Olympian Mary Lou Retton’s Daughter Skyla Welcomes First Baby



Mary
Lou
Retton
 is
vaulting
into
her
next
chapter
as
a
grandma.

The
Olympian’s daughter Skyla Kelley has
welcomed
her
first
child,
a
baby
girl,
according
to People.

“I’m
going
to
be
a
LouLou,”
Mary
Lou
told
the
publication
about
her
preferred
nickname. “I
don’t
want
to
be
a
Mimi,
a
Gigi,
or
a
Nana.
A
LouLou!”

And
the
56-year-old
is
planning
all
the
ways
she’s
going
to “spoil
the
heck
out
of”
her
granddaughter,
and
any
future
grandchildren,
joking
that
it’s
something
she “did
not
do
to
my
kids!”

“I’ll
spoil
them,”
she
continued, “and
when
they
come
over
I’ll
just
play
with
them,
hide
and
seek,
all
of
it.
It’s
going
to
be
LouLou’s
time!”

The
family
first shared
the
news
of
Skyla’s
pregnancy
in
Ma
y when
the
24-year-old
was
seen
sporting
a baby
bump while
celebrating
her
22-year-old
sister Emma‘s
graduation
from
the
University
of
Arkansas.

But
the
family
milestone
comes
amid
a
difficult
year
for Mary
Lou—who
also
shares
daughters Shayla,
29
and McKenna,
27, with
ex-husband Shannon
Kelley
—as
she was
hospitalized with
a
rare
form
of
pneumonia
in
October
.
