Big brother, Boomer, originally announced the news on his Instagram handle in August:

So excited to see what mama is having!! Do I get to have a brother or a sister?!?

Since the announcement, the family has not slowed down. Phelps has been playing a huge role in advocating for mental health awareness and appeared in the film ‘Angst’. Of course, just before, Phelps was handed a tough loss from a shark, the Kids’ Choice Legend Award and his seventh and eighth ESPY Awards.
