When Paulina Gretzky revealed that her mother Janet Jones wanted to set her up with a golfer

Paulina Gretzky, daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and actress Janet Jones, surprised many fans when she revealed that she wasn't interested in golfers during her high school or college years. In fact, she shared that her mother once tried to set her up with a golfer, but Paulina wasn't interested at the time.

The revelation came during an episode of the Pillows and Beer podcast in 2021, when hosts Craig and Austin were discussing their college golfing experiences and mentioned that they had spoken to the then-girlfriend of the top golfer in the world. That's when Paulina chimed in, sharing her own story about her mother's attempt at matchmaking.

In the podcast episode, Paulina recalled the conversation with her mother and said:

"My mom was like, 'Paulina, I'm gonna set you up with a golfer'...I was like, 'Eh, no...'"

It seems that, at the time, Paulina had no interest in dating a golfer, despite being surrounded by the sport due to her father's involvement and her eventual partner, Dustin Johnson, being a professional golfer.

However, it seems that Paulina's perspective changed over time, as she eventually started dating Dustin Johnson in 2013. The couple got engaged later that year. They have been together ever since and have two children together. In fact, Johnson has credited Paulina's support and love for helping him through difficult times in his golfing career.

Despite her initial reluctance to date a golfer, Paulina Gretzky seems to have found happiness and love with Dustin Johnson. And who knows? Maybe her mother's intuition was right all along.
