Shawn Johnson — the 2008 Olympic gold medal gymnast — is not only dealing with the normal challenges of pregnancy, but she’s also tested positive for COVID-19.
The former Olympic star — who’s expecting her second child with husband, football player Andrew East — revealed she has coronavirus Sunday evening, saying her results came back positive and, “Not going to lie… I’m nervous.”
Shawn added … “my body is just exhausted.” She’s especially concerned about the virus because she’s had asthma her entire life — plus, she says a very close family member fought off a serious case of COVID-19 just last month.
So far she’s dealing with a cough, severe sore throat and a headache. She’s also super tired, but chalks a lot of that up to pregnancy.
Shawn’s family already had a rough stretch, as she says their 15-month-old daughter Drew Hazel just got over having RSV — a different respiratory virus which can be incredibly scary for little kids.
Her husband had previously tested positive for COVID … something the couple revealed last month when they announced they were expecting baby #2.
Get well soon!
