Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky got married in April. Pictures of the duo’s wedding from the scenic Blackberry Farm in Walland, in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee, have gone viral. Having been engaged since 2013, Gretzky and Johnson finally got hitched and have been living happily ever since.

However, Johnson might have landed himself in some trouble with his wife Paulina Gretzky for answering an awkward question. The golfer was speaking to the media at the LIV Golf Chicago event when he was asked a question involving his wife. The 38-year-old, who was in top form at the Rich Harvest Farms, was asked to pick between his fishing pole and his wife.

Dustin Johnson loves fishing. His love for the hobby was put to the test when he was asked a question about the same. According to reports, Johnson wishes to retire from the sport before his 50s and give himself more time to fish. Picking this up, a reporter present at a press conference in Chicago asked if he would choose a fishing pole over his wife.

“As an avid fisherman, I always wanted to ask you, if you were stranded on a island for the rest of your life, would you rather take your fishing pole or Paulina if you had one choice?”

Instead of choosing his wife, Johnson decided to state that he “couldn’t answer that question”. This might have landed him in some trouble.

“I can't answer that question.”

The answer led to a laugh at the press conference. However, it’s unclear if his wife also found it funny. It is pertinent to note that Dustin's Johnson’s relationship with actress Paulina Gretzky and their wedding was a big event for the media.

Johnson was soon suspended from the PGA after he tested positive for cocaine. Interestingly, Paulina took to her Instagram to share the news of her pregnancy at the same time.

The couple welcomed their first child, Tatum Gretzky Johnson, in January 2015 and their second son, River Jones Johnson, in 2017.
