He also added the hashtag #familyof4now. His wife also posted a picture, and wrote: "Our family grew by 1 yesterday. Meet Beckett Richard Phelps. I'm surrounded by boys and I couldn't be happier."

The couple often take to their social media sites to upload various cute pictures of their son. In 2016, the sports star - who retired as the most decorated Olympian of all time - talked about the idea of giving Boomer a little sister. "We would love a girl," he told People magazine. "Love, love, love a girl. We wanted a boy first, just in case we did have other children, [so] he could be the protector of his younger sibling or siblings." He continued: "So we started off on a perfect note: We got a boy. We got a beautiful, healthy baby boy, and we're looking to continue to grow our family."
