How They Met and Their Early Relationship
The couple began dating in early 2013, quickly becoming one of the most recognizable pairs in sports. Johnson, who had already established himself as a top golfer before joining LIV Golf, is the eldest daughter of Wayne and Janet Gretzky. Their meeting was facilitated by Janet Gretzky, who became friends with Johnson during a golf pro-am event. Paulina later mentioned that she wasn't actively seeking a relationship, but their time together changed her perspective. Their first date took place at home, allowing them to connect in a relaxed setting, which laid the foundation for a lasting bond.
Engagement and Marriage
Johnson proposed to Paulina in August 2013, just months after they started dating. They remained engaged for nearly nine years, focusing on raising their family and accommodating Johnson's demanding golf schedule. The couple finally married on April 23, 2022, at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee. The intimate ceremony was attended by close friends and family, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.
Family Milestones
The couple welcomed their first son, Tatum Gretzky Johnson, in January 2015. Their second son, River Jones Johnson, was born in June 2017, expanding their growing family.
