The 23-time Olympic gold medalist and his wife got engaged in 2015 and married in 2016. Eight years later, the couple head up a household of boys, often sharing snapshots of their sons on social media and on the boys' individual Instagram accounts.
Speaking to People in 2021, Michael Phelps opened up about his favorite routine 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," Phelps explained. "I love how we have dinner every night together at the same exact time."
As a parent, he also shared that he tried to help his sons learn on how to communicate their feelings.
"They talk about their emotions," he told the outlet. "It gives me a lot of hope. I just want them to be as prepared as they can be."
