Dustin Johnson, a prominent figure in the LIV Golf league and one of the sport's most accomplished players, has long praised his wife for being the glue that holds their family together, especially during the intense travel and time commitments professional golf demands. In an earlier interview with People, he shared, "She's such a big supporter of mine... with golf or any professional athlete, or even a business, you got to have somebody to support you." He added, "She does a great job taking care of everything else, so all I got to do is worry about golf." Gretzky, who comes from sports royalty as the daughter of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky , understands the spotlight. But she's also been open about the challenges of growing up in the public eye. "I never got to be a kid," she said on The Netchicks podcast. "Not to say I am missing out on things — I had the best life ever — but it's hard to always have to censor myself." Today, her focus is firmly on her family. She and Johnson are raising their two sons, Tatum and River, with a shared commitment to balance fame and family life. As Johnson told Golfweek, "For me, golf was always the most important thing. And now, it's Paulina and the kids... they'll always be the most important."
