Shawn Johnson Responds to Rumors She’s Pregnant With Baby No. 4
Don’t get it twisted: Shawn Johnson East is not expecting another child.
The Olympic gymnast—who shares daughter Drew6, as well as sons Jett4, and Barrett a.k.a. “Bear,” 2, with husband Andrew East—set the record straight about a fourth pregnancy, clarifying that the rumors circulating online are completely false.
“SPAM! NOT TRUE AND NOT OUR ACCOUNT HAHAHAHAH,” she wrote in a since-expired Instagram Story on Feb. 26, which was captured by People. “This was our announcement for being pregnant with BEAR!!!!!”
Indeed, the announcement video that Shawn, 34, was referencing came from a 2023 episode of her and Andrew’s joint podcast, Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew.
At the time, the couple—who has been married since 2016—spoke about their third baby on the way, with Shawn noting that she had been pregnant four times already after suffering a miscarriage during her first pregnancy in 2017. However, it appears her words were taken out of context and reposted by a fan on TikTok on Feb. 23, leading to the recent confusion.
