Johnson and Gretzky are golf’s most sensible celebrity couple. The daughter of “The Great One” and the global No. 1 have been engaged since 2015 and have been part of our PGA Tour Sunday ritual for much longer.
The two met in 2009, when Dustin came here for a circle dinner of relatives after being paired with Paulina’s mother (and Wayne’s wife), Janet, on a show. As Golf’s Alan Shipnuck first reported, they did not make their first date until 2012, although it would possibly even be a first date. The couple welcomed a third wheel of wonders for their first romantic adventure.
“I don’t know if you can call it a date since my father followed it, ” said Paulina.
“That’s how it’s happening in our family,” Wayne said. “Janet and I fainted for lunch and ended up with seven or eight other people at the table. Everyone’s invited. “
While Wayne stopped following, the couple became stagnant. In 2015 and 2017, they welcomed two children, Tatum and River.
Now, the family circle is a welcome addition to the Gretzky-Johnson relationship, as he travels with DJs for many of his events.
“What am I going to do?” Johnson pitched after seating a 54-hole lead in Augusta on Saturday night. “Well, when I get home, I’ll play with my kids. They’re here, they spend time with Paulina. A circle of relatives is here. I’m just going to have dinner and spend some time at home.
