Olympic gymnast MyKayla Skinner and her spouse Jonas Harmer started a new chapter in their lives when they got married in 2019. After a silver medal in the women’s vault at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Skinner retired from elite gymnastics. The couple welcomed their first child two years later in September 2023 and named her Charlotte Jane Harmer. However, the joy of parenthood also brought a new dimension to her life.

The new parents are still navigating the joys and challenges of raising their child and often engage in leisure activities. And recently, their post on social media highlighted another perk of being curious parents.

MyKayla Skinner does the taste test with husband

Yesterday, Skinner amazed her fans with a fresh update showing her dedication to motherhood and physical fitness. Today, the former gymnast shared an unexpected video of trying freshly pumped breast milk with her husband. In a hesitant video, Skinner and Harmer were holding a clear plastic glass with a tiny amount of breast milk, starting a taste test that Skinner said, “I didn’t really wanna do this, this was more for Jonas but here we are.“

Jonas quickly defended himself saying, “I figured if I have to do it, you have to do it.” He further added, “And bodybuilders actually buy this stuff.” To which she replied, “that’s disgusting.” After some mixed banter the couple took a sip and instantly made weird faces. Skinner was first to say: “It’s really not that bad.” After his second sip, Jonas said, “Kinda tastes like vanilla almond milk.” 

Their post caption read: “BREAST MILK TASTE TEST. We’ve talked about doing this for months and finally worked up the courage.” Naturally, the post generated a range of responses from their followers, many of whom found the couple’s oddball experiment amusing and agreed with it.
