Dwayne Johnson's cherished daughter, Simone Johnson, has made her love for Tatyanna Dumas official on Instagram! The 24-year-old eldest offspring of the Moana star boldly shared her affection for Dumas, a fellow WWE wrestler and NXT brand representative, on social media on Sunday, December 7th. Dumas, 26, initially posted an Instagram Reel showcasing their travel vlogs and dining experiences together, with the caption "Fall in love, again and again," as the adoring couple indulged in several smooches and hugs.
Reposting Dumas' reel on her page, Simone added her own sentiment: "Crying, screaming, throwing up," she wrote. "I am so lucky." While the exact date of their relationship's inception remains a mystery, their Instagram Reel hints at a long-standing bond.
Simone and Dumas debuted together on the red carpet in September alongside Dwayne Johnson during the premiere of his latest film, The Smashing Machine. The trio posed for photos, with Dwayne sporting a beaming smile as he stood beside his daughter and her girlfriend.
Last month, Simone also slipped a photo of her and Dumas into a holiday Instagram post, showing the two attending a University of Virginia football game together. "Thankful," read Simone's post, including the image of the couple embracing each other.
Both Simone and Dumas are regulars on WWE's NXT program, featuring up-and-coming professional wrestlers who have yet to make their debut on the company's main Monday Night RAW or SmackDown weekly programs. Simone, who has long expressed her desire to follow in her father's footsteps in the WWE, first began training to become a pro wrestler in February 2020 when the company announced her joining its developmental program. The daughter of Dwayne and his ex-wife and current business partner Dany Garcia, Simone debuted as "Ava Raine" on NXT two years later and has since transitioned into performing as the show's on-screen "general manager," with her character fictitiously deciding which matches take place on each show.
Dumas, a former Australian professional basketball player who also competed on athletic shows like Australia's Gladiator and Ninja Warrior programs, first joined WWE in early 2025. Dwayne has previously expressed his "proud" sentiment about his daughter's interest in carrying on their family's pro wrestling tradition. Simone is WWE's first-ever fourth generation superstar, following in the footsteps of her dad and grandfather, Peter Maivia, as well as her father Rocky Johnson, both of whom performed in WWE during their own wrestling careers. "Firstly, what an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps," Dwayne told Jimmy Fallon during a May 2020 interview on The Tonight Show. "But more importantly, following in my footsteps sounds cliché—she actually wants to create and blaze her own path, which is so important," he added. "I'm very proud of her."
