He explained that “skin-to-skin” contact is considered very important for a new baby, so he took his shirt off when his wife Lauren Hashian had to go to the bathroom.
Johnson also talked about the experience of being there for little Tiana’s delivery.
“I was encouraging [Lauren] — holding her hand. And the doctor said, ‘Would you like to come down and watch and help?’” he said. “I said, ‘Yup, I’m going to come down. Watch. Help.’”
“I’m holding legs, everything. And out comes the baby,” Johnson continued, adding, “I know, right? Crazy. ‘Cause you roll the dice. You don’t know how it’s going to go. A lot of stuff happens.”
“I will say, it was the most amazing experience I’ve ever seen,” Johnson said. “I look at Lauren, and women and mothers, in a different light than I ever have before. And it was beautiful.”
Johnson has three daughters: 16-year-old Simone from his previous marriage and two-year-old Jasmine from his current marriage to Hashian.
