"The Rock" has delighted his fans again by sharing another sweet moment with his three-year-old daughter Tia. On Saturday, April 2, Dwayne Johnson uploaded a video of himself singing along to country singer-songwriter Dale Watson's "Daughter's Wedding Song" with the youngest of his three daughters.
Tia, who is known for requesting tunes from the Disney hit Moana, which starred her dad, apparently has a soft spot for Watson's sentimental song. According to Yahoo!, the 49-year-old Johnson told his Instagram followers that he does not know how this became his daughter's favorite song. "The Rock" also shared with his fans that she heard the song on his phone once.
Johnson and Tia proceeded to sing the song, which is told from the point of view of a father on the wedding day of his daughter. Johnson, who is also a father to 20-year-old Simone, from his previous marriage to Dany Garcia, and 6-year-old Jasmine, whom he shares with wife Lauren Hashian, wrote: "A song all you #GirlDads out there will appreciate, about a father having to give his daughter away on her wedding day."
Johnson tells daughter not to grow up too fast
Johnson became emotional as he participated in the daddy-daughter duet, concluding his video by telling Tia, "Don't grow up too fast. Don't get married too soon." "The Rock" expounded on this message in his caption, writing that he will one day proudly give Tia away to whoever she decides to marry. Johnson added that his only wish is for that person to be a kind, loving, good quality human being.
Johnson had an interview with Fatherly last fall with the Hollywood star talking about the kind of father he strives to be. He said his main intention is to be a good dad and be there for his daughters, especially his younger daughters. Johnson said that means taking his children to school every morning, picking them up and taking them to soccer, being that kind of dad.
Johnson became sentimental at the thought of his daughter growing up in the future, writing in his Instagram post, "one day down the road, hanging out and singing with Daddy won't be cool anymore, so I'll embrace these moments while I can get 'em."
The Rock admits he has evolved as a dad
Johnson added, "With our babies, life moves fast. We gotta live it with all we got." Among those who commented on Johnson's sweet Instagram post was Watson himself, with the singer writing, "Very, very honored."
Last month, the former wrestler revealed in an interview that he has evolved as a father, saying that he has different energy now that he is a 40-something parent with two little girls.
Johnson told E! that when you're in your 20s, you're still a baby, still a kid. He added that when you're in your 30s, you're still trying to figure stuff out, and if you get lucky, maybe you'll figure stuff out in your 40s.
