From an Olympic gold medal, a Dancing with the Stars mirror ball trophy and now a stunning diamond engagement ring, Shawn Johnson is one lucky lady!
On Friday July 24th, Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson got engaged to her NFL player boyfriend, Andrew East after she threw the first pitch at Wrigley Field, Us Weekly reports. As the gymnast was walking off the mound, East dropped to one knee to ask her to be his wife.
"I'm the luckiest girl in the entire world! We're looking to tie the knot next spring/summer before Rio. And it was honestly a complete surprise," she told Us Weekly magazine. "He was acting so weird all day and was so quiet but I shrugged it off because I was so terrified of throwing the first pitch!"
The 23-year-old uploaded a video to her Instagram account of the proposal writing, “Well I know it’s not a secret…. But I experienced the greatest surprise a girl could ever ask for today…. The love of my life @andrewdeast asked me to be his forever AND I SAID YES!!!!!!#isaidyes #weregettingmarried #holycow.”
Johnson also admitted that since East will be attending training camp for the Chiefs, the two athletes will have to plan their wedding long distance and during visits.
