Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is being praised for a photo he shared of himself feeding his partner Lauren Hashian, as she nursed their two-month-old daughter Tiana.

The actor shared the adorable photo on his Instagram, where he wrote: “I’ll handle this business. Mama @laurenhashianofficial has her hands full nursing/feeding baby Tia so I’m feedin’ mama her dinner. My pleasure.

“So much respect to her and all mamas out there holding it down and running things. Just landed and good to get all my girls settled in.

“Now, I gotta go satisfy my own appetite… Iron Paradise, here I come,” Johnson wrote.

In the photo, Johnson is on his knees spoon-feeding his partner as she breastfeeds baby Tia, who is cradled in her arms.

The picture, which has been liked over four million times, was then uploaded to the Facebook page The Badass Breastfeeder with the caption: “And this is how it’s done. Thank you Dwayne The Rock Johnson,” where mums and dads shared their support for the dad-of-three.

“So nice to see a secure man who respects his partner for the sacrifices she and her body made for their child,” one woman wrote.

Others reminisced on their own husbands or partners doing the same thing for them while they breastfed.

“Do you remember doing this for me?! Seems so long ago now doesn’t it!” one person wrote.

The Fast and Furious star has previously shown off his love of parenting on Instagram, where he regularly posts photos of newborn Tiana Gia and daughters Jasmine and Simone.

The 46-year-old announced Tia’s birth with a photo of himself cradling the newborn to his chest and a caption that celebrated both his new daughter and his partner Lauren.

“Tiana Gia Johnson came into this world like a force of nature and Mama laboured and delivered like a true rockstar.

“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 @laurenhashianofficial and all mamas and women out there,” he wrote.

The actor also told his 107 million followers that if you really want to “understand the single most powerful and primal moment life will ever offer - watch your child being born.”
