Mary Lou Retton is going to be a grandmother again!
On Thursday, August 8, the former gymnast’s oldest daughter, Shayla Schrepfer, announced on social media that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Wyatt Schrepfer. The news comes just over a week after her younger sister Skyla gave birth to a baby girl, making Retton, 56, a grandmother for the first time.
“BABY SCHREPFER ARRIVING FEBRUARY 2025! ✨🌼,” Shayla, 29, captioned the photo carousel on Instagram. The couple were seen embracing in the photos as they proudly showed off their ultrasound scans.
“Honey, we are so excited and HONORED to be your parents! We can’t wait to meet you!” read the headline that included the bible verse.

“It’s everything I’ve ever wanted,” Shayla said in a YouTube video as she took followers on a car ride with her to take a pregnancy test. She also shared that she started an announcement vlog many times and didn’t post it because she didn’t end up pregnant.
Shayla was visibly shaking with excitement as she explained the results of multiple pregnancy tests to her followers via video, and began to cry when one of the tests said she was indeed pregnant.
She paused the video before going to break the news to Wyatt, promising that his reaction would be included in a future video.
