Home / News / Celebrity News Shawn Johnson East & husband welcome third baby! The new baby joins siblings Drew, 4, and Jett, 2. By Abi Berwager Schreier December 15, 2023 Rectangle Life is good for retired Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East and her husband Andrew East. Their third baby was born via c-section on Tuesday December 12, according to their FamilyMade newsletter. The family has decided not to share the name or sex of the baby with the public yet because they wanted to take the time to spend a few days with their newest family member first. This wonderful addition comes after months of trying, according to the couple’s website announcement when they shared this pregnancy with the world. “After months of trying, thinking we were pregnant and then being bummed we weren’t, and a couple times getting pregnant and experiencing loss early on, we’re confident this one is here to stay. We wanted to wait a while to officially announce the news. Here’s to all the nausea, cravings, back pain, and other fun things we go through that are totally worth it to ultimately hold a little baby in our arms. Here we go again!” Shawn shared on their website. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shawn Johnson East (@shawnjohnson) And the new baby is finally here and everyone is ecstatic.
