Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a global superstar thanks to his success as a wrestler, actor, and businessman. But beyond the ring and big-budget films, his greatest role is being a devoted father to his three daughters — Simone, Jasmine, and Tiana. He’s often spoken about how important being there for his girls is, telling People in 2021, “There’s nothing like the relationship between a father and his daughter. The most important thing I’ve learned about raising daughters is just … be there, how important that is.”
His eldest daughter, Simone (known in WWE as Ava Raine), made her televised debut on NXT on October 25, 2022, and has since grown her presence in WWE. Meanwhile, The Rock often shares sweet moments with his younger daughters, Jasmine and Tiana, whether it’s playful makeup sessions at home or cheering him on at major events. In 2024, all three of his daughters supported him when he reprised his role as Maui in Moana 2.

Simone, born August 14, 2001, is the daughter Dwayne shares with his first wife, Dany Garcia. The former couple were married from 1997 to 2008, and Simone is their only child together. Like her dad, Simone has pursued a career in the spotlight, starting as an IMG model and becoming the first-ever Golden Globe Ambassador at the 2018 awards show.
She later followed directly in The Rock’s footsteps, signing with WWE to become a fourth-generation wrestler in the Johnson family. After recovering from a knee injury in 2020, Simone made her televised debut on NXT on October 25, 2022, under the ring name Ava Raine, revealing herself as a member of wrestler Joe Gacy’s faction, Schism.
“It means the world to me,” Simone said in a 2020 statement after signing her WWE contract at just 18 years old. “To know that my family has such a personal connection to wrestling is really special to me and I feel grateful to have the opportunity, not only to wrestle, but to carry on that legacy.”
