Chanen and Juwan Johnson announce second pregnancy months after baby J’Adore’s birth: “A miracle”

In July 2023, Juwan Johnson was delighted to welcome his first child, J’Adore Blessing Johnson. He won’t have to wait much longer for his second child.

On Saturday, the wife of the New Orleans tight end, Chanen, shared on Instagram that the couple is anticipating their second child. The accompanying video was captioned:

“A miracle.”

The day after, they had a photoshoot with J’Adore, featuring Chanen proudly displaying her pregnancy belly.

Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of Kyle Juszczyk, fullback for the San Francisco 49ers, as well as Tavia, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, and their daughter Gracie, were among the well-wishers who congratulated the couple on their news.

From Fur Babies to Real Babies: How Caring for Dogs Helped the Johnsons Prepare for Parenthood

Parenthood is commonly regarded as one of the most challenging aspects of life to embark on, if not the most difficult. However, Chanen and Juwan Johnson found a way to prepare for this journey.

Following their marriage in 2020, they welcomed two furry additions to their family: French bulldog Hendrix and Chihuahua/terrier mix Fitzgerald. As they shared in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE in January, caring for these two pups would prepare them for the arrival of their daughter J’Adore.

“To be honest, it’s very similar. It got us in a routine of caring for someone other than ourselves,”Chanen said.

“It just gets you in a routine because when they’re newborns and they’re crying in the middle of the night, they need to go to the bathroom, you got to train them, you got to potty train them, and then you got to teach them morals, manners, and things like that.”

The presence of those dogs also aided them in dealing with a set of miscarriages that occurred during the same year as J’Adore’s birth.

“We kept to ourselves a lot of last year and didn’t really want to go out and about and socialize. It can just be tough. And having them there was really special for us. They were helpful. They were fun. They always do the quirkiest things and help us through a lot,”she added.

J’Adore has already made her decision on who she wants to be close with.

“Fitz is very attached to Dori, so they have their little moments, and he’ll come and lick her and play with her. When she was a newborn, he would just sit there and protect her at all costs. And if someone came and walked by, he wasn’t having it,”Chanen said.

Currently, there is no disclosed due date for their second child.
