Johnson recalls his first encounter with his bride in 2006 on the set of ‘The Game Plan’. “Within 30 seconds, I thought, ‘Wow, this girl’s stunning’. At the time, I was going through my breakup with Dany and Lauren was just coming off a big breakup too. Ironically, when you’re not looking for something, the power of the universe kind of takes over,” he said. Johnson had told another television news magazine in July that he has been referring to Lauren as his wife for several years. He said people get confused and ask him if he’s married and he replies “No. Easy. Don’t rush big daddy.”
