That is so great that they can get together. it's good to see their friendship didn't end with their marriage. And what a beauty Simone is. Looks just like her mom! And gosh, Rock is hot!

I love him! It's great when divorced people can get along and be civil for the sake of the child.

Completely agree with you "facingdawn". It's nice to see a couple not together anymore getting along.

I love that they are still friends and that their divorce went through peacefully and without fighting..they kept it really clean for their daughter..

I love when ex-spouses get along for the sake of their child(ren). I have friends who divorced this year after 17 years of marriage and are co-parenting their teenage daughter. Of course, it was rough at first, but after counseling they have a loving relationship with their child and a healthy friendship with each other. Yes, it can be done!! Attention Hollywood couples: take notice and learn from Dwayne and Dany!!!!!

It's great to see them together. Divorce is always sad to some extent, but they are giving their daughter a great gift by keeping it amicable.

Beautiful family. I agree that they are an example of how to you can remain friends even after divorce. Even though celebrity divorce announcements often include the words "we will remain the best of friends with the utmost respect for each other" we often see just the opposite. I'm sure it meant a lot to Dwayne and Simone that Dany was able to attend the ceremony.

If anyone read the People article, Dwayne stated at the award banquet that he wanted to thank his "Partner" Dany.

So they obviously for whatever reason still get along great.

Maybe there was a reason they got divorced, that we aren't aware of.

They all look great, and it's nice seeing another photo of Simone again. She does look a lot like Dany, especially her eyes and smile, but she definitely has Dwayne's nose lips and shape of eyebrows. She's a great mix of them.

And I think that's his mom Ata standing behind Dany.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Simone's dress. Gorgeous (Simone).

Dwayne Johnson & Dany Garcia are admirable people and understand completely what it means to be a parent. Kudos to them.

I've been a huge fan of The Rock since his wrestling days. So nice to see he and Dany are still friends, still can't believe they split. Simone is absolutely gorgeous (just like her parents)!

Posted by: Lindsay at Jun 21, 2008 5:22:55 AM

What a gorgeous looking family! Simone looks a lot older than 6.

Posted by: Natalie at Jun 21, 2008 5:54:20 PM

I totally relate--divorce is not always as "clean" as we wish. They are doing a great service to their little girl (and to themselves) by keeping the love and civility at the forefront. My parent divorced when I was 13. At 41, I am proud to say that we will all be "faux" celebrating my parents' 47th Anniverary on July 30th, and their repspective spouses are totally supportive. Families don't toally break up when marriages do (they had four children); much praise to the Johnsons for their civility.

WOW Simone is the carbon copy of her mama with her daddy's skin color.

Posted by: manda at Jun 21, 2008 11:17:26 PM

Nice.

The little girl is a tall six year old! She looks about nine, guess she's gonna be tall like her dad.

Posted by: Meg at Jun 22, 2008 4:47:04 PM

Dwayne is HOT HOT HOT! Simone is the spitting image of her mom. And she gonna be tall to like her big daddy.

Posted by: Huggy at Jun 23, 2008 10:54:00 AM

She's adorable. The last picture I saw of her was from The Game Plan premiere and she looked like a little girl. In this one she looks older and sophisticated. She looks a lot like her dad and I think she'll be tall like him as well.

Posted by: Kira at Jun 26, 2008 2:56:54 AM

By the way, the lady in the blue behind them looks like his mom, Ata. It could be her.

Posted by: Kira at Jun 26, 2008 2:58:40 AM

I don' know why they dcided to divorce but I would not be surprised if the relationship is rekindled in the future.
