MESA, Ariz. — Nearly four months remain until Michael Phelps swims his fifth — and final, he promises — Olympic Games.

But, more pressing and more important: Only about one month remains until the most decorated Olympian of all time becomes a father for the very first time.

Phelps’s fiancé, Nicole Johnson, is due in May and has proudly shown off her bump, otherwise known as Baby P, on social media for months.
