Ava Raine — legally known as Simone Garcia Johnson and the daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — appeared to confirm her relationship with fellow WWE performer Tatyanna Dumas through a video posted to her Instagram Stories on Sunday. In the clip, which has since expired, the two were seen spending time together during travel and leisure activities, with Ava captioning the post, “Crying screaming throwing up. I am so lucky.”
This public acknowledgment follows several earlier indications of their relationship. Both Ava and Tatyanna accompanied Dwayne Johnson at the London premiere of his biographical film The Smashing Machine, and social media posts from recent weeks have shown the two in close, affectionate settings. On November 30, Ava shared a post-holiday photo series that included an image displaying a warm, affectionate gesture toward Tatyanna. After the London trip, Dwayne Johnson reacted to one of their joint videos with a supportive comment.
Additional comments by Tatyanna on Ava’s prior posts — including one in September expressing enjoyment while accompanying Ava — also contributed to public speculation about their relationship before Ava’s recent confirmation.
Ava has been affiliated with WWE since 2020 and currently serves as an on-screen general manager for the NXT brand, which functions as WWE’s developmental program. Tatyanna is likewise part of the NXT system, though the circumstances of how the two met have not been formally disclosed.
Ava is Johnson’s daughter with his former spouse Dany Garcia, to whom he was married from 1997 to 2008. Despite their divorce, the two have maintained a professional and amicable relationship, with Garcia continuing to produce Johnson’s film projects. Johnson later married Lauren Hashian in 2019; they share two younger daughters, Jasmine and Tiana.#newsafro_
