Dustin Johnson received a warning from his father-in-law
Johnson has made ample records in his professional career on the PGA Tour. He recently joined the LIV Golf league leaving behind his PGA Tour legacy. However, there was a time when Johnson used to celebrate each of his victories lavishly. Pictures of him partying with his friends circulated on social media numerous times. But to his surprise, his father-in-law, Wayne Gretzky, was not okay with his acts.
After his engagement with Paulina Gretzky, Johnson cautioned the golfer that he might call off the wedding if he didn’t stop with his wild parties. However, it was later understood that Johnson’s family was aware of his partying habits, and Wayne was trying to offer a helping hand to the golfer.
Johnson and Paulina had been dating since 2012 and got engaged in August 2013. However, their marriage was postponed due to the golfer’s busy schedule. But the two recently said their vows in April 2022 and Paulina shared some beautiful pictures from their wedding on social media. Paulina’s dad, who earlier warned the golfer, was very happy about the marriage. He said, “This has just been the most incredible three days that I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of fun,”.
