Double the love: Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson welcome baby No. 2

WASHINGTON — Michael Phelps and his wife, Nicole Johnson, got an early start to Valentine’s Day gifts this year.

Nicole, a former Miss California USA, gave birth to the couple’s second son, named Beckett, on Feb. 12.

Phelps posted a photo of the newborn baby on his Instagram page late Thursday night.

The couple’s first child, Boomer, was born in 2016.

Phelps, who grew up near Baltimore, Maryland, holds is the most decorated Olympic athlete of all time. He has won a total of 28 medals, including 23 golds, the most gold medals ever.

Phelps has said his Olympic career is over, but he did make some waves last summer when narrowly lost to a “great white shark” in an event on the Discovery Channel.
