YEE HAW! Paulina Gretzky ropes up cowboy fun for Dustin Johnson’s 40th birthday

Paulina Gretzky, known for her lavish celebrations, left no stone unturned for her husband Dustin Johnson’s 40th birthday. Gretzky, the daughter of NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, is famous for her extravagant party planning, often going all out for events such as weddings, anniversaries, and victories in golf.

For Johnson’s milestone birthday, she organized an elaborate cowboy-themed party complete with all the ranch details. The festivities featured gallons of premium Casamigos tequila, custom-labeled “Dustin’s 40th.” Guests enjoyed a venue adorned with hides on the walls and floors, and Gretzky made a grand entrance in a vintage Cadillac Eldorado. The party also featured bespoke cocktails like the Buckin’ Bronco and the Lone Star for those looking for alternatives to tequila.

Gretzky and Johnson’s relationship began in 2009, leading to their engagement in 2013, with Wayne Gretzky’s approval. Gretzky has been a constant presence at Johnson’s PGA events and has staunchly supported him since his controversial move to the LIV Golf circuit two years ago.

The couple tied the knot on April 23, 2022, at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee and have two sons, Tatum and River, aged 9 and 6. Despite their public and seemingly glamorous life, the pair have faced significant challenges. In March, Gretzky revealed that Johnson received multiple death threats following his transition to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league. This hostility led them to temporarily step back from social media.

Gretzky expressed her frustration with the negative reactions but decided to avoid the online backlash, stating, “Everyone has an opinion on it. Fine.” She emphasized her contentment with their new life, stepping away from the demanding PGA Tour schedule that Johnson cited as a major factor in his decision to switch.

Johnson, who turned 40 on Saturday, has significantly benefited from his move, enjoying more family time and a lucrative income. In his first year with LIV Golf, he reportedly earned over $35 million in winnings and signed a four-year contract worth $125 million. Despite the threats and controversies, Johnson remains satisfied with his decision, asserting, “We knew what we signed up for.”
