Fact Check: Are viral images of Dwayne Johnson looking unwell after divorce real?

WASHINGTON, DC: Viral images claiming actor Dwayne Johnson has become extremely thin and unwell have been circulating on social media. Some posts also claim that he is going through a divorce from his wife, Lauren Hashian, and a DNA test dispute involving their daughter. These claims have raised questions among fans, but the images appear to be edited or AI-generated. Let's fact-check the claim.

Claim: Dwayne Johnson looks unwell after rumored divorce from his wife

Images claiming to show actor Dwayne Johnson looking extremely thin and unwell have circulated widely on social media alongside rumors about his marriage to Lauren Hashian.

Several posts claimed that the couple had divorced after seven years of marriage and that a failed DNA test involving their daughter had caused emotional distress for the actor.

One X user shared an image with a caption claiming that the 54-year-old actor had recently looked unwell following the alleged divorce and DNA test results.

The post stated, "The 54-year-old wrestler and actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has looked visibly unwell in recent weeks after divorcing his wife of seven years, Lauren Hashian."

Another user shared a similar message expressing concern about the actor, posting, "Heartbreaking to see Dwayne 'The Rock' going through this after the recent divorce and the DNA results. Hope he leans on his real support system and comes out stronger on the other side."

The viral images also raised questions among other social media users. One commenter questioned whether the person in the image was actually Dwayne Johnson and asked Grok to verify it.

Another user also asked, "Hey @grok is this pic of Dwayne the Rock Johnson real?" These reactions show that several users questioned the authenticity of the images and the claims about the actor's personal life.

Fact Check: The images are AI-generated

The claims circulating on social media are false. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Lauren Hashian are still married, and no credible evidence supports claims of a divorce or a failed DNA test involving their daughter.

Community Notes on the viral post also flagged the claims as false, explaining that the couple remains together and that the images showing Johnson looking unwell may be AI-generated, edited, or taken from his film roles.

Johnson and Hashian began dating around 2007 and married in a private ceremony in Hawaii on August 18, 2019.

They have continued to appear together at public events. In 2026, they attended the Golden Globes in January and made their Met Gala debut in May. Johnson also publicly praised Hashian for her work as a producer on a Moana-related music project.

The couple shares two daughters, Jasmine, born in 2015, and Tiana, born in 2018. Johnson also has an older daughter, Simone, from his previous marriage to Dany Garcia.

No credible reports or official statements support claims of a DNA test or a dispute over the paternity of his children with Hashian.

The viral images also do not provide evidence of any personal or family problems. Some appear to be AI-generated or heavily edited, while others may show Johnson's physical transformations for film roles.

Earlier in 2026, similar fake images claiming that the couple had welcomed a new baby also circulated online. Hashian publicly mocked those claims on Instagram.

Furthermore, no reliable media reports or official statements confirm that Johnson and Hashian have separated or are facing a paternity dispute.

The viral posts appear to combine manipulated images with false celebrity gossip to attract attention and online engagement. Public appearances and available reports continue to show the couple together.
