Shawn Johnson East gives birth, welcomes 2nd child with husband Andrew East

Shawn Johnson East received something better than the gold medal this year.

The former Olympic gymnast and her husband, Andrew East, welcomed their second child, a baby boy.

The couple announced the happy news in an Instagram Story on their children’s clothing company page, Teddy & Bear.

“We’re so excited to announce a new friend is here!” one of the Stories read.

Another gave an update, “Mom and baby are doing well and we can’t wait to meet our new friend!”

No other details, including the baby’s name or his date of birth have been revealed.

“We are so happy to welcome our little man into the world. We are loving life as a family of four and soaking up every minute,” the couple told People in a statement on Tuesday.

Shawn, 29, married the NFL long snapper, also 29, in April 2016. The pair are already parents to 20-month-old daughter Drew Hazel.

Shawn announced she was pregnant again in January with a photo showing off her growing baby bump in a YouTube video.

Just weeks after sharing her pregnancy news, she revealed she tested positive for COVID-19.

“I coughed all night, that was bad. But during the daytime I feel really good, my headaches are gone, my sore throat is finally gone,” she told fans in an update

She added that despite being “nervous about being pregnant and the baby” she was “trying to get enough rest” to heal.

Shawn previously suffered a miscarriage prior to welcoming Drew and her new baby boy.

A rep for Shawn didn’t immediately get back to us.
