restored my hopes for the male species. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I need some coffee or new eyeglasses.I thought he had on a shirt.I didn’t realize that was a tattoo.
Sometimes I cannot believe there are people out there who have such massive hearts. Congrats to him and Lauren!!!
Baby looks perfect! Healthy newborn.
My first thought was any baby would look tiny next to him. He’s one of my favorites – along with ll cool j.
His dog’s expression in that photo is everything. He has no f@cks to give, not a one. π
He is sort of my forever youknowwhat.
Mine too, everyone needs a rock π
Mine too. π
me too! my ovaries ache just looking at that big hunk of man, and he’s not even my type- however he just seems such a lovely sweet guy, you know he’d be well into looking after his woman π DOWN GIRL!!!
I love the Rock!!!!!!
The Rock – stop making me love you!!!
Tiny baby, so sweet!
There are no words. He’s my favorite man in the universe. Sighhhhhhhhhh.
Jasmine is a very popular name in certain parts of the world, I have like 3 (pretty distant) cousins named Jasmine. So the Disney connection is not the first I would think, not that its bad to name your child after a Disney princess. At least I hope so since I thought of naming my child Elsa when I was 10 and if I will have children I am planning still on using it despite it becoming so popular.
Good to know he named his baby after me.
The Rock is just so awesome in so many ways!
I just have to find out how to hook my son up with jasmine in like 25 years from now!
Love the Rock! Congrats on their new family addition.
I know he’s not perfect and has done less than great things in the past, but he really does seem like he’s trying his best to be a good person and to be grateful for what he has. I can’t help but like him.
My husband and whole family wanted to name my daughter Jasmine. Coincidentally, my husband is the same age as the Rock and has a teenager with the first wife. I am Indian and my husband is Scottish Irish. She came out with his fair colouring so we went with my fave, Madelyn. It suits her π
