Michael Phelps secretly married Nicole Johnson months ago in Arizona
It looks like Michael Phelps has earned another gold medal again as a wedding gift. The most decorated Olympian on the planet has yet to be seen sporting a wedding ring, but according to reports, he and his longtime girlfriend Nicole Johnson are now married.
PEOPLE confirmed, after obtaining a copy of their record of marriage, that the couple underwent marriage rites in a secret ceremony on June 13 in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
Phelps' agent, Drew Johnson, and his mother Debbie Phelps did not agree to respond immediately. Phelps' sister Hillary did not respond to an email or a voicemail message, reported by The Baltimore Sun.
During the Rio Olympics in August, Phelps told people that the couple had a date set for a wedding. The happy news is exactly not surprising, however, if it's true that the wedding took place two months before their announcement.
On the same day in June when the wedding allegedly proceeded, Johnson changed her Instagram name to "Nicole Michele Johnson," and a photo with a memorable quote as a caption was underlined, "Such a memorable night with my Lil fambam."
The ceremony was organized by the agent and his close friend Peter Carlisle. Carlisle's Instagram account shows a photo with Phelps, Johnson, and their six month-old baby boy, Boomer Phelps, reported by TMZ.
While in Rio Olympics, Johnson spoke to Access Hollywood about their wedding plans and started and said: "It's the next big milestone I'm looking forward to."
Johnson blamed their relationship turbulence on "bad timing" and according to Access Hollywood, he confirms that they had a date.
Their marriage ceremony would be "small and intimate", but they had planned for a larger ceremony will be held at some point.
In February they welcomed their newborn baby Boomer. Johnson and Boomer memorably attended the Rio Olympics and cheered on Phelps to pick up a record-breaking 23rd gold medal.
Congratulations are in order for the couple, should the rumors be proven true.
