Olympic Games gold medalist Shawn Johnson got the surprise of her life Friday when an ordinary date with boyfriend NFL player Andrew East at a baseball game at Chicago's Wrigley Field turned out to be a life-changing event.
The 23-year-old gymnast and boyfriend Andrew East together with fellow gymnast from Team USA Alicia Quinn were at the baseball game to kick off the first official pitch for the Cubs Vs. Phillies match, as per Daily Mail.

Of course she said yes! Shawn Johnson just got engaged!
She took to Twitter to share the happy news. "Today the love of my life asked me to be his forever... AND I SAID YES!! #isaidyes #weregettingmarried #wrigleyfield," the Olympic games gymnast wrote.
