- Shawn Johnson and Andrew East suffered a loss five years ago when the gymnast miscarried.
- Now, the pair have welcomed their third child and are parents to two boys and one girl.
- Johnson and East raise their kids in their house in Nashville. Here is a look inside their home.
Shawn Johnson and Andrew East tied the knot on April 16, 2016 in Tennessee. The couple first met in 2012 through Johnson's brother, Guy. Three years later, East proposed to Johnson at a Chicago Cubs game.
Since then, Johnson and East have welcomed three children together. Their daughter, Drew Hazel East, was born on October 29, 2019, and their eldest son, Jett James East, was born on July 19, 2021. The couple's youngest son, Barett "Bear" Madison East, was born on December 12, 2023.
Johnson and East had an emotional and challenging start when they began building their family. However, the Olympic gold medal gymnast was positive she had someone special to go on this journey with. She gushed about East when she was about to marry him, "I've found my guy. And he's my best friend, so making it official is exciting."
The couple's big day was organized by Sara Fried of Fête Nashville: Luxury Weddings and was held at a private farm, making it a relaxed and intimate affair just as Johnson wanted. An excited bride said everything was right about East.
Johnson didn't have to impress the former NFL player by showing off as an Olympic gymnast or celebrity girl. Instead, she admitted that she embraced her "weird" and "awkward" self, which made East love her more. "And it just became more and more comfortable," she added.
After their intimate wedding, Johnson and East started their life as a married couple. Johnson later found out she was pregnant and was surprised because they weren't trying for a baby. When she told her husband that they were going to have a baby, they were both emotional and teary as they embraced and kissed.
Unfortunately, a day after Johnson told East she was pregnant, she miscarried. The two shared a video on their YouTube channel, "The East Family. They noted how the gymnast started having stomach pains and was bleeding heavily, so they went to see a doctor, "We just got back from the doctor, and I'm no longer pregnant. Somehow, I lost the pregnancy already. It sucks. It's definitely no fun, guys."
The days after Johnson found out she was pregnant, told her husband about the pregnancy and miscarried ended up being the happiest, scariest, and saddest times of her life. The couple was sad, and they cried but were still optimistic about what the future held.
The future has been kind to Johnson and East as they are now parents to three kids. Johnson was excited to announce that she was pregnant with her third child, and the couple shared a cute family picture on Instagram when they welcomed their baby girl.
Following the birth of their youngest, Johnson is taking time to let her body recover but is glad to see how excited East and the older siblings are about the new addition. "Seeing them meet their newest sibling was the sweetest thing EVER," she confessed.
The gymnast and her husband are raising their kids in their home in Nashville, Tennessee. The two moved into their house in 2022. They first saw the house when they were driving by; a week later, they bought it, and a week after that, they moved in. After moving in, they gave a tour of their new home.
