Lauren Hashian isn’t adding to her family with Dwayne Johnson—despite what a wave of viral posts tried to suggest. Hashian publicly debunked rumors that she had secretly welcomed another baby after AI-generated images of the couple began circulating online.

According to People, Hashian addressed the claims directly on Instagram Stories, reposting screenshots of fake articles and manipulated images that showed her and Johnson holding infants. She made it clear the reports weren’t real, writing, “Because I thought we’d all enjoy a good Sunday laugh…”

In another post reacting to an AI image, she added, “Apparently I had a new baby in Miami!” before doubling down on the joke when a second image surfaced: “Make that TWO! I had TWO BABIES!! 😂.”

In reality, the couple’s family hasn’t changed. Hashian and Johnson share two daughters, Jasmine and Tiana, while Johnson is also the father to Simone from his previous marriage to Dany Garcia.

Simone, who went by the name Ava Raine during her short stint in WWE’s NXT promotion, also frequently makes headlines of her own for her personal life.

Hashian and Johnson have been together for nearly two decades, first meeting in 2006 before marrying in 2019.

Family life has been a consistent throughline in Johnson’s public image. While The Rock is known for blockbuster films and his WWE legacy, his social feeds regularly highlight his role as a father.

Earlier this year, he shared a Valentine’s Day clip showing a breakfast with his daughters, featuring a stack of sweet potato pancakes and a heavy pour of syrup, captioned with his now-familiar phrase about “Girl Daddy’ing hard.”

The couple has also shared more personal milestones in the past. In one widely viewed post, Johnson described holding his daughters while Hashian performed the National Anthem at SoFi Stadium as “one of the greatest and most moving moments of my life.”
