Lauren was no stranger to the spotlight before she started dating Dwayne. She's the daughter of Boston drummer Sib Hashian, who passed away in 2017. She inherited a love of music from her dad, and she has worked as a singer-songwriter. She appeared on the reality TV show R U the Girl in 2005, where she competed to win a spot to sing some vocals in the girl group TLC after the tragic death of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes in 2002.
While Lauren didn't win the show, it did give her some exposure in her music career. She released several singles with Warner Music Group. She met Dwayne when he was filming the 2006 movie The Game Plan, and the pair began dating after he split from Dany. The couple announced that they were expecting their first child together in 2015, a daughter that they named Jasmine. They planned on a 2018 wedding until Lauren got pregnant with their second daughter together, Tiana.
After years of waiting for the right time, Lauren and Dwayne walked down the aisle on August 18. Dwayne posted a photo of the pair together on the beaches of Hawaii as his announcement of the nuptials. Lauren wore a mermaid gown with lace flowers on it, while the groom wore white pants and a white shirt.
Dwayne had talked about how he already thought of Lauren as his bride in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2018. "I just refer to her as my wife all the time," he said. "So a lot of people are like, 'Oh, did you get married?' I'm like: 'No. Easy. Don't rush big daddy.'" Well, the wait is over.
Dwayne Johnson has proved himself to be quite the family man over the years, beginning with his close relationship with ex-wife Dany Garcia and with his current love and wife Lauren.
