Big news: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson tied the knot with his partner Lauren Hashian in a romantic Hawaiian ceremony on Saturday, announcing the happy news via his Instagram page on Monday morning

I do! The actor, 47, announced the happy news via his Instagram account on Monday morning, surprising fans by uploading a series of stunning pictures of the bride and groom posing in front of a picturesque sunset in Hawaii 

Fans rushed to congratulate the pair on their marriage, showering the happy couple with well wishes.  

They were initially due to get married in the Spring of 2018, but postponed the wedding when Lauren fell pregnant with their second child.

Explaining why they changed the date of the ceremony, the Jumanji star said the beauty didn't want to have a 'big belly' in her wedding photos.

He joked to Rolling Stone magazine: 'We were going to get married in the spring and we got pregnant. 

'Lauren felt like, well, you know, mama [doesn't want] to take pictures being pregnant in a wedding dress, so we're just going to wait and not quite sure when, but I know it's going to happen.

'The great thing with Lauren is she's such a rock star. She's just like, "It's alright, whenever it's going to happen we're going to make it work".' 

Happy family: The couple, who raise daughters Jasmine, three, (pictured in December 2017) and Tiana, 15 months, together, have been together since 2007

The former WWE world champion said the couple weren't 'exactly' trying to get pregnant but were 'talking about it' before he received the happy news.

The Rock is also a father to daughter Simone, 18, from his first marriage to producer Dany Garcia.

The star said that it was nice to welcome children later in life after first becoming a father aged 29 as 'guys don't mature until much later.' 

Speaking after the birth of his third daughter Tiana, The Rock stated he felt 'blessed and proud to bring another strong girl into this world'.

He said: 'I was raised and surrounded by strong, loving women all my life, but after participating in baby Tia’s delivery, it’s hard to express the new level of love, respect and admiration I have for and all mamas and women out there.'

Postponing the big day: They were due to get married in the spring of 2018, but postponed the wedding when Lauren fell pregnant with their second child

Lauren - who is the daughter of the late Sib Hashian, the drummer for the band Boston - attended Emerson College and graduation with her BA in public relations and communications in 2006.

She has also released music of her own, with tunes like Memory and You are Mine available on SoundCloud.  

Meanwhile, The Rock was previously married to film producer Dany Garcia, who has acted as his manager since 2008 and is credited for helping him build his multi-million dollar empire.

The pair, who announced their amicable split in June 2007, are still on great terms and she has worked with him in big blockbuster movies including Baywatch and the Jumanji sequel. 

Discussing how their relationship went from personal to professional, his ex-wife Dany told Marie Claire last year: 'We knew that we were moving into that period of our lives, the closing of a personal relationship. 

'I was already deeply involved with his agents, I was already commenting on scripts. It was a very natural conversation, where he just said to me, "I would love for you to do this full-time".'

Still on great terms: The Rock was previously married to film producer Dany Garcia, who became his manager around the time of their divorce in 2008. The pair announced they were splitting in June 2007 after deciding they were better off as friends
