Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shared a video from his daughter Tiana's 7th birthday party—and fans couldn't help but notice how scaled back and "simple" it was despite Johnson's wealth and fame.

Can you smell what The Rock is cooking? Luckily, it’s just his daughter’s birthday cake—and lots of happy smiles.

Girl dad Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson laid the smackdown on a Hello Kitty-themed birthday cake for his now 6-year-old daughter, Tiana Johnson.


Tiana, the youngest of Johnson’s daughters, could be seen squealing with other young partygoers while her flustered dad attempted to cut the cake.

As he did so, Johnson assured his little one, “Birthday girl first.” It’s tradition, of course!

Dwayne shared a video of the moment and wrote in the caption:

“You know I’m not letting a bunch of little girls grow up telling a story about how ‘The Rock killed our birthday cake’"

Nicknamed his “youngest tornado,” Tia got the obligatory first slice of cake as the other girls clambered over to grab the rest as it slid forward suddenly.

You can watch the near-disastrous cake video below:

Cake saved, the professional wrestler and film star also added:

“Their high pitched shrieks in unison is the perfect way to spike your adrenaline!”

Our heart rates are back to normal thanks to the Rock, who saved the day again.

In a People Magazine interview in 2021, Dwayne talked about raising kids with his wife, Lauren Hashian, “in an environment and a culture where there are no limits to life.”

The entertainer also discussed lessons that raising his girls has taught him:

“You can be wired, as a lot of fathers are, to fix things. Just having an expanded capacity to listen and be more tender and gentle really gave me that ability to solve whatever the issue is, but with them compared to for them.”

Some fans commented were surprised at how “normal” that looked when compared to other celebrity kid parties:

Hello Kitty was also the theme for Kim Kardashian’s daughter’s fifth birthday, with pink-themed balloon arches, a ball pit, pink onesies, and a grilled cheese and milkshake station.

Fans praised the Rock’s humble party for Tiana:

Before cameras, courtroom sketch artists served a purpose. Even now, a sketch artist can provide visuals to accompany reporting of trials when no other form of recording during court sessions is allowed.

The artists try to stay close to what the defendant, witnesses, and everyone else look like, but they can sometime veer into the caricature, as Luigi Mangione has found during his heavily publicized court appearances.

Roseanne Gets Brutal Reminder After Trying To Compare Her Firing To Jimmy Kimmel Suspension

Comedian-turned-MAGA conspiracy theorist Roseanne Barr was reminded of the circumstances behind her now-infamous firing from the reboot of her classic sitcom Roseanne after she compared her exit to ABC's suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after President Donald Trump saw an opening to get him off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

Yesterday, ABC said it was suspending Kimmel’s show “indefinitely” after conservatives charged the longtime host with misrepresenting the politics of the man accused of killing Kirk.

During a 2016 presidential debate, former Democratic Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought up how Trump claimed Emmy voting was rigged when The Apprentice failed to win an award after two nominations.
