Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, 38, and his wife joyfully announce the arrival of their fourth son, Nico Michael Phelps, as confirmed in a joint Instagram post on Monday. He was born on 16 January 2024.
The post features a heartwarming picture of the couple cradling Nico in Phelps’ arms. “@mrs.nicolephelps and I wanna welcome Nico Michael Phelps to the world.
Born on 1/16,” he captioned the post, expressing gratitude for their expanding family. “We are so blessed to be given a 4th child,” the caption continued. “We are now a family of 6!”
In a heartwarming Instagram announcement earlier this month, the parents of four boys shared the joyous news of their family expanding once again. Married since 2016, the couple posed for a photo during a recent NFL game, showcasing Johnson’s baby bump.
Marking their seventh anniversary, the mom of four shared a joyous Instagram post, announcing the upcoming arrival of their fourth child in 2024.
Accompanying the post were heartfelt words, “For those that are wondering.. yes! We’re expecting our 4th Phelps in 2024”, expressed alongside a carousel of images.
Ecstatic about their house full of boys, the parents radiate happiness. Johnson, in particular, relishes the dynamic, earning the endearing title “queen of the household” from the family.
Michael Phelps shared a heartwarming moment involving his son Boomer, stating, “I’m so lucky to have a house full of boys and no girls.”
Boomer, with sweet innocence, replied, “Mommy, you’re the girl in our house.” Embracing this sentiment, the family affectionately refers to Nicole Johnson as the “queen,” as affirmed by him.
The 23-time Olympic gold medalist, Michael Phelps, first crossed paths with his now-wife, Nicole Johnson, in 2007 at the ESPY Awards. Their connection was immediate, marking the beginning of a beautiful love story.
In 2010, Johnson, a former pageant competitor and model, achieved the title of Miss California USA and secured a place in the top 10 of the Miss USA finals.
Following a few years of on-and-off dating, Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson took a significant step in their relationship, getting engaged in 2015. Their love story culminated in a grand celebration as they tied the knot in 2016, opting for three separate ceremonies to mark the beginning of their shared journey.
