Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson apparently has five new half-siblings.
According to a report in Sports Illustrated, five total strangers have discovered that they are actually related after some sleuthing and DNA tests.
Lisa Purves, Paula Parsons, Trevor Edwards, Adrian Bowles and Aaron Fowler reportedly came together after discovering that late Canadian wrestler Rocky Johnson – Johnson’s dad – fathered them.

Talking to the magazine about their lives, the five shared that they didn’t have a relationship with their dad, who died in 2020.
They only found out about their connection after exploring their parentage and having DNA tests over the years.
One of the siblings – Purves – set out to make a documentary about absent parents, then someone suggested she make it about herself.
Now 53, she says she was “embarrassed that my father didn’t want me”.

She also shared that she stayed in Canada partly to avoid bumping into her famous half-brother, as he works in the same industry.
“I never wanted to run into Dwayne and have anyone know I was his bastard sister,” she said.
