Nicole Phelps, wife of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, recently announced that they are expecting another boy, the couple’s fourth child. The announcement came during an interview with TODAY, where Nicole not only shared the baby’s sex but also spoke about potential names for the new arrival.
Michael and Nicole are already parents to three sons: Boomer, Beckett, and Maverick. Nicole, who previously held the title of Miss California, expressed her contentment with having another boy, although many have commented on the duo not having a girl yet. Nicole, however, shrugged off such comments, stating that a family only receives what they’re supposed to have.
As for naming the upcoming baby, the Phelps’ elder sons are rather fond of the name Drifter, hinting that it could be the chosen name. Nicole conveyed the boys’ excitement to welcome their new brother, acknowledging that managing four boys will be a fun challenge.
Nicole shared mixed feelings about her initial reaction to her pregnancy, as realization dawned about the commitments coming her way, but is now overjoyed about the announcement. Michael, she said, was overjoyed right from the start. Nicole emphasized that while motherhood demands many sacrifices, it’s worth it, and their soon-to-be-born son is the surprise blessing they didn’t know they needed.
The world extends warm wishes to Michael and Nicole Phelps as they prepare to welcome their fourth son into their family.
