Golf fans around the world were left stunned this week following the unexpected announcement that two-time major champion Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky are headed for divorce. The couple, long seen as one of golf’s most glamorous pairs, have been together for over a decade and married in 2022 after a prolonged engagement.
According to early reports, the split was described as “amicable,” but the lack of detailed explanation has left fans speculating wildly on social media. Some supporters have expressed sadness and disbelief, while others have cited past turbulence in the couple’s relationship as a potential precursor to the split.
“Dustin and Paulina always looked like the perfect couple,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “This one really hurts. I thought they’d made it through the tough times.”
However, not all reactions have been sympathetic. Some users noted that both Johnson’s grueling LIV Golf schedule and past rumors of infidelity may have contributed to strain on the relationship. “Honestly, not that surprising,” one commenter posted. “Being on the road constantly takes a toll. These things don’t happen overnight.”
The couple share two sons, Tatum (9) and River (6), and sources close to the family indicate that co-parenting will be a top priority. “They are focused on the well-being of their children above all else,” said one anonymous insider.
While neither Johnson nor Gretzky has released a full public statement, fans remain glued to their social media accounts for signs of clarity. Paulina, who had previously shared glimpses of their family life online, has noticeably deleted several recent photos of Johnson, fueling further speculation.
With Johnson still active on the LIV Golf circuit and Gretzky maintaining a presence in entertainment and fashion, many wonder how the split might affect their careers — and whether either will address the public in the coming days.
