Michael Phelps’ wife, a former Miss California, stuns in gorgeous photos – check them out!
Olympic legend Michael Phelps, widely regarded as one of the greatest Olympians in history, continues to fascinate fans with both his incredible athletic achievements and his personal life.
Famous for his outstanding swimming skills, Phelps has won an astonishing 28 Olympic medals, including a record-breaking 23 golds, solidifying his place as a sports icon.
Born on June 30, 1985, in Baltimore, Maryland, Phelps started swimming at a young age and eventually became one of the most successful athletes in history. His dominance in the pool, especially during the Olympics, sets him apart as a one-of-a-kind champion.
When discussing the greatest Olympian ever, names like Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, and Nadia Comaneci are often mentioned.
However, in terms of total medals, Phelps stands in a league of his own. His 23 gold medals surpass the combined career totals of most Olympians, including many highly accomplished swimmers.
Aside from a few legends like Mark Spitz, Matt Biondi, and Jenny Thompson, no swimmer has come close to matching Phelps’ historic gold medal count.
Beyond his achievements in swimming, Phelps has won the admiration of fans worldwide.
His Instagram is full of comments from devoted followers, many calling him their “idol” and “legend.” Some even express their admiration for the athlete, admitting they have a “crush” on him or are “obsessed” with him.
While his athletic career is remarkable, Phelps’ personal life has also attracted attention. At the ESPY Awards, where he received honors for Best Record-Breaking Performance and Best Male U.S. Olympic Athlete, Phelps shared his joy in celebrating with his family. The ceremony holds special meaning for him, as it was where he first met his wife, Nicole Johnson, more than a decade ago.
Johnson, more than just a beauty, has been a constant pillar of support for Phelps. Since 2015, she has served as an Ambassador for the Michael Phelps Foundation, showing her commitment to their shared goals.
With a background in modeling and beauty pageants, Johnson’s accomplishments include winning the title of Miss California USA in 2010, according to VC Star. She also finished as a runner-up in the Miss California National Teenager 2004 competition and reached the top 15 in her first Miss California USA attempt in 2006.
Fans have noticed Johnson’s beauty through the glimpses Phelps shares on social media. Admirers often comment on her appearance, describing her as “cute,” “pretty,” and “absolutely beautiful.” The couple’s strong connection and attractive looks have earned them praise, with many fans admiring their relationship as much as Phelps’ athletic achievements.
More importantly, Johnson plays a key role in supporting Phelps through his struggles with anxiety and depression. Phelps has openly discussed his mental health challenges and frequently credits his wife for her constant support.
“There’s no one else who could support me like she does. She’s the glue that keeps us all together,” Phelps said in an interview with Today.
Together, Phelps and Johnson are raising four sons: Boomer, Beckett, Maverick, and their newest addition, Nico.
As Phelps continues to inspire with his Olympic legacy, his life with Johnson and their children reflects his growth as both a champion athlete and a dedicated family man.
