Michael Phelps has a swimming career that is nothing short of legendary. The 38-year-old has competed throughout his life to stand as the most decorated Olympian of all time with a total of 28 medals. Michael started his Olympic career as a 19-year-old contestant at 2004 Athens; where he tied the record for 8 medals of any color. The swimming champion has been an inspiration for all athletes. However, his kids are about to make the name “Phelps” known at a sport far from swimming.

Michael Phelps stands atop the summit of his sporting career and his kids are trying their hand, or rather their foot, at a sport from across the pond. Michael and his wife Nicole have been parents to three sons ever since they tied the knot in 2017. The couple is often photographed having precious family moments which further make their way into Nicole’s Instagram page. Keeping up, the couple has yet another update that cannot keep the fans from gushing over.

As hearts and flowers poured in the comments, people calling the duo cute had no limit. “So cute,” “Precious. Handsome boys,” “They are so darn cute !” and the love just flowed in. Interestingly, good old American Football has always had a presence in the family but not Soccer. Michael’s father played football back in college and even tried out for Washington Commanders. Michael is a big fan of the sport; he has attended various NFL games to show support for his hometown team Baltimore Ravens and the Michigan Wolverines in college. However, with history taking a different course, the Phelps family might see a newer sports field.
