Michael Phelps shares wife Nicole's post on their 7th wedding anniversary

Earlier, Nicole Phelps shared heartwarming pictures on her official Instagram handle with her husband that were clicked during the seven years of their married life. She also confirmed that the couple is expecting their fourth child.

Michael Phelps and Nicole Phelps met each other at the ESPY Awards in 2007. But they didn’t have the smoothest love story in the initial phase of their relationship. After dating for a while, the couple broke up in 2008 following the Beijing Olympics. Later, both of them got back together for the second time in 2010 before breaking up again a year later.

Things took a different course for the couple when Nicole conveyed her congratulations to the Olympic Champion following his victorious pursuit of medals at the London Olympics in 2012. Eventually, in 2014, the couple again managed to get back into a relationship, which led to their engagement in 2015.

Therefore, in a private ceremony on June 13, 2016, the couple tied the knot and have been each other’s companions ever since. They are now proud parents of three boys, Boomer, Beckett, and Maverick.

The family is now settled in Paradise Valley, Arizona, where Phelps works as an assistant coach for the Arizona State Sun Devils swim team, alongside Bob Bowman.

Nicole is an ambassador for the Michael Phelps Foundation, promoting water safety, wellness, and physical and mental health.
