US swimming star Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, on Sunday announced his engagement to Nicole Johnson, a former Miss California USA.
Phelps, a Maryland native, won 22 Olympic medals, 18 of them golds. He is eyeing a spot on the 2016 Olympic team.
"She said yes!!!!" Phelps, 29, posted on his Facebook page, along with a picture of him and Johnson playing in the snow.
Phelps' former Olympic teammate Allison Schmitt snapped the photo of Johnson and Phelps. A second picture Schmitt posted to her own Instagram account showed a beaming Johnson, 29, with a ring.
USA Swimming suspended him for six months following his September arrest in Maryland for drunken driving, and he pleaded guilty in December. Phelps also pleaded guilty in 2004 to driving under the influence of alcohol.
