Shawn Johnson and Andrew East announce name of third baby
Shawn Johnson East and husband Andreas East have added another son to their family.
“Our sweet sweet bear,” Johnson East, 31, wrote via Instagram Story on Sunday, December 17, while sharing a selfie video with the newborn. “He eats and sleeps like a champ.”
The Olympian added in a follow-up post: “You are perfect.”
Johnson East gave birth to Bear via caesarean section on Tuesday, December 12. She and East, 32, shared the newborn’s arrival two days later in their “FamilyMade” newsletter.
“Life is so good and we feel truly blessed to have a third healthy baby join our family,” East wrote at the time. “My father was born on December 9 and passed away unexpectedly on December 27 last year, so December is a month with a lot of impact for us. It feels very special to see our baby born so close to my father’s birthday. I’m sure he would smile at us and be so proud of us.”
Bear was born on the same day and in the same hospital as Bachelor party alum Shawn Booth‘s first child. (Booth, 36, shares his little one with Audrey “Dre” Joseph.)

“To see [Drew and Jett] meeting their newest sibling was the sweetest thing ever,” Johnson East added in the newsletter. “They have been so kind to the baby and I know they are happy the wait is over, especially Drew.”
