Also Dec. 17, Johnson East paid tribute to her husband, writing on her Instagram Stories, alongside a video of East sitting with their two older kids, "This man is my world. @andrewdeast we are only 5 days into being a family of 5 but to see how you've embraced your new role as the wrangler of the 'bigs' is so special. Our family feels complete. I love you so much."
Johnson East welcomed baby Bear via C-section and the couple found out the sex of their baby only after he was born. While in the hospital, the two also ran into another celeb who was about to become a first-time father: "The Bachelorette" alum Shawn Booth, who welcomed a baby with Audrey "Dre" Joseph.
East shared a pic of himself and the reality star at the hospital. He wrote, "12/12 was a great day to have a baby! Look who our delivery room neighbors were."
