My pleasure," he captioned a photo of himself kneeling on the floor and happily spoon-feeding his girl. "So much respect to her and all mamas out there holding it down and running things. Just landed and good to get all my girl's settled in. Now, I gotta go satisfy my own appetite. Iron Paradise, here I come. #EveryoneGetsFed #DaddysGottaGoToWork #ChivalryIsToughOnTheKnees."

While he's one heck of an actor, his daughter is learning his skills. "After a very long and fatiguing day of work, the battle of wills between me and my baby, Jasmine Lia was just the mental therapy I needed," he captioned a video of his daughter asking for cereal in a tiny cup. "When she throws the cup and pretends to be sad… she’s rewriting the psychological chess game, that I thought I mastered. Think again daddy."

He's setting a great example for his kids.

Simone gave her father a sweet card for Father's Day in June 2017, that touched his heart because she said he admired the type of person he was. "The thing that got me the most was the realization that of all the things I do that could influence my kid, she's motivated by hard work and kindness," he captioned a pic of them hugging. "Not fame, not money or flashy things to buy, but hard work and kindness."

His daughter knows her daddy is the best EVER.

He shared the most precious video of his baby girl shouting just how much she loves her dad. "Stuntin’ on em with those Easter mic skills. And just cuz I bribe my baby with candy to say 'I love you daddy so much everrrrrr' doesn’t make it wrong. I win at all costs."

He's helping other men be better, too.

When his daughte Tiana was born in April 2018, the actor had some important words for the dads of the world. "Word to the wise gentlemen, it’s critical to be by your lady’s head when she’s delivering, being as supportive as you can.. holding hands, holding legs, whatever you can do. But, if you really want to understand the single most powerful and primal moment life will ever offer – watch your child being born," he captioned a beautiful photo of him cradling the newborn in his arms. "Its a life changer and the respect and admiration you have for a woman, will forever be boundless."

He has heart-to-heart talks with his kids.

The famous dad has some big dreams for his daughter. "Jazzy, let daddy tell you his goals. By 5, you'll be looking people in the eye when you firmly shake their hand. By 8, you'll know how to fish, drive daddy's pick up truck and do cardio. And by 10, you'll be able to directly say to people, 'Great job, I like it a lot, but let's see how we can make it better.' Helluva plan right sweetheart?"

There's no telling how far he'll go for his kids.

The movie star stopped on his way out of the door before heading to the NAACP Awards to spend some time with his baby girl in February 2017. "Dressed like a G and daddy's gotta go to work, but someone ain't lettin' go. Me, not her. . Excited for tonight's show!"

The Rock got super nostalgic when his daughter Simone turned 16.

"Feels like just yesterday I held her tiny body in my hands the day she was born as I whispered 'I'm gonna love and take care of you for the rest of my life.' She of course cried, which in newborn lingo translates to, 'you're the best damn daddy on the planet'. True story.

The Rock is ready to protect his girls.

When baby Jasmine turned 2 in December 2017, the Rampage star showed how overprotective he'll be with his girls. "The Big 2. Happy Birthday to our lil’ piece of sugar Jasmine Lia," he captioned a cute pic of her. "Just like your big sister Simone and your baby sis on the way… as your daddy, you have my word I’ll always love, protect and guide you the rest of my life. Just promise me I get one hour of 'special alone time' with any boy you decide to bring home in the far FAR future."

His captions are deep enough to make a grown man cry.

Even if he has a pile of work to tend to, The Rock pushes it all to the side to watch a movie with his kids. "Got up early to get some good, quiet Sunday work done in my office and this lil' tiger wakes up, wanders in and wants to watch 'Mo'.. her way of saying Moana. And aaaaall daddy's work comes to a screeching halt," he captioned a pic of him and his kid at his desk.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

When his daughter Simone, whom he shares with ex-wife Dany Garcia, was named the first ever Golden Globes Ambassador in 2017, the former WWE star was super excited. "What a morning for our ohana! Very proud of my first born @simonegjohnson carrying the torch for our industry’s #GoldenGlobes as the first ever #GoldenGlobesAmbassador," he captioned a snap of his child. "I’m also super impressed this 16yr old got up at 2am this morning to get ready — a full 2hrs before her maniac papa bear dad gets up to workout."

Before welcoming his second child with Lauren, he made his team take CPR classes. "You hope there’s never an emergency where you never have to deploy the skill. Since we have another baby girl on the way – I wanted to make sure myself, my family and our staff took another choking prevention and CPR course on infants, children and adults," he captioned a snap in February 2018. "Highly recommend you guys do it, because never know what may happen and it’s always best to be ready. For the record, this baby is not real and not mine. My babies come out much browner. And cuter. #IOnlyMakeGirls."

He loves being surrounded by his girls!

Plus, Jazzy is excited to boss around and protect her lil’ sis," he captioned a snap of his toddler. 

He added: "And once again, big daddy is completely surrounded by beautiful estrogen and loving, powerful female mana. All girls. One dude. And a boy dog. I wouldn’t have it any other way."
