Speaking on Developmentally Speaking, Wippleman was asked about his friendship with Rock.

“Wonderful person. I’ve known him since he was a child. We’re very close. I would literally die for him. He’s made my life. I’ll be 58 years old Friday. I never dreamed that in my late 50s, I was gonna have a brand new trajectory in life, and I owe it to him. I’ll never, ever forget him for it. If he needs a place to live right now, which, I can’t see that happening, but if he did, I would certainly open my doors to him. He’s welcome here any time," he said.

In 2020, The Rock gifted Wippleman with a new car that was free of crackheads.
