Simone Johnson Confirms Relationship With NXT’s Tatyanna Dumas in New Instagram Reel
Simone Johnson is stepping into a new chapter and sharing it with the world. The daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted a reel on Instagram with NXT wrestler Tatyanna Dumas, confirming the relationship fans have been speculating about for months. The clip came from their joint account, Big Ups Official, and showed the two locked in and happy. Their caption said, “From day one.. to everything time can’t erase,” and it spoke to a bond that has been growing in plain sight and had supporters excited to finally see it acknowledged.
People who follow Simone’s journey noticed the connection earlier this year. The two attended the UK screening of The Rock’s film “The Smashing Machine” and moved through the event with an ease that had fans talking. She later shared a vlog from the night, and her father dropped a comment that made it clear he supported them. His note said, “Break out the Teremana ladies!” and carried his familiar mix of pride and personality, giving fans a peek into the family dynamic behind the scenes.
Simone has been building her own identity in WWE under the name Ava. Her role as General Manager of the NXT brand shows her commitment to creating a lane for herself in the business. She has spoken before about wanting to walk her own path. Dwayne shared that his daughter never asked him to make calls or open doors. He told the New Heights podcast hosts, “I never got the call like, ‘Hey, Dad, I want to do what you do. Can you call WWE? Can you call Vince McMahon? At that time, could you call Nick Khan? Could you call somebody?” He added, “Never once did she ask me, ‘Could you make that call?’ She was just like, ‘I want to do what you do. I want to blaze my own path.’”
Tatyanna Dumas is also establishing her own presence on screen. Her recent debut on WWE LFG introduced her to a wider audience, and the moment created another layer of interest in their relationship. With both women growing in their careers and choosing to share their connection publicly, fans now get to witness a new chapter in their personal and professional journeys.
