The Rock married Dany Garcia in 1997, and the couple got divorced in 2008. Despite their status as divorcees, Johnson and Garcia have had the most cordial of relationships. Garcia still works as Johnson’s business partner and manager. The duo even co-founded Seven Bucks Productions with Johnson, which produced several blockbusters like ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ and ‘Jungle Cruise’.
Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia – What happened?
Although the reason for the Rock’s first and only divorce is still not public, the couple handled the separation with maturity. As Garcia once told Marie Claire, “Some people go through separation and there’s no conversation, and it’s a dark time, and one person goes off, but that was never us. We went on this journey together.”
Johnson and Garcia have been solid business partners ever since he started playing football in Miami in the 1980s. While Johnson handled the creative and physical aspects of his career, Garcia was always in the background guiding him through the business. “I was always very comfortable speaking with his agents or his attorneys, any of the financial individuals, or even the studio executives,” revealed Garcia in an interview.
It is clear that Johnson has a lot of respect for Garcia. Through years of friendship and working together, Johnson and Garcia have formed the ultimate bond that transcends even problems like divorce. Johnson’s maturity in dealing with the divorce is a beautiful thing for fans to witness.
