Just four days after the birth of his new daughter, actor and WWE superstar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson revealed his baby girl's name and shared the first photo of his bundle of joy on Instagram. The "Fast and Furious" star posted a sweet shot of daddy-daughter bonding time and wrote a touching message in the caption.
"Christmas came early! Within minutes of being born she was laying on daddy's chest," the 43-year-old new dad wrote on Instagram, while thanking fans for their well wishes. "Kinda crazy but in this cool and powerful skin to skin bonding moment with my newborn baby Jasmine, I had just one wish I asked the universe... Give me the strength to be a better man today than I was yesterday. If I can accomplish that, then I'd have a good shot at being a great father."
In the photo, baby Jasmine is resting on her daddy's chest, wearing a little baby beanie on her head and covered with a blanket with Johnson looking down at her as she rests on his tattoo-covered chest.
Johnson's singer-songwriter girlfriend Lauren Hashian gave birth to baby Jasmine Dec. 16, as previously reported by HNGN. This is the couple's first child together, but Johnson shares a 14-year-old daughter, Simone, with his ex-wife Dany Garcia. Now that Johnson is a second-time dad, he shared some advice with young men who will become fathers in the future.
"The goal of 'being better' will never steer you wrong. Trust me I've been down this road," wrote Johnson. "Something else that'll never steer you wrong is 'walking thru the fire' with your baby's mama. I was right there during labor, helping her breathe, every highly intense contraction, every second of pain, right there watching the actual birth, cutting the cord and wiping the tears. Incredible."
