Dwayne Johnson, more commonly known as "The Rock," has a reason to smile for the holidays. He received the best gift days before Christmas with the birth of his new bundle of joy, his baby daughter Jasmine and shared her first photo with fans on Instagram.

The Central Intelligence actor shared a photo of his daughter Jasmine Johnson on Instagram four days after her birth, according to EUR. His daughter rested on her father's chest in this adorable picture, captioned with these sentimental words from the proud poppa.

"Thank you guys so much for the awesome congratulatory wishes and love you've been sending," wrote Johnson to all of his fans who sent him well wishes and congratulatory messages. "Christmas came early" for him and girlfriend Lauren Hashian, who welcomed their daughter into the world together, side by side, according to his Instagram post.

In a message to young men who plan to be a father one day, the former WWE sensation wrote, "Something else that'll never steer you wrong is 'walking thru the fire' with your baby's mama," Johnson explained. "I was right there during labor, helping her breathe, every highly intense contraction, every second of pain, right there watching the actual birth, cutting the cord and wiping the tears."

The couple welcomed baby Jasmine on Dec. 16, according to Entertainment Weekly, the first child for the couple together and the second daughter of Johnson. The Ballers star has another daughter, Simone, 14, with ex-wife Dany Garcia.
