In addition, the couple shared the news on the Instagram pages they’ve created for their two sons.
“I asked mom for a new baby for Christmas last year and …. well my wish finally came true!!! I wonder if I’m gonna have little brother or a little sister? #P3,” the post on Boomer’s page read, while Beckett’s stated, “I’m not sure what this means but I was just told I’m promoted to Big Brother!! #P3.”

Phelps and Johnson have been married since June of 2016, and they have always been open about wanting a big family.
“We always talked about three, so second one is on the way. We’ll see what happens,” Phelps said in 2017. “We’re going man-to-man now, and it’s probably going to be more challenging.”
It will certainly be a challenge to have three young children, but it is sure to be incredibly rewarding. Congratulations, Michael and Nicole!
