Nicole Johnson (fiancé)
Meet Nicole Johnson, fiancé of Michael Phelps. Nicole recently announced that they will be reading vows as soon as later this year. A picture of Nicole, a former beauty pageant champion and Miss California 2010, features her in an underwater photo shoot when she was pregnant with now Instagram sensation and one of America’s most loved infants, Boomer Phelps.
We’ll get to Boomer later but Nicole herself is not only famous for dating Poseidon personified himself, but she’s also a bit of an over-achiever herself.
Having done her master’s degree in Communications with specialization in Sports and Entertainment from the University of Southern California, Nicole raised no eyebrows when she started being spotted with the swimming God.
She then went on to work for big companies until she recently took over Michael Phelps’ foundation and started focusing on expanding Phelps’ swim products.
Nicole and Michael’s journey to the altar is one with many ups and downs. They started dating in 2007, broke off in 2011 and were back together in 2014. They’ve matured over the years and Michael believes that it has helped both of them grow as individuals and as a couple.
“I said to a couple of my friends if I ever had the chance to get her back, that would be it. She was the one I loved the most.” Phelps said. “Her and I have been on and off for eight years. It’s been a long time. We’ve been through a lot. But I love her to death.
“We’ve been able to grow as a couple through everything we’ve been through, the positive changes I’ve made in my life.”
