InstagramPaulina Gretzky is going to be a mom!
The 25-year-old model has announced that she's expecting her first child with fiancé Dustin Johnson. "[We] are so excited to finally share with you all our amazing news..we're having a baby!!" she wrote in an Instagram caption Tuesday. The couple began dating in 2011 and announced their engagement two years later.
In late July, 30-year-old Dustin announced that he was taking time away from the PGA Tour in order to "seek professional help for personal challenges." He added, "By committing the time and resources necessary to improve my mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation, I am confident that I will be better equipped to fulfill my potential and become a consistent champion. I respectfully ask my fans, well-wishers and the media for privacy as I embark upon this mission of self-improvement."
In August, Golf.com reported that Dustin failed three drug tests—two for cocaine (in 2012 and 2014) and one for marijuana (2009). The website claimed that he was first suspended two years ago, but the suspension was never made public. Under its guidelines, the PGA Tour is not required to announce any disciplinary actions against players who test positive for recreational drugs. Per Golf.com, he was put on a six-month suspension for his alleged second infraction. PGA Tour executive vice president Ty Votaw later refuted the report, reiterating that Dustin's decision was his own. "With regard to media reports that Dustin Johnson has been suspended by the PGA Tour, this is to clarify that Mr. Johnson has taken a voluntary leave of absence and is not under a suspension from the PGA Tour," he said in a statement.
Paulina's father, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, has publicly pledged his support for Dustin. "He's our future son-in-law and we love him dearly," the Great One, 53, told Sportsnet 590 radio in September.
There are perks to taking time off, of course. While some of Dustin's fellow golfers are gearing up for the Ryder Cup in Scotland, the future father has plenty of time to dote on his pregnant fiancée at home.
