Being a public figure often demands a particular measure of discretion, especially when it comes to personal life details. Regrettably, Paulina Gretzky, the daughter of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, has found herself in an awkward spotlight due to some unconventional comments made by her husband, pro golfer Dustin Johnson.
In a lead-up to the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY, Johnson gave an unusually candid response to an inquiry about his recent lower back injury during a press conference. The injury had forced him to bow out early from the Saudi International tournament in February.
While Johnson's cheeky comment may have resulted in laughter at the press conference, it has also inadvertently dragged Paulina into the limelight, sparking curiosity about her response to the public disclosure about their intimate life. The situation resulted in Paulina trending on Twitter.
Regardless of the personal chatter, Johnson is set to compete in his quest for a third major PGA Championship victory this weekend. That is, of course, provided there are no further injuries linked to his private life. In the meantime, Johnson has been sharing another type of "late night lessons" with Paulina: ones centered around the game of golf.
