The Rock reveals he was hesitant to remarry because divorce did a number him

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was hesitant to tie the knot again after his 2007 split from ex-wife Dany Garcia.

“My divorce did a number on me,” the “Jumanji: The Next Level” actor said in an interview with WSJ Magazine. “I wasn’t fearful of getting married again, there was just some hesitancy. But Lauren [Hashian] was incredibly patient: ‘I love you, you love me, we have this amazing life together — no presh.'”
In August, Johnson, 47, revealed he secretly married longtime girlfriend Hashian in Hawaii. The couple, who are parents to daughters Jasmine, 3, and Tiana, 1, have been together for over a decade after meeting on the set of “The Game Plan” in 2006.

“Within 30 seconds, I thought, ‘Wow, this girl’s stunning,'” Johnson said of his first glance at Hashian, 35.

Though Hashian was also reeling from a breakup at the time, Johnson — who also shares daughter Simone, 18, with Garcia — credited fate for bringing them together.
“At the time, I was going through my breakup with Dany and she [Hashian] was just coming off a big breakup too,” Johnson explained. “Ironically, when you’re not looking for something, the power of the universe kind of takes over.”

Johnson started dating Hashian in 2007. His divorce from Garcia was finalized the following year.

CJN Tanko unveils panel to hear Atiku’s appeal against Buhari

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed is presiding over the 7-man panel that will hear the appeals filed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the February 23 poll. Other members of the panel are Bode Rhodes-Vivour, Amiru Sanusi, Uwani Abaji, Ejembi Eko, John Inyang Okoro and Olukayode Ariwoola. Atiku and his party are challenging the September 11 judgment of the Justice Mohammed Garba-led Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal which affirmed President Buhari’s victory at the polls. The appeals hearing has generated some controversies especially due to the silence of the Supreme Court on the justices that would constitute the panel, with the Coalition of United Progressives Party (CUPP) demanding the use of seniority in selecting them. A senior member of Atiku’s legal team, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), told reporters that they considered it strange that as at

Chechnya leader makes Mo Salah honorary citizen

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side. Rights groups and Western governments allege that authorities in Chechnya repress their political opponents, discriminate against women and persecute sexual minorities, all allegations that Chechnya’s leaders deny. Chechnya has been hosting the Egyptian team’s World Cup training camp and Kremlin-backed Kadyrov has seized on opportunities to appear alongside Salah. Sarah’s goalscoring exploits for Liverpool and Egypt have made him an international superstar. “Mohamed Salah is an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. “Yes, that’s right!
