Johnson, Gretzky welcome baby boy into the world

Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky became parents on Monday, with the Great One’s daughter giving birth to the engaged couple’s first child, a son.

“Paulina and I are happy to announce the arrival of our baby boy, who was born in Los Angeles on Monday morning,” Johnson said Tuesday night in a statement released by his management company. “Both Paulina and the baby are healthy, resting comfortably and in great spirits!

“We sincerely appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received and plan to release further details in the coming days!”

As mentioned in the statement, no word yet on the child’s name, weight, height and all of those usual baby nuggets. However, we should find those out soon.

In the meantime, this would seem to put Johnson on schedule for a return to the PGA Tour at either the Farmers Insurance Open in two weeks or the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am a week later.
