Michael Phelps and his wife Nicole Johnson have announced the arrival of their fourth child, a son. The couple shared the news on Instagram with a photo of them cradling their newborn. They expressed their gratitude for their growing family, now a family of six. Phelps and Johnson, both 38, already have three sons: Boomer, Beckett, and Maverick.
In October 2023, Phelps and Johnson revealed their plans to expand their family. During an appearance on the Today show, Phelps joked about soon having enough kids for a relay team or a golf foursome. The couple met in 2007 and had an on-off relationship before rekindling their romance in 2014. They got engaged the following year and secretly tied the knot in June 2016, just one month before welcoming their first son, Boomer.
Phelps and Johnson have renewed their vows twice since their first wedding and have been open about their desire for a larger family. Phelps, a 23-time Olympic gold medalist, has shared his favorite parts of being a father, including the joy of watching his children grow and hearing the things they say.
In addition to the news of Phelps and Johnson’s new arrival, other celebrities have also welcomed babies in 2024. Sienna Miller gave birth to her second child earlier this month with her boyfriend, Oli Green. Miller also has an older daughter with her ex-fiancé, Tom Sturridge.
