The Rock Is Extremely Proud of His Daughter

Everyone who knows Dwayne Johnson knows that he is all about being a family man. He has three daughters: Simone, Jasmine, and Tiana. While he shares Jasmine and Tiana with wife Lauren Hashian, Simone is the daughter of Johnson and his ex-wife, Dany Garcia.

Born on August 14, 2001, the now 24-year-old went on to follow her father’s footsteps, becoming a fourth-generation wrestler. Outside the ring, Simone/Ava made history by becoming the youngest-ever General Manager of WWE’s NXT. Ava is carving her own path in the industry, and her father couldn’t be prouder of her.

Talking to MTV UK about Ava’s journey so far, Johnson could be seen getting a little emotional as he stated,

I am so proud of her, because it’s what I did, and I love what I did, I love wrestling, I grew up in wrestling. She was born into it too just like I was, and when she said, ‘Hey I wanna do what you do’ – but the difference is, it’s why I get emotional, because she’s like, ‘I wanna do what you do, but I wanna carve my own path.’ That’s the difference.

He went on to add that Ava never called him asking for a favor, using him as a stepping stone to the WWE. In Johnson’s words, “I never got that call. Like, ‘Hey, can you call someone, could you…’ I never got that call. And that’s the truth.” All in all, the wrestler-turned-actor is extremely proud of the “amazing human being” he helped raise with Garcia.
