Paulina, 31, has been credited by Johnson, 36, for incredible “sacrifices” in looking after their family while he pursues his golfing career.

He told GolfWeek: “She’s a huge part of me, our family and my success.

“She’s home with the kids, and has been great with that, and just has been a huge supporter for me, with everything I need to do.

“You couldn’t ask for a better partner.”

Together, Dustin and Paulina have two young sons; five-year-old Tatum and three-year-old River.

With Johnson aiming to add to his 2016 US Open title this weekend, which remains his only major win to date, he believes he has the perfect partner.

Fans can expect to see Gretzky out on the course at Winged Foot this weekend

Gretzky certainly knows what it is like to live with a sports star, as the daughter of ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky.

Johnson continued: “I’m very close with all of the Gretzkys. It’s great to be able to just listen.

“I’ve learned so much from Wayne, just watching the way he acts and the way he treats other people.

“His dad, Walter, is unbelievable. He might be more popular than Wayne.

“But obviously, with Wayne, it’s great to have someone who dominated their sport the way he did for such a long period of time.”

Johnson tees off at New York’s Winged Foot Golf Club at 6.16pm, UK time, on Thursday in the rescheduled US Open.
