In a recent podcast, the actor shared about the shock of his divorce from Dany Garcia in 2007. It took Dwayne Johnson a long time to overcome his marital crisis.

Dwayne Johnson recently participated in The Hollywood Reporter ‘s Awards Chatter podcast, where the actor rarely shared about the shock of his divorce many years ago.

“Now, I can look back on that time with clarity and relief. But back then, everything was really hazy. When you get married, you think it will be a long-term journey, but things don’t always go smoothly. After that, I wondered how I would be a father,” he shared.

The shock of divorce made the actor depressed. It took him a long time to overcome the marital crisis. Dwayne Johnson also accepted light-hearted family projects with happy endings during this period. He said that made him feel healed and comfortable.

Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia got married in 1997 after many years together. They have a daughter, Simone Alexandra. In 2007, the couple went their separate ways.

Sharing about his life partner, The Rock said: “She is a well-oiled machine, the most wonderful woman in the world I have ever met. To you, the only woman in my life, the most beautiful words. You are the glue that holds the whole family together, single-handedly managing all the big and small things in the house. A beautiful, inspirational, sweet and loving woman. I love you.”
