The Rock shares a photo of himself holding his new baby

In one day, we got both a new royal baby and a new The Rock baby, it’s like blessings on blessings. And Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson didn’t just share the good news, he also posted the most adorable photo to announce the birth of his third daughter, and it’s making my ovaries twitch.

“Skin to skin,” he writes. “Our mana. Blessed and proud to bring another strong girl into this world.”

This is so sweet it almost hurts to look at.

This is his third daughter, and it’s not lost on the actor how lucky he is to be surrounded by so many lovely ladies. He gave huge props to partner Lauren Hashian for being a champ during the birth. “Tiana Gia Johnson came into this world like a force of nature and Mama @laurenhashianofficial labored and delivered like a true rockstar. I was raised and surrounded by strong, loving women all my life, but after participating in baby Tia’s delivery, it’s hard to express the new level of love, respect and admiration I have for @laurenhashianofficial and all mamas and women out there.”

He was also sure to share his fatherly wisdom with all the dudes out there. “Word to the wise gentlemen, it’s critical to be by your lady’s head when she’s delivering, being as supportive as you can.. holding hands, holding legs, whatever you can do,” he writes. “But, if you really want to understand the single most powerful and primal moment life will ever offer – watch your child being born. Its a life changer and the respect and admiration you have for a woman, will forever be boundless.”

Johnson signs off with a message for his new little girl. “And to my third and youngest daughter, Tiana Gia – like I did when your two older sisters Simone Alexandra and Jasmine Lia were born, you have my word, I’ll love, protect, guide and make ya laugh for the rest of my life.”

And then he made women everywhere melt into puddles, never to return to solid form again. “Your crazy dad has many responsibilities and wears many hats in this big ol’ world, but being your dad will always be the one I’m most proud to wear.”

UGH, too sweet. Congrats to the whole family and can’t wait to see more photos and hear more fun parenting stories from our fave celebrity dad.
