Dwayne Johnson’s daughter Simone confirms relationship with pro wrestler Tatyanna Dumas
The pair confirmed their romance on Instagram over the weekend
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson’s daughter Simone has just confirmed her relationship with pro-wrestler Tatyanna Dumas.
Simone, the oldest daughter of the 53-year-old Moana actor, went public with the romance over the weekend on Sunday (7 December).
Tatyanna, 26, originally posted an Instagram Reel showing a sweet montage of videos of herself and 24-year-old Simone travelling and enjoying nice meals together.
"Fall in love, again and again," the reel was captioned, showing the happy couple cosy up and kiss.

Simone reshared the reel on her own Instagram account, adding as a caption: "Crying screaming throwing up." She added: "I am so lucky."
Now, while it's not exactly clear when the pair first started going out, the montage clip does seem to show they've been with each other for quite some time.
Earlier this year, in September, Simone and Tatyanna - who are both regular occurrences on WWE’s NXT programme - stepped out onto the red carpet together for the very first time, alongside Dwayne during the premiere of his latest film, The Smashing Machine.
For the film, the Hollywood A-lister went through a serious transformation in order to play MMA fighter and UFC pioneer Mark Kerr, a two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion, World Vale Tudo Championship tournament winner, and a Pride FC competitor.
To look more like Kerr, Johnson wore facial prosthetics, and he also reportedly lost around 60 pounds to bring his weight closer to 240 lbs than his usual 300 lbs.
"I’m at a point in my career where I want to push myself in ways that I’ve not pushed myself in the past. I’m at a point in my career where I want to make films that matter, that explore humanity and explore struggle [and] pain," he previously said.
Speaking of the film's director, Dwayne added: "Benny [Safdie] wants to create, and continues to push the envelope when it comes to stories that are raw and real, characters that are authentic and at times uncomfortable and arresting."
Simone is the daughter of Dwayne and his ex-wife and current business partner, Dany Garcia.
She has three half-siblings: Jasmine Lia (born 2015) and Tiana Gia (born 2018, with wife Lauren Hashian).
She's clearly following in the family's wrestling footsteps as a fourth-generation WWE star, with Dwayne previously opening up about how 'proud' he is that his daughter has an interest in carrying on their family’s pro wrestling tradition.
"First of all, what an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps but more importantly, follow in my footsteps sounds cliché, but she actually wants to create and blaze her own path, which is so important," Dwayne told Jimmy Fallon during a May 2020 interview on The Tonight Show, adding: "I'm very very proud of her."
