Michael Phelps and his wife Nicole announced that their third child [1], another son, was born in September 2019, and we couldn't be more excited for their little growing family (all the photos of him have been adorable so far). In addition to their youngest, Michael and Nicole are parents to two older boys — all three boys have been born within about three years of each other! — so things are about to get very interesting in the Phelps home.
Meet their three boys — who look so much alike! — ahead, and see some of the family's cutest photos.
Boomer Robert Phelps
Born on May 5, 2016, Boomer is Michael and Nicole's firstborn son. At just 3 months old, Boomer got to see his dad swim at the Summer 2016 Olympics before his retirement. He might not remember it, but when he's older, he'll definitely realise how cool his dad is!
On Boomer's fourth birthday, Nicole shared a gallery of throwback birthday photos [3], writing: "Happy 4th Birthday Boomer 🎉🎈 You amaze me everyday with your intelligence and talents. Each birthday has brought so much love and laughter, I can't wait to see what today brings 🥰 I'll dig dinosaur bones up with you, ride bikes on the track, bake, paint, sing & dance all you want."
Beckett Richard Phelps
The middle Phelps child, Beckett, was born on Feb. 12, 2018. The first photo that Michael shared of his second son was too cute for words, as it featured Nicole and an excited Boomer who was meeting his baby brother for the first time [4].
On his second birthday, Nicole shared a sweet Instagram snap [5], writing: "Happy 2nd Birthday to our beautiful Beckett 💙 there's no one in this world like you.!! You currently love: monster trucks, books, the aquarium and the zoo." Michael added on his own account: "Happy bday @beckettrphelps [6] ! It's been an amazing ride thus far. Filled with memories, laughter and love. Can't wait to see what the next year brings!"
Maverick Nicolas Phelps
Born on Sept. 9, Maverick is the youngest Phelps boy and the first to be given a name that doesn't start with B! On his Instagram birth announcement, Michael wrote: "Family of 5! Welcome @mavericknphelps to the world! Born 9-9-19. Mama and baby are healthy and the boys are pumped to be big bros! #housefullofboys" So cute!
