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 May 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.
