Celebration Horns Ring in Michael Phelps’ House As Wife Announces Arrival of Fourth Baby

“The sweetest thing is how genuinely excited the boys are to meet their brother… Having four boys will be crazy but wonderful.” These are the words Nicole Phelps said back in November 2023 in an exclusive interview with Today.com. Today, that fourth boy has finally arrived in the lives of Nicole and Michael Phelps.

23X Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and his wife were part of several viral images featuring the baby bump of Nicole. The 38-year-old now shared the good news of the birth of his child, along with the name of the newest member of the Phelps family.

Michael Phelps and Nicole go from a family of five to six

Michael Phelps took to Instagram and uploaded an image sharing the frame with his wife and his newborn son. The post carried the caption, “@mrs.nicolephelps and I wanna welcome Nico Michael Phelps to the world. Born on 1/16. We’re so blessed to be given a 4th child. We’re now a family of 6!” 

The photograph displays Michael Phelps holding Nico in his hands as Nicole puts a hand on his head and sticks close to her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps were very excited about the arrival of Nico. 

The couple had the fans going crazy by announcing the news of a baby on the way on 30th October 2023. However, they took their time to reveal the news of Nico’s birth and announced it almost a week later. Nicole Phelps made the announcement on their seventh anniversary.

Although Michael Phelps and Nicole are extremely happy with the birth of Nico, processing another pregnancy wasn’t easy for the mother of four. But, while she was scared initially, Michael was ecstatic about a fourth child right from the start. This helped calm down Nicole who had good feelings about becoming a mother for the fourth time. “He’s the bonus we didn’t know we needed,” said the happy mom in an interview.
