NEW YORK — The secret wedding was sort of, mostly — yes, really! — because of little Boomer and his last name, Phelps.
See, Boomer was traveling the country and world with his mother, Nicole Johnson. But it wasn’t that easy.
“We wanted to try to make it as smooth as we could for them to travel,” said Michael Phelps, 28-time Olympic medalist on Monday night.
So, he and Nicole, his fiancee, had a small, private ceremony in their backyard to make things official; she’d become a Phelps, prior to the 2016 Olympics and travel to Rio de Janeiro.
