After nearly two months of announcing a temporary separation to “focus on personal projects and mental health”, the relationship between The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) and his wife – Lauren Hashian – has become the focus of Hollywood media. But recently, the story continued to explode when Lauren suddenly announced that she was pregnant, causing a stir on social networks. Immediately, sources rushed to ask: “Whose baby is it?”, “Was there a betrayal during the separation?”.

The bigger shock came when the press revealed that the initial DNA test results did not match the expected time and did not match The Rock’s genes. This information spread like a storm, leading to countless hypotheses, negative comments, and even criticism aimed at Lauren.

However, what shocked all audiences was the “secret” behind this seemingly dramatic story. According to a source close to The Rock’s team, the entire pregnancy story – DNA – cheating suspicions… are just part of a collaboration project between the couple and a major sponsor. This is a months-long media project, aiming to convey the message of “don’t rush to judgment without knowing the full truth”.

A person in their PR team shared that the brand behind this project wanted to build an anti-misinformation campaign and wanted to use a real-life scenario – with real emotions, real pressure – to help the public understand the level of danger of spreading unverified information. The Rock and his wife were chosen because they are one of the powerful couples with a profound influence: friendly enough to be of public interest, but famous enough to create a global ripple effect.

Lauren Hashian was described as someone who accepted “temporarily sacrificing her personal image” for the project to achieve the highest efficiency. Letting the media misunderstand, the online community stir, and then “turning the card” to reveal the whole truth – that is the final stage of the marketing plan.

When everything was explained clearly, The Rock posted an official message:

“We want everyone to understand that just one wrong news can destroy a family’s life. Don’t rush to believe anything without enough information.”

Lauren also sent thanks to those who have believed and supported her throughout the past time.

In the end, the baby was completely unreal – it was just part of the script. And The Rock and his wife are still happy, continuing to accompany each other in this new project.

Despite the controversy, it cannot be denied that the campaign has achieved a huge media effect – exactly as the sponsor originally aimed for.
