However, as the following pictures emerged, the good news became quite evident, with one picture of the couple posing at a USC football game with the baby bump on full display as Mrs. Phelps stunned in a white shirt dress

Even at the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) Induction Ceremony later on, when he received the prestigious honor, Phelps made the announcement to the audience after receiving the award from his coach and mentor, Bob Bowman.
