One Allison Taylor quoted a Complex Pop Culture tweet that included this photo, and in her own tweet she vamped: 'Nurse: would you like to hold your new baby? @therock: hold on, let me take my shirt off.'

Dwayne has a 16-year-old daughter called Simone by his first wife Dany Garcia, whom he was married to from 1997 to 2007 and who is still his manager.

He has been in a relationship with Lauren since the year he and his wife divorced, and he and Lauren have a two-year-old daughter called Jasmine.
