Shawn Johnson East Debunks Pregnancy Rumors
28 Feb
Summary
- Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East denied pregnancy rumors.
- Rumors stemmed from a fan reposting an old announcement.
- Johnson East has previously experienced a miscarriage.
Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East recently addressed and debunked circulating rumors of a fourth pregnancy. The 34-year-old athlete, who shares three children with husband Andrew East, clarified that the online speculation was untrue.
The confusion arose when a fan reposted a video from February 23, 2026, which was originally from a 2023 episode of their podcast, "Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew." This video was the couple's announcement for the arrival of their son, Barrett.
Johnson East, married to Andrew East since 2016, has been open about her past pregnancies. She revealed in 2023 that she had been pregnant four times, including a miscarriage in 2017 during her first pregnancy. The recent fan repost appears to have taken her words out of context, leading to the current misinformation.
