Kylie Minogue’s Tragic Fate in San Andreas, and How Dwayne Johnson Tried to Prevent It

Though Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia got divorced in 2008, they still share a solid bond with each other.

Usually, people try to keep their distance from their ex-spouses because of various reasons, but both the stars handled their divorce maturely and are active business partners.

Today, both entities not only share a 21-year-old daughter, Simone Johnson, but also a whole business empire.

Garcia manages and oversees many of The Rock’s multi-billion dollar brands like ZOA Energy, Teremana Tequila, XFL…

Both the stars have known each other for nearly three decades and had an amazing journey as parents and business partners.

But how did the story start? In an interview, the 54-year-old businesswoman once detailed how she first met her ex-husband and how they started seeing each other.

In an interview with CNBC in March 2022, Garcia revealed her first conversation with ‘DJ’. She began by stating that she was a senior, while he was a freshman at the University of Miami when they first saw each other.

The place was a “weight room” where the The Rock was recovering from an injury playing football.

She said, “At a bar where all athletes would go, I walked up to him, extended my hand, and said, ‘Hi, I’m Dany Garcia.’

He was like, “Hi, I’m Dwayne Johnson.” It was a like business meeting. We were both into strength training and bodybuilding, we liked the same music. We both wanted more, to do more.”

“He asked if I had a phone. I told him I did. He started to call me every day, after that,” she added.

She admitted being so impressed and intrigued by ‘The Great One’ that she couldn’t resist talking to him. She expressed how blown away she felt by his “it factor” and found him very magnetic.

Both stars went their separate ways almost 15 years ago.

But they still share a deep bond. And in all these years, they learned to respect each other and have grown close to each other by working out their differences as parents and business partners.

While speaking with Marie Claire once, Garcia revealed that, unlike many divorced couples, she and ‘The Brahma Bull’ never stopped talking.

They were wise enough to make the decision to go through their divorce together. They didn’t let the divorce take the best of them and destroy the respect they have for each other.

When they ceased their personal relations, they also started a new one, professionally. The same year they got divorced, the XFL Chairwoman also took up the manager’s role to handle Johnson’s career. And now, years later, she serves as the global strategic advisor to her ex-husband.

Certainly, ‘The People’s Champion’ has to thank his ex-wife for playing such a big role in pushing his business to greater heights.

In fact, as the XFL concluded, he wrote a big thank you note on Instagram expressing his gratitude towards her.
