Michael Phelps, the most-decorated Olympian in history, and his wife Nicole have announced the birth of their 4th child, another boy, and one who will carry on both his father’s and mother’s names.
Nico Michael Phelps was born on January 16th, giving the Phelps family now a full relay of boys: Boomer is 7, Beckett is 5, and Maverick is 4.
Michael himself was one of three children (two sisters) and Nicole was one of two (a younger brother), so their family has now surpassed the household size that either grew up in.
Michael and Nicole met at the 2007 ESPY Awards and dated on-and-off until getting married in 2016 – about a month after the birth of Boomer.
Michael is the most-decorated swimmer in history with 23 gold medals, 3 silver medals, and 2 bronze medals at the Olympics, plus a further 27 World Championships. He remains the only athlete to win 8 gold medals in a single Olympic Games.
Nicole is a former beauty queen who was Miss California USA 2010 and competed in the Miss USA pageant.
i’mma start commenting on all your baby announcements the same way y’all do here.
“oh my god! a future mid level sales rep at kohls!! 😍😍😍“
CRYYYIIIINNNGGG 😭😭
Congrats to the family! Does anybody know when tickets for the 2040 Olympic Swimming Trials go on sale?
Congrats 🥰
give it about 20 years and the Nico Phelps vs baby Dressel 100 fly races are gonna go crazy. It’d be the greatest rivalry since Michael and Lochte. the two will be so close in age lol imagine if they actually both become pro swimmers. unlikely, but it would be quite a story
I imagine baby Pellegrini and baby Seebohm might want a word about this haha
Such an unfortunate man-bun.
kinda wild (sad) how comfortable people feel to negatively comment on looks as long as the targets just a dude
There is one particular commenter on here who repeatedly talks about how ugly she thinks swimmers with tattoos are. Like I’m sure I’ve encountered it on at least 5 different articles. Very strange
Michael looks fine, not to mention very happy. I’ve given up even commenting on my own adult sons’ hair, anywhere.
Congratulations MP!
Side note, when is someone going to talk to Michael about this hair situation…
When they find someone who actually believes it’s their business
looks like theres plenty of people who believe its their business right here in the comments
what a weird coincidence that none of their opinions matter in any regard
Relay!
him and Kobe were good friends. Kobe with 4 daughters and Phelps with 4 sons I find this amusing for some reason
