Last week, Johnson East and her football player husband, 29,announced they are expecting their second child togetherin a set of social media posts. The pair are already parents to 14-month-old daughterDrew Hazel.
Then, onYouTube, the couple shared the moment they learned the news, with the athlete surprising East. When she showed him the positive pregnancy test, he replied, “I freakin' knew you were!” which the mom-to-be jokingly says was the “worst response.” They hugged and celebrated the happy moment.
“If you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, if you’re trying to adopt, if you’re in the process of expanding your family or recently suffering from a loss, we are praying for you. All those beautiful babies out there, all those rainbow babies, all those babies in heaven,” Johnson East says at the end of the video. “We love you guys.”

“I mentally don’t want to say, ‘We’re trying,’ because I don’t want to put myself in the position where we get a year down the road and it’s like, ‘Oh, we’ve been trying for a year and it hasn’t happened,’ " the retired Olympic gymnast explained during an episode of Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner’sHot Marriage Cool Parentspodcast.
She went on to share that she still hadcomplicated feelings about her past miscarriageand didn’t want to set herself up for disappointment. Johnson East and her husband previously revealed she hadsuffered a miscarriagein October 2017, before going on to announce they wereexpecting againin April 2019. Their daughter was born the following October.
“[After a loss,] it is [scary],” Johnson East said on the October podcast episode. “And I feel like it never gets easier, which is funny. It’s like, ‘Oh, once I have our kid, it’ll be fine and I won’t be worrying.’ But then you have a child and [it’s] anxiety all day, every day. [You always think] something’s gonna go wrong. It never gets easier but it’s always worth it, obviously.”
