In hockey history, there have been lots of players that have gone on to be considered legendary. Despite that, there is no denying that Wayne Gretzky has long been considered to be a level above his peers which is why he was nicknamed "The Great One".For proof of how famous Wayne was at the height of his hockey career, all you have to do is keep in mind that Saturday Night Live took a big risk by having him host the show. On top of that, the cartoon ProStars starred a fictionalized version of Wayne.Since Wayne is such a legendary athlete, lots of people care deeply about his opinion even now that it has been years since he played. To this day, there is a lot of interest in which hockey players Wayne has mentored and which ones he dislikes.Amazingly enough, Wayne is such a big deal that his daughter Paulina became famous enough to launch a short-lived acting career just because of who her father is. Furthermore, when Paulina got married in 2022, some fans wondered how Wayne felt about her new husband.
Inside Paulina Gretzky And Dustin Johnson's Relationship
After it was reported that Paulina Gretzky and Dustin Johnson began dating in early 2013, the couple got engaged only months later in August of 2013.
Once Dustin and Paulina got engaged, some observers expected them to walk down the aisle not long after. Instead, it seemed like the couple was happy to be in a committed relationship without tying the knot for several years.
Roughly a year and a half after they got engaged, Paulina and Dustin welcomed their first son into the world. From there, their second son was born roughly two and a half years later.
In the years that followed Dustin and Paulina becoming parents of two, rumors about their relationship became common. Based on those rumors, the couple always seemed to be on the cusp of splitting up.
Despite those rumors, Paulina and Dustin have stayed together to this day.
What Is Wayne Gretzky's Opinion Of His Son-In-Law Dustin Johnson?
Almost a decade after Paulina Gretzky and Dustin Johnson got engaged, they finally walked down the aisle on April 23, 2022, in Tennessee.
Just like a lot of other brides and grooms, shortly after Paulina and Dustin's big day, she posted footage of her wedding on social media. Thanks to that post, it became clear that Paulina's father Wayne Gretzky supported her marriage on some level.
As Paulina's Instagram video showed, Wayne Gretzky walked her down the aisle and spoke at her reception as well.
If Wayne Gretzky was completely against Paulina marrying Dustin, he may not have played such a major role in their wedding day. On the other hand, lots of parents would put aside their own emotions to be there for their child on their big day.
Thanks to social media, Paulina and other celebrities like her can interact directly with their fans. Shortly after Paulina and Dustin Johnson's wedding day, she gave her followers the chance to ask her anything.
At some point in Paulina's question and answer session, one of her followers asked a question about her husband and father. "What did your dad think of DJ after he first met him"
Judging by Paulina's response to that question, her father Wayne was a big supporter of her relationship with Dustin from the start. "He told me I should marry him..."
On several other occasions, Wayne has been asked about Dustin. In 2014, Wayne was asked about what it is like to have a pro golfer in the family. After joking around about that, Wayne called Dustin "a wonderful young man".
In 2021, Wayne spoke to Golfweek about his relationship with Dustin. After clarifying that he doesn't give Dustin athletic advice the way some observers may assume, Wayne revealed the tight bond he shares with the famous golf star.
“People think I give him advice all the time. I don’t. I’m more like a grandfather, a father-in-law, a big brother. We just talk about the family, the kids, scheduling, TV shows, sports, just things most people talk about. We're friends."
“From the beginning, I always thought he was a wonderful young man,” "He never gets flustered, very easygoing, extremely polite, and very considerate. He was a joy to be around right from Day 1.”
