Try Not To Cry At The Rock's Sweet Instagram

by Jamie Primeau

There's no denying that Dwayne Johnson is known for his tough guy persona. After all, his nickname is quite literally "The Rock." But beneath that exterior, he's a big softie — at least according to his recent Instagram. On Saturday, The Rock wished his daughter Jasmine a happy four months and declared that she's his inspiration. In the sweet caption, he wrote:

I'm always asked - What inspires YOU?My answer's easy and honest.. what inspires me the most is always waitin' for me to walk thru my front door when I come home.Happy 4 month birthday Jasmine! One day you'll know just how happy, proud, lucky and blessed you, your sister and your mama make me. You'll also thank me one day for your toughness and your mama's everything else.

He added a wink face emoji at the end of that sentence, because of course, he wanted to give his girlfriend, Lauren Hashian, credit too. The hashtags #DaddysLilToughGirl and #GratefulMan were also thrown in. Is your heart a giant puddle of mush yet? Because mine certainly is — and you haven't even seen the picture yet. Here's Johnson posing with his adorable baby girl. She's got the biggest eyes, which go along perfectly with Rock's giant grin.

From a professional wrestler to an actor, he's taken on several roles over the course of his career. Yet none seem as important to him as his latest — being a dad. In addition to Jasmine, Johnson has a 14-year-old daughter Simone Alexandra with his ex-wife Dany Garcia. I've rounded up some sweet Jasmine moments that show just how seriously The Rock takes fatherhood and family:

Breaking The News

When the Furious 7 star first announced Hashian's pregnancy, he gave a shoutout to the strong women in his life. So sweet!

Dad's Biggest Fan

Just last week, Hashian shared this sweet photo of herself and their daughter watching Johnson in WrestleMania.

Valentine's Day

Last but not least, here's an adorable snapshot from Valentine's Day of Jasmine and their pup.

That 4-month-old is surrounded by two loving and proud parents, which is evident by a "tough" guy like The Rock getting super sentimental on Instagram.
