Meet the Woman Who Got a Rock from Dwayne Johnson, Lauren Hashian
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson counts himself lucky to have found love following his divorce. “I was so fortunate to have fallen in love once,” the Hollywood star told PEOPLE in 2012. “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 b---h.” So, just who won the heart of the beloved actor?
Get to know Dwayne Johnson's talented wife Lauren Hashian.
Who is Dwayne Johnson's wife?
Johnson's second wife is Lauren Hashian. The actor's real-life leading lady is a singer with several singles on iTunes, including "Ride the Wave" and "Step Into a Love Like This." In a 2017 interview with Vydia, Hashian revealed that she started "singing consistently" when she was a kid in middle school and draws inspiration from her "family and friends," as well as "amazing voices and storytellers."
While her husband is in the spotlight, Hashian loves "keeping a low-key profile and holding onto privacy and normalcy." She explained, "Especially for [daughter] Jasmine, I don’t want to lose that. Since my man spends much of his life in front of a camera, I’m a little more reserved with stepping out and being 'out there' as much. It just gives us balance, and makes you appreciate privacy and a 'normal' life even more."

"Within 30 seconds, I thought, 'Wow, this girl’s stunning,'" the Black Adam actor said of Hashian in an interview with WSJ Magazine. “At the time, I was going through my breakup with Dany, and she was just coming off a big breakup too. Ironically, when you’re not looking for something, the power of the universe kind of takes over."

Prior to making things official, The Rock told Entertainment Tonight that he was in no rush to get married. "I just refer to her as my wife all the time. So a lot of people are like, 'Oh, did you get married?'" he said. "I'm like, 'No. Easy. Don't rush big daddy.'"
The actor had been hesitant to get married again following his divorce from Garcia. "My divorce did a number on me," Johnson confessed to WSJ Magazine. "I wasn’t fearful of getting married again, there was just some hesitancy. But Lauren was incredibly patient: 'I love you, you love me, we have this amazing life together—no presh.'"

Even the imperfections of life, the ups and the downs, make this all perfect somehow. Because you’re always aiming to grow, get better, gain wisdom from every situation, and genuinely learn from them. You never stop those things. You inspire me.
