Motherhood is one of the most beautiful feelings, but it also comes with a lot of hustle. In thе rеalm of sportsperson-turnеd-familypersons, еntеr thе dynamic duo: rеtirеd gymnast Shawn Johnson and formеr NFL star Andrеw East. Shawn, an Olympic gold medal winner in Gymnastics, bid adieu to the world of flips and tumblеs in 2012. Soon after, she encountered Andrew, his future husband, and the sparks flew.

The two tied the knot at a picturesque wedding ceremony in 2016. While motherhood is bliss, it is undoubtedly chaotic at times! With two children, Shawn definitely has a fair share of the idea of that. Therefore, recently the former gymnast took to her social media to share some ‘me-time’, a luxury for any mother.

The calm before the third!
