The couple, in a statement released to People.com, says, "While certain aspects of our relationship have changed, we are both vitally important to each other's lives.

"We will continue to advance and manage our business interests, our philanthropic efforts and most importantly the raising of our child together, as a loving team.

'The Rock' finds inspiration in true-life football story
Sep/15/06 08:20 AM | Permalink
NOT MANY FILMS can make a big, tough guy like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson get teary-eyed. But the former Canadian football player turned World Wrestling champion — now box office movie star — says after watching the documentary "Gridiron Gang," he got all choked up.

"The film really touched every emotion in me," he said during a recent interview in a San Francisco hotel.

The Rock stars in a new feature film of the same name that's based the documentary. "Gridiron Gang" is the inspirational story of juvenile detention camp probation officer Sean Porter ("The Rock") and his partner, who turn hardcore teenage criminals at a Southern California facility into a winning high school football team.

Johnson, who also stars in the upcoming football movie "The Game Plan," says the opportunity to play a unique role fell into his lap.
