GILBERT, Ariz. — A Valley Olympian is celebrating an upcoming addition to her family. Congratulations to MyKayla Skinner and her husband Jonas Harmer for their new chapter as parents!
Skinner made the announcement on social media Friday morning, saying that the newest member of their family is coming in September 2023.
She turned heads worldwide with her artistic gymnastics performance at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, bringing home a silver medal for America. She's also won several gold medals at the Pan American Championships and a gold medal at the World Championships in 2014.
