Shawn was a former gold medal-winning Olympic gymnast, while Andrew was an NFL player. The athletic pair were engaged in July 2015 during a Chicago Cubs baseball game, and they wed in 2016.
Being parents in 2019 had, in the opinion of Andrew and his Olympic gold medalist wife Shawn Johnson East, drastically changed their way of life.
Olympic athlete Shawn Johnson East and her husband Andrew East had their daughter Drew Hazel in 2019 before giving birth to their second child, Jett James, in 2021.
Raising two young children has been incredibly rewarding and challenging, as it is for any new parents. East wished someone had warned her about how having children would drastically alter her life.
According to Johnson East, having one child versus having two was the more challenging transition. She acknowledged that having two children and being constantly busy prevented her from taking getaways.
