"Beautiful family"- Fans react to Michael Phelps' Christmas post 

Michael Phelps is unarguably the most successful Olympic athlete. He won 23 gold medals in the Olympics. The legendary swimmer is enjoying his retirement with his family.

Phelps recently posted a family picture on his Instagram account celebrating Christmas with his wife, Nicole, and three sons, Maverick, Beckett, and Boomer.

This year, the Phelps family coordinated their attire. They wore matching costumes like elves. The family of five was sitting on the floor with their dogs, who were also celebrating Christmas.

Michael Phelps and his sons were dressed in the same green costume, while Nicole was spotted in a white dress. One dog wore a matching outfit, while the other had a Santa cap on.

Michael Phelps, who has more than 3 million followers on Instagram, shared the snap with a short caption. He wrote:

"Merry Christmas"

Fans jumped into the comments section to say:

"Beautiful family."

His wife has also shared an album of five pictures on her account. The first snap saw Michael and the kids sitting on a chair and posing for the camera. The second picture was of the kids wearing winter caps, and the third was a family picture. Nicole's Christmas post was completed with a beautiful caption. She wrote:

"I love all my elves. Merry Christmas from my family to yours."

"Awesome, pics of a beautiful family! Michael is a great athlete, but I think he makes a better elf! The barefoot elves are hilarious! I can't get over the feet, tho-those feet are so long, and they're all barefoot."

Michael Phelps tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Nicole Johnson, in 2016. The couple dated for six years before starting their journey of togetherness.

They met in 2007, and after being acquaintances for two years, the pair started dating in 2009 and then, in 2016, got married in a dreamy private ceremony. Noticeably, Michael's wife is a former model and runner-up of Miss California Teenager.
