In addition to Nico, the couple, who wed in 2016, are also parents to three older sons: Boomer, Beckett and Maverick.
Michael Phelps told People magazine in 2021 that he especially treasures dinnertime with his family.
\"As a kid, I always wanted to have dinner as a family but with my parents separated, that didn't happen often,\" he said. \"I love how we have dinner every night together at the same exact time.\"
