US swimming legend great reveals how his model and wife Nicole Johnson broke the news of her second pregnancy recently


American swimming great Michael Phelps has spoken about how his pregnant wife Nicole Johnson recently told him that she's expecting their second child.

"I kind of had an idea that she could be pregnant... I could tell she was acting, not different or funny, but I could tell that she wanted to say something. Nicole had made this little journal for me of photos of just Boomer [his first son] and I, and photos of Nicole and I, and we just put like special moments in that little journal. I woke up one morning and she handed me the journal and said open it. I opened to the photo of them in the backyard with the pregnancy test. I was pumped," Phelps told US Weekly.

The 23-time Olympic gold medal-winner also spoke about his role in a new documentary titled Angst, where he speaks about his anxiety and depression. "For me, it was all about being vulnerable. I think it's scary for a lot of people to think about that word. I was to the point where I didn't like who I was. I didn't like looking at myself like seeing the reflection that you see in the mirror. I kind of just tackled it head-on."
