Dwayne Johnson Shuts Down AI Fakes Targeting His Wife

Okay, here we go again with the AI nonsense—this time it's Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and his wife Lauren Hashian dragged into the weird world of fake baby bump photos. If you saw those pics floating around, no, Lauren isn't pregnant with another mini Rock. That was all generated by a computer, but The Rock had the perfect response for anyone buying into those rumors.

The Fake Baby Bump Saga

So here’s what happened: A bunch of AI images started popping up online recently—some showing Lauren with a baby bump, others with her holding newborn twins (yes, twins, because why not make it extra ridiculous?). To add insult to injury, fake news posts even claimed she just gave birth at a private Miami hospital, complete with invented dramatic details about The Rock welcoming his “new baby, surrounded by family.”

People really will believe anything with a convincing-looking photo and a made-up backstory, huh?

The Rock Breaks His Silence

Here’s the fun part: Dwayne Johnson hit the 2026 Met Gala this week—yes, this is the same event where he decided to show up in a skirt and turn even more heads than usual. While chatting with Entertainment Tonight outside the event, a reporter asked him about all the fake baby rumors. Without missing a beat, Johnson shot the story down, saying:

'She’s not pregnant and having another child, but we do try. And it’s the practice that’s good.'

Well, that pretty much squashes the speculation, and he gets points for keeping it light.

Lauren Hashian: Also Not Having Any Of It

Lauren Hashian didn’t just let the rumors go, either. She took the rumors and ran with them—straight into sarcasm territory on her Instagram stories. First, she shared the AI-generated 'news' with a message to her followers:

'Because I thought we'd all enjoy a good Sunday laugh… Apparently, I had a new baby in Miami.'

Then she doubled down, posting another fake AI image of herself holding two newborns, joking:

'Make that TWO! I had TWO BABIES!!'

If you’re going to be targeted by bizarre AI maternity rumors, you might as well have some fun with it.

A Quick Recap for Anyone Who’s Lost Track

• AI-generated images showed up online of Lauren Hashian (very much not pregnant) either sporting a baby bump or holding newborn twins.
• Some Dorothy-from-Kansas-level fake news stories claimed she and The Rock had a new baby in Miami.
• Johnson shut down the rumors at the Met Gala, keeping things breezy and light.
• Hashian herself took to Instagram to mock the whole thing, using the AI images as joke fodder.

Bottom line—the only babies The Rock and Lauren are welcoming right now are the AI-generated kind photoshopped by random trolls. If that changes for real, something tells me Dwayne Johnson and Lauren Hashian will let the world know on their own terms. Probably not with a badly faked hospital room photo, either.
