Paulina Gretzky Celebrates 36th Birthday in Red Mini at Martini Party

Paulina Gretzky went all out for her 36th birthday bash.

“Tini bit older 🍸,” Gretzky, 36, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, December 19, alongside a carousel of images from the get-together held in Palm Beach, Florida, which was martini-themed.

In the first snap, Gretzky posed alongside husband Dustin Johnson. The couple snuggled up on a pink couch and left two martini glasses resting on the coffee table in front of them.

Gretzky rocked a sultry satin red mini dress. The frock featured a halter neck that had a long red ribbon flowing on the back. She completed the look with matching stiletto heels. The golfer, 40, opted for a classic black and white suit.

Gretzky’s outfit was on theme, as the party decor featured an array of red flowers and other embellishments including the tablecloth, candles, balloons and more. The event also had an olive-themed cake which had the phrase “tini bit older” written in frosting. The beverage of the evening was a standard olive martini which many guests had placed on the dining table.

In addition to being joined by her husband, Paulina’s parents, hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and Janet Jones Gretzky, were also in attendance. Paulina and Johnson posed alongside Wayne and Janet, both 63, as they sat in front of a dinner table.

Paulina’s brothers Ty, Tristan and Trevor, and many of Paulina’s friends were also at the party. Johnson’s brother, Austin, and his wife Samantha also attended. Paulina and Johnson’s sons, sons River, 9, and Tatum, 7, were not featured in any of the photos.

Johnson, for his part, paid tribute to his wife in a post of his own.

“Happy Birthday to the most amazing wife and mom,” the LIV golfer wrote on Thursday. “We love you so much @paulinagretzky!”

Paulina and Johnson tied the knot in April 2022 after being engaged for nearly a decade. Before walking down the aisle, Paulina welcomed River in January 2015. Two years later, the pair expanded their family with Tatum.

“I don’t know if people know if me and Dustin are really married or not. We’re not, [but] we’re so in love,” Paulina said during an episode of sister-in-law Sara Gretzky‘s “The Netchicks” podcast in 2021 before her nuptials. “I feel like everyone is like, ‘What is it? Is he not wanting to or she not wanting to?’ It’s so stupid… Being just with kids and being happy, I don’t want anything from Dustin other than I love him.”
