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.

Kenyan Law Court dismisses case of man seeking compensation after his wife eloped with another man from hospital

  A lawsuit filed by a man seeking to be compensated by St Mary's Mission Hospital in Kenya for allowing his wife to leave the hospital with another man after giving birth, has been struck out by a law court.    The appellant had sued the St. Mary's Mission hospital at Kakamega law courts in 2020 seeking general damages from the facility on grounds that the hospital had discharged his wife and allowed her to leave with another man. After delivering and at the time of discharge, the wife of the appellant claimed he was the baby's father.   The court of appeal judges Patrick Kiage, Mumbi Ngugi and Francis Tuiyott sitting at the Kisumu Court of Appeal, empathized with the man, but disagreed that he (the appellant) be compensated by the hospital for not detaining his wife.  They upheld the lower court's judgement which added that there's no remedy that lies in the law for such grievances.   Kiage said;   "I agree that if a man takes the woman he loves to t...

Togo prime Minister Komi Klassou resigns

Togo’s prime minister and his government have resigned, the West African nation’s presidency said late Friday. President Faure Gnassingbe congratulated prime minister Komi Selom Klassou and his team for their “economic, political and social efforts and the encouraging results despite the health crisis around the world”, a statement on the presidency’s official website said. Togo has been due for a political reshuffle since Gnassingbe was reelected in February for a fourth term in office, but changes were delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The president’s election win, which came after a constitutional change allowing him to run, extended more than a half-century of dynastic rule over the former French colony by the Gnassingbe family. The victory was disputed by the main opposition challenger, who has faced official harassment in the wake of the vote. The president has led the country of eight million people since taking over in 2005 following the death of his father Gnass...
