Simone, 18, is The Rock’s first born with ex-wife Dany Garcia. He has two more daughters — Jasmine and Tiana — with his current wife Lauren Hashian.

Their family has a history of wrestlers. The Rock’s grandfather Peter Maivia (The Rock’s mom father) and his father Rocky Johnson, who recently passed away, were both pro athletes who were eventually inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Now Simone is ready to carry on the family name. Congratulations, Simone!
