Emily Maynard Has Relatable Mom Moment as She Shares 'Only Picture' She Took on Halloween of Son Jones Maynard Johnson is mom to six kids — Ricki, 18, Jennings, 8, Gibson, 6, Gatlin, 5, Nola Belle, 2½, and Jones - whom she shares with her husband Tyler Johnson, 33. In October, the star had a relatable mom moment as she got ready to celebrate the spookiest holiday of the year with her kids. In a photo shared to her Instagram, Maynard Johnson's son Jones smiled as he wore a boxing costume, complete with his own name on the gloves and waistband. "The only picture I took the entire day of Halloween," the mom of six wrote in her caption. "How is everyone getting their family to dress the same AND smile for a cute family picture??" In August, the proud mom posted a sweet photo to her Instagram celebrating her son Jones. In the photo, Maynard Johnson smiled as she carried her son, balancing her phone between her fingers. Jones laughed at the camera as he posed in his mom's arms, one hand touching her phone. "I'm so happy I didn't stop at five. I love you all the way to heaven Jones West. ❤️," she captioned the photo. The proud mom welcomed Jones, who was born with Down syndrome and a rare congenital colon abnormality, in August 2022. "I am so grateful," Maynard Johnson told PEOPLE exclusively at the time. "But I'm still on my journey of processing everything. And I have to trust that it will all turn out alright." "I was in shock," Maynard Johnson recalled of the moment when she was informed of the Down syndrome diagnosis. "It was not on my radar at all. And I refused to believe it. I just wanted to hold him and for everything to be okay." "He's the easiest baby and he's just been our biggest blessing," she said. "I'm still learning about Down syndrome, but I'm trying to also just experience Jones as Jones and not as different than any of the other kids."
