Dwayne Johnson is opening up about how he and wife Lauren Hashian are maintaining a healthy relationship at home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
On Saturday, the actor — who is also self-isolating at home with their daughters Jasmine Lia, 4, and Tiana Gia, 2 — shared a thoughtful response on Instagram after a fan asked him how social distancing has been affecting his marriage.
In his candid video message, Johnson explained that he and Lauren — who tied the knot in August during a secret wedding — have been “doing [their] best” amid the unusual circumstances.
While he admitted that the two “are going through dumb s—” and occasionally “get snippy” with one another, he feels that “the quarantine has had a very positive effect on my relationship and my marriage.”
The Moana star, 47, explained that he felt “wobbly” the first two weeks of quarantine as he felt unsure of the future, but he “realized kinda quickly how critical it was for [him and his wife] to be ultra considerate, caring and empathetic of one another.”
“Be even better listeners. Even better communicators. Recognize that during these times, we’re not operating at full brain & emotional EQ capacity as we usually are,” he noted.
