The former American swimmer adores his family. He told NBC News in 2020 that
"It's so cool watching them just grow up, because it happened so fast."

Michael Phelps wants to be in the moment with his sons
In an interview with TODAY.com, Phelps said his 2024 resolution as a father is to be there in the moment as much as possible. The record-breaking swimmer shared that he feels like its the best him, his best version.
"I feel like I'm the best me, the best version of myself, when I'm present in the moment...and now having four little homies running around, I want to be as present and as active as I can in their life."
In regards to his struggles with mental health, Phelps said he has opened up and feels better. He highlighted:
"I literally just sat down and somebody asked me a question and that question triggered me. And I just went off - just unloaded absolutely everything."
Phelps, 38, pointed out that more people are coming forth and opening up about their struggles. He said their stories are similar, but different.
"Like Simone (Biles), me, Naomi (Osaka), and Kevin Love, The Rock. We can just talk about these things and share these things, you know, open up and understand it's OK not to be OK."
The former swimmer added that he wants to create a generational shift, where everyone can open up and talk about their struggles.
