You wouldn’t know it to look at him (allegedly, the former wrestler is a startling 6 feet 5 inches tall), but Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a big softy. After Johnson welcomed his second daughter with partner Lauren Hashian in April of 2018, a series of Instagram posts from the doting dad went viral pretty quickly.
A couple of videos in particular got the internet talking, and that’s because, quite frankly, people can’t handle the cuteness. As it turns out, Johnson developed something of a curious habit while relaxing at home with his baby girl, Tiana Gia: he started talking to her.
And Tiana started talking right back to her daddy. Well, sort of.
The dad of three is well versed in baby chatter. Johnson has a 17-year-old daughter with his ex-wife Dany Garcia named Simone Alexandra. Johnson and Simone’s mother separated in 2007 but remain amicable.
It seems the ex-wrestler-cum-Hollywood-star is fast becoming father to a brood of awesome ladies; however, as since coupling with current partner Lauren Hashian, he has welcomed two more beautiful daughters.
“Blessed and proud to bring another strong girl into this world,” the third-time dad wrote. “Tiana Gia Johnson came into this world like a force of nature and Mama @laurenhashianofficial labored and delivered like a true rockstar.”
“To my third and youngest daughter, Tiana Gia,” the besotted dad continued, lovingly, “you have my word. I’ll love, protect, guide and make ya laugh for the rest of my life.”
In the video, as Tiana giggles, gurgles, and gurns, her parents sustain a conversation next to her on the bed so that it sounds like the tiny tot is joining in. And if you thought that was as cute as it got, just wait for Johnson’s part two.
As he reads a list of his own exceptional qualities, baby Tiana gurgles her affirmations. It’s silly, it’s funny, and it’s absolutely irresistible!
Tiana looks up at her father with complete adoration, and the internet has been looking upon the sweet pair with the same doe-eyed expression ever since. The numbers speak for themselves; Johnson’s video has been viewed nearly 21 million times.
Do you think Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the coolest daddy in the world? After enjoying these videos, we certainly know one little lady who thinks so. We don’t dare to disagree with her!
