Shawn Johnson East's son, Jett, has already demonstrated a remarkable interest in high-speed vehicles. When asked about his future career aspirations, the 3-year-old has mentioned three distinct options, all within the realm of fast-paced transportation. "So either a fast airplane pilot, a fast car driver or a fast motorcycle driver," Shawn revealed in an exclusive interview with E! News.This early fascination with speed and power suggests that Jett may be a natural-born thrill-seeker, with the potential to excel in high-octane professions. As the young boy continues to explore his interests, his parents, Shawn and Andrew East, are eager to nurture his passions and support his dreams, whatever they may be.
While Jett's aspirations may seem ambitious for a toddler, Shawn and Andrew are committed to providing their children with the resources and opportunities to pursue their goals. The couple, who also share 4-year-old daughter Drew and 9-month-old son Bear, understand the importance of fostering their children's interests and allowing them to explore their passions.As Jett grows older, his parents will likely explore various avenues to help him develop the necessary skills and knowledge to potentially become a professional driver, pilot, or motorcycle racer. This may involve enrolling him in specialized programs, connecting him with mentors in the industry, and ensuring he receives a well-rounded education that supports his unique interests and talents.
In contrast to Jett's need for speed, Shawn's daughter Drew has set her sights on a different kind of achievement – becoming a princess. "My daughter still says, 'Princess,'" Shawn shared, highlighting the distinct personalities and interests of her two older children.The dynamic between Jett and Drew will undoubtedly be an intriguing aspect of the family's journey as the siblings navigate their individual passions and dreams. While Jett may be focused on the thrill of high-speed vehicles, Drew's aspirations may lead her down a more regal path, perhaps exploring the world of performing arts, fashion, or even politics.Regardless of their chosen paths, Shawn and Andrew are committed to providing their children with the support and guidance they need to pursue their dreams, whether it's Jett's need for speed or Drew's royal ambitions.
As with any family, the Easts have faced their fair share of challenges, particularly during the last school year as they prepared for the arrival of their youngest child, Bear. Shawn acknowledged that the transition was a bit rough, but this year, the family is thriving."This year, our kids are thriving," Shawn raved. "They're doing so well. They have so much confidence going to school. They're excited at drop off. They're excited when they get home. So it's been really, really good."The Easts' ability to navigate the ups and downs of parenthood, while nurturing their children's unique interests and aspirations, is a testament to their dedication and resilience as a family. As Jett, Drew, and Bear continue to grow and explore their passions, Shawn and Andrew will undoubtedly be there to support them every step of the way.
