Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and her husband, former NFL player, Andrew East open up about how they met, how they manage careers and family, and about the online community they’re cultivating through their podcast and media company, FamilyMade.
Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East is recalling her 8-year feud with former teammate and close friend Nastia Liukin. During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the pair competed together as part of Team USA. The gymnasts were good friends before the Summer Games, but Johnson East said in a recent interview that their bond quickly changed when faced with pressure of being in the spotlight.
' The two kept their distance during that time, but Johnson East said their then-boyfriends eventually got 'so tired' of hearing them talk about one another that they pushed their girlfriends to open lines of communication. 'And we did,' Johnson East said. 'And ever since then, it's just been like we haven't skipped a beat. We're each other's biggest fans, best friends, biggest supporters and we just love each other.
