It showed different versions of her two boys, playful and adorable. The montage also featured her husband, Dustin Johnson, playing and frolicking around with their sons. There was a clip of the two boys dancing at a wedding, and another one of them singing a song at a party. The song “They Grow Up Too Fast” by Jimmy Charles also played in the background, a fitting song for the situation.

Paulina Gretzky is no stranger to showing off her spectacular sons on social media. In fact, she has a highlight on her Instagram profile which is dedicated only to her gorgeous boys.

According to People, back in 2019, Paulina Gretzky shared a video of her father playing hockey with her soon-to-be 2-year-old son, River.

While The Great One might be retired, he still has a trick or two up his sleeve. And now, River probably is privy to these tricks as well. Tatum has also had the privilege to learn a few hockey moves from his grandfather. Again, it was Paulina Gretzky who shared the update on her Instagram account, as she wrote, “Papa Wayne determined hockey is in him making sure he is a lover, not a fighter.”
