Dwayne Johnson recently participated in The Hollywood Reporter ‘s Awards Chatter podcast, where the actor rarely shared about the shock of his divorce many years ago.
“Now, I can look back on that time with clarity and relief. But back then, everything was really hazy. When you get married, you think it will be a long-term journey, but things don’t always go smoothly. After that, I wondered how I would be a father,” he shared.

You are the glue that holds the whole family together, single-handedly managing all the big and small things in the house. A beautiful, inspirational, sweet and loving woman. I love you.”
