This 1995 Kids Movie is Getting a Sequel, and It's Star Just Celebrating His Daughter's Birthday In the Sweetest Way
Jumanji: Open World is set to open in December 2026, and The Rock recently debuted the latest installment of the mega-popular franchise at CinemaCon over the weekend. But that doesn't mean the action star was too busy for another sort of celebration.
It's hard to believe that a mountain of a man with biceps bigger than tree trunks is the type of guy who would belt out "Happy Birthday" at a child's party. ButDwayne Johnson(a.k.a. The Rock) is one dude who's also a doting dad. And we're here for it!
Who are The Rock's children?
Johnson is a ‘girl da' to three children. His eldest daughter, Simone Alexandra Johnson (whom he shares with ex-wife Dany Garcia), was born in 2001. The celeb's younger daughters, 10-year-old Jasmine Lia Johnson and eight-year-old Tiana Gia Johnson, are from his second (and current) marriage to Lauren Hashian.
Which of The Rock's daughters just had a birthday?
The Jumanji star's youngest child, daughter Tiana, just celebrated her eighth birthday on April 17, 2026. Johnson posted an absolutely aww-dorable Instagram clip of the celebration with the caption, "Happy Birthday Tia. 8 summers old and our anchor of pure love, joy, crazy humor, and always down to put in the work, and step outta the box! We love U baby girl." He ended the post with, "Pinky's Up"-a reference to the Katsweye birthday party theme.
Fans can watch the proud dad carry the cake out to his daughter, singing "Happy Birthday" along with his wife (Tiana's mom, Lauren Hashian) and a few of the little girl's friends. And judging by the muscly arms he's showing off in a body-baring tank top, we're pretty sure The Rock won't drop the frosting-covered confection.
So, what kind of cake did the newly turned eight-year-old have? Even though The Rock stars in multi-million dollar film franchises like Jumanji, The Fast and the Furious, and The Mummy (Scorpion King), he isn't one of those Hollywood dads who hires the top chef from a bespoke bakery to create an over-the-top party cake for his kiddo. Instead, it looks like he helped the family bake their own.
The Rock also posted a quick kitchen clip of the family's countertop covered in frosting containers and a homemade Katseye-themed cake. Of course, Johnson can't take all the credit. He pans the camera down to show 10-year-old daughter Jasmine decorating the cake, giving it his seal of approval…the iconic ‘chef's kiss.'
