While his life as an athlete is impressive, Phelps’ personal life has also captured the public’s attention. During the ESPY Awards, where he was honored with awards for Best Record-Breaking Performance and Best Male U.S. Olympic Athlete, Phelps shared his excitement about celebrating his accomplishments with his family. The awards ceremony holds a special significance for Phelps, as it was where he first met his wife, Nicole Johnson, over a decade ago.

Johnson, more than just a beauty, has been a constant source of support for Phelps. Since 2015, she has served as an Ambassador for the Michael Phelps Foundation, demonstrating her dedication to their shared passions.

With a background in modeling and beauty pageants, Johnson’s accolades include winning the title of Miss California USA in 2010, per VC Star. She also finished as a runner-up in the Miss California National Teenager 2004 competition and made it into the top 15 during her first Miss California USA attempt in 2006.
