Michael Phelps brought his youngest son to his first Olympic basketball game! The 39-year-old, who has won 28 Olympic medals, was spotted with his wife Nicole and their 6-month-old son Nico, cheering for Team USA's women's basketball team. Michael and Nicole also have three other sons: Boomer, 8, Beckett, 6, and Maverick, 4.
The family was photographed on the sidelines during the Wednesday, August 7, game between Team USA and Nigeria. Team USA won 88-74 and is now moving on to the semi-finals against Australia.
Dressed in red, white, and blue, little Nico wore a T-shirt with stars, blue shorts, and blue protective headphones. Nicole, also 39, sported a red "USA" shirt and had her nails painted in patriotic colors, while Michael donned a blue "USA" hat.
In the sweet photos, both parents are seen helping Nico stand as he gazes at the court. The family was seated next to their longtime friend, Olympic swimmer Allison Schmitt.
Schmitt, 34, shared with PEOPLE that she's "helping out Nicole and Michael with Nico" in Paris, adding that she's thrilled to get "baby snuggles." Schmitt, who has won 10 Olympic medals, also posted photos with Nicole, Nico, Michael, Katie Ledecky, and the women's basketball team on her Instagram.
Nicole and Michael shared a few snapshots on their Instagram Stories, including a selfie with Nico and Schmitt. Michael reposted the photo and shared an adorable shot of Nico watching the game.
Michael also posted a series of photos from the game, captioning them, "Nicole n Nico's first @usabasketball game!!! Love watching these ladies make history!! Go USA 🇺🇸." The post included selfies with the basketball team, photos with Ledecky and Schmitt, and a sweet family selfie.
On August 1, Michael shared Instagram photos of the family exploring Paris, with Nico sporting a red beret, large headphones, and tiny overalls. Other photos captured the father-son duo in their hotel room, smiling in front of the Eiffel Tower, and watching the Games from the stands.
