After the athletics season of 2021, Shelly has been spending time with her family and son Zyon. Shelly shared a story on Twitter of how Zyon made her emotional. After coming back from the tour, Shelly went for a nap, while Zyon was not around. When she woke up and went to see her son, Zyon asked her a question that melted her heart.
