2Lauren and Dwayne met while he was still married to his college sweetheart
You do know that Johnson was married before and it was to his, now, producer and a very good friend Dany Garcia. Dany and Dwayne met at the University of Miami and were in marriage from 1997 to 2007, and they have a 16-year-old daughter, Simone. Dwayne and Lauren met in 2006 and back then he was still married to Garcia. As a result, a whole lot of rumors and speculations started to appear, and even Wrestling.com did an article on this titling it “Did The Rock Cheat On His Ex-Wife?, Now Dating A 24 Yr. Old.”
What is awesome about this entire situation is the fact that both Garcia and Johnson managed to put the past behind them and are very supportive of one another. As I already mentioned Garcia left her finance career behind to become Johnson’s manager. Now, what do you think about that?! She was even named as a woman who helped Johnson transition from being a known wrestler called “The Rock” to a very successful film career, and even “Newsweek” called her “The Woman Behind Hollywood’s Biggest Earner.”
On the other side, Lauren also holds no grudges and is appearing to be very supportive and proud of her stepdaughter Simone. When Simone signed a deal with a modeling agency, Lauren posted a photo of Simone on Instagram and wrote “Big news!!! So excited for you @simonegjohnson and all the things you’ll conquer… Including most likely the world one day! One of the most creative, funniest, wittiest young women I know, you’re so much more than just a beautiful face… Congratulations!!”
