I love that you are so honest and don’t sugar coat the reality of social media as a public figure. If I had to post everyday I’d feel so drained!!

[@annaweeks4662]

You guys will be wonderful parents. I had my first at 22 and second at 31. I felt better after my second. I was in better shape. Worked out my entire pregnancy.

[@taylormakenziereed8115]

I was so worried about having trouble conceiving too! I was 27 when my husband agreed he was ready and we go pregnant the second month! Now I'm due with my baby girl in November. Best of luck to you both, I wish you all the baby dust♡

[@jennamurray4636]

I was 24 when I got pregnant 25 when I had my son. And I honestly think it was a good age to have my 1st old enough to know what’s going on and have a pretty set life and everything but still young enough to have the energy and everything else that comes with having a young child.

[@danag3757]

Melo 😻😻😻 Also love that you are upfront about the lip fillers. Most influencers/celebrities will deny that stuff which I think is damaging. Also proud of you for working on finishing up school!! You're almost there!!!

[@westonding8953]

Glad to see you MyKayla! We appreciate this Q & A session!

[@nonbinaryirishdancer]

I'm so excited to read your book! I've loved reading other Olympic gymnasts' books and I can't wait to read your unique story and perspective.

[@kristinferrier789]

Would definitely love to read a book by you!! Having parent and coaches perspectives would be great to see included in the book.

[@nancynewman1356]

You and your family are always in my prayers. God bless you. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Jade’s about to try staying with her Oregon State team and go Elite at the same time, so I was interested in what you were saying about attempting to juggle them both. Thank you for sharing all of your answers here!

[@kjamison05]

I love kickboxing too. I also enjoy HIIT classes. It’s so hard to find something fun when you’re used to gymnastics workouts.

Lip filler lasts longer than botox for sure. Botox is every 3 months, most people who get lip filler only need it done every 6 months or so. Don’t really see how one is “bad” & one is good. :// didn’t love that part of the video but I’m so glad you all are doing well!

[@oliviaevans4428]

thanks for saying this, I was going to share the same! Botox doesnt last/is not permanent at all and doesn't hurt because the needle is significantly smaller and doesn't go as deep. at the end of the day (to Myk's point) get what you want. but then also RESEARCH it to fully understand what it is/the process/how it works!! (:

[@jennadavison5876]

Yeah there are actually multiple videos by board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons that show filler sticks around FAR longer than we thought (years+). This is a great one where they proved through follow-up MRIs that fillers actually last years: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6CpkHiwZ5xggpI

[@jamiekuntz1019]

This was a great video to catch up on a lot of things. I honestly don’t blame you for wanting to have kids when you are younger especially if you want 3-4. I personally didn’t meat my his fan till I was almost 35. And then I had my daughter at almost 37 so take it from me it is not easy to had a child at this age and we ended up deciding to only have one due to the complications you can have at “advanced maternal age”. One thing was being told that a million times throughout my pregnancy.

[@punchingbagz]

Mykayla is my favorite athlete of all time hands down. Such an amazing person!

Check out Hawaii Shark Encounters! We loved it! The water is chilly, but it’s totally safe and a really incredible experience. We took a waterproof camera and are really glad we had it.

[@chiknlittle]

Honestly totally understand the frustration with the algorithm. It's made all social media so much less organic and sincere.

[@ludlp_4EVER]

If you did a video with Jade, I WOULD DIE I love all of the videos with her in it when you were on tour. She is so funny and sweet I think that would be great

love your pure honesty on everything!

[@claireduckworth7659]

Melo is so cute and I loved this video and hearing how you and Jonas met!

[@kristinferrier789]

If you're looking to include multiple perspectives, you might consider a format like they did in the book Together On Top of the World: The Remarkable Story of the First Couple to Climb the Fabled Seven Summits. It's a story from the first couple to climb all Seven Summits together, including Everest. As they go through each portion of the story, they share the story from Phil or Sue's perspective and then the other. It made for an, especially, interesting read.

[@coachabby16]

Omg Mykayla I'm going to Hawaii in May too!!! Maybe I'll get to see you, that would be a dream come true! You are legit the best! Which island are you going too?

[@erinb5327]

[@TheMisschrisaz]

Awesome video! Thank you for letting us into your life.

[@scrumps101]

The intro still gives me chills!

[@JB11334]

It sounds like you needed a different instructor for CrossFit. Bad form and hurting yourself is not how CrossFit should be taught. I was a CrossFit coach and starting with the PVC pipe or empty 15lb barbell. Less reps with proper technique. I agree about Instagram- hate it and don’t use it anymore. It doesn’t feel like socializing just more for business. I would love to hear your gymnastics story/ journey

[@lizethperez8091]

Hope you enjoy your vacay & you should go wherever you want!! But rn is not a good time to travel to Hawaii, please consider switching places or doing some research

[@taylormade2044]

You do you girl! Love your perspective

[@ginadyson8779]

If you ever come back and visit Arizona, come through a little town called Salome, AZ and eat at my mom's Mexican restaurant called Christina's Mexican/American Restaurant. Its about 100 miles west of Phoenix. 😊

[@carson0201]

Mykayla, are you acquainted with Sydney Solosky?

[@katherine5797]

The toxic trait with CrossFit is thinking you have to prioritize reps over form. NEVER sacrifice your body for a stupid workout.

[@sophier5508]

Great Q&A session, I loved it, both of you have a lot of great things to look forward to, I hope that you MyKayla will get some more clarity on what you want to do as far as your professional career is concerned. There are probably not so many opportunities as sport analyst for gymnastics but anyway, I hope there is a great career waiting for you somewhere, and I wish you all the best !

Honestly I couldn’t agree more on CrossFit. I cringe every time i see someone doing a handstand or wracking their heads/necks against the floor for a handstand push-up. And nailed it with the social media aspect too.

[@allysonburlew414]

I love how upfront and proud you are of your religion! great to see!!!

[@youtubeojunk]

You're not the only college gymnast who went back to elite. Mohini Bhardwaj from UCLA went back after graduating and got a silver medal at the Olympics in 2004. She was 25. Another person was Kate Richardson (UCLA/Canada for the Olympics, and she was still on the team while competing). There are likely others but that's all I remember off the top of my head. If you plan on being a commentator, better get good at knowing stats and trivia like that!

On the fear of not being able to get pregnant, please let go of it ASAP. We have friends that struggled for a long, long time to get pregnant. They eventually opted for IVF. The first time failed. The second time worked, but she had a miscarriage after only a couple of weeks. Then they opted out of it, and sort of went, "if it were meant to be, it would be". Low and behold, a couple of months later they got pregnant. TWINS!

It sounds like you are burned out on being in the spotlight and would love to just live your life. Even being a sportscaster would be living your life because while you would be on TV the spotlight would be on the sports you are reporting on. life has these moments where you shift from what you were centered on to the next thing, and sometimes there is a waiting time before the next thing just to recenter yourself. It sounds like you are trying to be balanced ....it's a good thing!

You should try out diving! A lot of people go from gymnastics to diving, Krysta Palmer won bronze for the US at this Olympics and she started as a gymnast and didn't take up diving till her 20s.

It’s the opposite. Botox lasts 6 months tops. Filler lasts much longer. Can last years and years. That’s why you see so many bad lips.

I’ve heard that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints condemns homosexuality, yet you had a gay coach, and a gay choreographer for your floor routine, and many gay fans.
