While you may think of Wayne Gretzky's daughter, Paulina Gretzky, as a sexy model who often shows off her iconic style on Instagram, she's also a proud mom of two boys! For those who don't know, Paulina and the six-time World Golf Champion, Dustin Johnson, first got together in 2013, getting engaged only after a few months together. In Aug 2013, Johnson confirmed the engagement rumors with a tweet reading, '@PaulinaGretzky she said yes!!!' They then welcomed two sons named Tatum Gretzky Johnson, born on January 19, 2015, and River Jones Johnson, born on June 12, 2017. And in April 2022, they got married at the luxurious Blackberry Farm, just outside Nashville, per People; and have been happily together since.
And since then, they've mostly kept their kids out of the spotlight, making sure they get the best of both worlds. But over the years, Paulina has given rare glimpses into life as a boy mom. Whether it be showing how she does their lavish birthday parties or how they already love to golf, she's willing to show the sweet moments. Along with that, she's revealed quite a few things about being a mom! Below, see everything Paulina has said about being a boy mom:

'Pregnancy was tough and I'm not going to lie, adjusting to my new body, it took a toll,' she told KIND Magazine in 2023 about her two pregnancies. 'But then I realised I had to pull myself out of this for my children. But then I realised again, that that wasn't quite right either—I had to pull myself out of it for my relationship with Dustin. I had to pull myself out of it for me.'
'The example I set for my kids with Dustin is we have to do it together. We're not always on the same page, but we trust each other enough so that I know he's doing right by our children and he knows I'm doing right by our kids—we talk about it, but at the fundamental level is trust,' she said to Kind Magazine.
'It's just unbelievable. Dustin's the best dad, he's my best friend. He's been so supportive with me and we're just there for each other,' Gretzky said to ABC News about how grateful she is to have her husband and the father of her children is her best friend.
In a dual interview with her mom for Palm Beach Illustrated, it was said that her sons call their grandparents Honey and Papa, and that they often pick them up from school.
While she wasn't the one to reveal this, we're still counting it! Her husband Johnson told the Daily Mail that Paulina chose River's name. He said, 'I don't know where she got it. I tried to ask. She said, 'I don't know, I just like the name.''
Despite having a famous dad and a famous husband, it's the usual for Paulina; and her two sons. 'His patience is fantastic. No ego, and it was funny seeing the kids realise who their dad is, and who my dad is, but we don't want them to be raised differently. Of course we want them to know that they're special, everyone is. But around the house, my dad is grandpa and Dustin is dad,' she said to KIND.
So, Gretzky says that she's not only open to having more kids, but she'd love to have a baby girl!On the Netchicks podcast, she said: 'I want to have one more. But like my dilemma is, whatever happens, happens. I would love a girl! But I want to enjoy being 32, 33, and then hopefully, if I'm lucky enough, then I get to have one more at 34.'
