After splitting in late 2011, the couple rekindled their romance in 2014. Phelps has been working hard to overcome his demons and find his way back to the swimming pool after two DUI arrests, a stint in treatment and a six-month suspension from competing. “I feel like I am okay and I am happy with who I am,” he said. “I feel like I’ve learned so much about myself, who I truly am. I can honestly say there aren’t many people who have seen who I really am.” Luckily, the little guy will be born just in time to cheer on dad if he does indeed make it to the 2016 summer Olympic games in Rio.
