Perhaps the strangest thing about Dwayne Johnson's romance with Lauren Hashian is his relationship with his ex - but really, it's the very best kind of strange.
According to Newsweek, Johnson met his first wife, Dany Garcia during their studies at the University of Miami, where the athlete-turned-actor had a football scholarship. The pair got married in 1997 and had a daughter, Simone. They split up a decade later.
The same year the divorce was finalized, Johnson asked Garcia to manage his acting career. He had just endured a series of roles in average-performing movies and was sick of having to lose weight in order to fit into Hollywood's mold of what an actor should look like. In 2017, Garcia told Marie Claire:
"We knew that we were moving into that period of our lives, the closing of a personal relationship. I was already deeply involved with his agents, I was already commenting on scripts. It was a very natural conversation, where he just said to me, 'I would love for you to do this full-time.'"
Garcia helped Johnson build an empire. According to Forbes, The Rock earned $124 million in 2018 - the most that any actor has earned since the magazine began its Celebrity 100 list two decades ago. We love to see amicable exes killing it in showbiz! As Garcia told Good Morning America in 2019:
