You may be upset to hear that Michael Phelps will NOT be competing in the summer Olympic games this year.
The decorated swimmer has won 23 gold medals in past Olympic games, but this year, will be taking on a different role: swimming commentator for NBC!
“From the moment he joined our team at Trials, Michael‘s ability to provide insightful analysis, thoughtful commentary and tell entertaining stories was apparent,” Molly Solomon, the president of NBC Olympics Production and an executive producer, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have him join us in Tokyo and our audience will benefit from hearing the perspective of the most decorated Olympian of all time.”
You may not realize, Michael is a huge family man now and has a lovely wife and three sons!
We’ve compiled some cute family photos of Michael, his wife Nicole, and their kids Boomer, 5, Beckett, 3, and Maverick, who turns 2 in September.
If you don’t know, Michael and Nicole married in secret several years ago and broke the news to fans a few months later!
