Years After Getting Engaged With Star Golfer Dustin Johnson, Wayne Gretzky’s Daughter’s Big Day Finally Arrived Earlier This Year: “He Told Me I Should Marry Him”

Wayne Gretzky is undeniably one of the greatest ice-hockey players in the world. He was given nicknames such as The Great One and The Great Gretzky. Indeed, this is enough to reflect his dominance in the sport during his playing span. Gretzky was extremely devoted to the sport. On the other hand, he was similarly devoted to his family.

Wayne was always a family man, just like his father, who taught him the lessons of life. Notably, the Rangers legend married Janet Jones, a Hollywood actress in 1988, and birthed five children together. Their eldest kid, Paulina Gretzky, had also acted in a few movies. Other than that, she had been in the limelight for her relationship with a pro golfer for almost a decade now.

Wayne Gretzky told Paulina the same a long ago:

When talking about Gretzky’s daughter, Paulina is a model and actress. Earlier this year in April, Paulina Gretzky married Dustin Johnson. Notably, Dustin is a professional American golfer, with two major titles against his name. However, the path of their marriage wasn’t a short one. They started dating almost a decade ago in 2013 when the rumors began to spread.

Moreover, around one and a half years after the news of their dating, they had their first child, River Jones Johnson. Whereas, after two and a half years after the first child, they had their second child, Tatum Gretzky Johnson. And nearly a decade later, after they began dating, they finally tied the knot on 23rd April 2022.

However, there was a rumor before the marriage that Wayne did not support the couple. But everything got clear when he walked her to the aisle. During a Q&A session, a fan asked Paulina, “What did your dad think of DJ after he first met him” To which Paulina replied, “He told me I should marry him…”
