With over 20 Olympic gold medals in his array of accomplishments, Michael Phelps has yet again earned himself a gold medal in the form of his wife, Miss California USA 2010 Nicole Johnson.
The shocking news that instantly trended and broke the internet was the discovery that the two had already tied the knot a couple of months ago. It turns out that the 31-year old swimming champion secretly married his longtime girlfriend and fiance Nicole,31, at Paradise Valley, AZ, with Michael's agent and longtime friend Peter Carlisle as the marriage officiant.
The two announced their engagement February of 2015 and welcomed their first born child, Boomer, May of this year. Boomer was even present at the 2016 Olympic Games held at Rio which Michael shared was an emotional experience.
"Being able to have our first child witness my last Olympics ever, my last ever, I mean, it's just dream come true after dream come true," Phelps said.
It's incredible how the pair were able to keep this fact a secret since during the games, everyone was reporting that they were engaged, only to find out later that they were already married two months prior to the games.
ABC news was able to obtain a record of the marriage wherein Michael and Nicole got their marriage license on June 9th, got married on June 13th and filed for their record of marriage on June 15th.
A source from TMZ was able to find a clue to their secret marriage by way of Nicole's Instagram post on June 13, the day they allegedly got married. The picture showed Michael with Nicole carrying their son Boomer and captioned it,"Such a memorable night with my lil fambam."
Phelps and Johnson are still mum and has yet to comment on this discovery.
