Michael Phelps Steps Out With His (New?) Girlfriend Nicole Johnson

The secret's out?

Well … it looks like the secret’s out. 14-time Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps appears to have finally gotten himself (or it has been revealed that he’s had) a girlfriend in Miss California runner-up Nicole Johnson. You may recall that Phelpsie would not confirm to People magazine that he had a girlfriend in his life … but it looks like the cat is out of the bag. Either he suddenly found the time to take on a girlfriend or he’s been keepin’ this lovely lady underwraps for some time. Here is a pic of Phelpsie and Nicole as they made their way thru Logan International Airport in Boston, MA yesterday — note how they appeared to keep a bit of distance between them perhaps in an attempt to throw us off the trail of their lurve:


Sure, they may not look very chummy in this pic but there are other pics where the two clearly look a whole lot closer. After the jump, check out a few of them …


Yep, they sure look coupley to me. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire … and where there’s a young hormonal Olympic athlete, there’s oftentimes a beauty queen contestant close by to help pass the time. Methinks that there’s a bit o’ lurvin’ going on between these two … but, of course, it’s merely speculation on my part. What do y’all think?

  3. its mel!

  4. Jocelyne

    my heart just broke

    haha well i hope they are happy together :)

  5. DawnJ

    Boy, he does not look like a happy camper in that pic from BWI.

  6. tuulli

    ooohh la la

  7. tomandkatie

    hey dawnj

    No he does not.

  8. lucyjuice

    i don’t get why he looks so upset? he’s famous now, paparazzo’s will snap one or two photos and print them on any magazine that will buy them. upload them as well on TMZ.

  9. Laur

    They’re in Baltimore at BWI, not Boston. He’s bringing her home, it must be serious!

  10. sandy

    This is the girl that told People mag “they are just good friends” during the Olympics, why the hiding/lying?

  11. lucyjuice

    i know tomorrow is his parade in baltiomore. YUP i think it is serious. not sure sandy why they are hiding/lying their relationship. it seems pointless to do so.

  12. DawnJ

    Yes, T&K. That’s the same “sucking on lemons” look he had when his googles filled up with water during the 200m fly.

  13. tomandkatie

    seriously if he would give some acknowledgement of his relationship with her ..i think it would be awesome.

  14. ohhh… oh that’s so sad :(

  15. Christine

    I honestly think that they are just really good friends and that’s all, considering that he told People that the most important woman in his life is his mom….Unless he’s lying, but he doesn’t come across as a liar to me.

  16. tomandkatie

    my opinion christine , i think he is lying about his relationship with nicole. i think she’s been in a few special events to just categorize her as just ‘friend’ ….now about his mom ,,oh absolutely !!! she’s the most important woman in his life ..i agree 100% on that one.

  17. chica

    nicole look like vennessa minnilo

  18. Kelly

    tomandkatie, I think it’s harsh to call him a liar. Michael is constantly saying in all interviews, on TV and in magazines, that the whole girlfriend thing is the only part of his life that he would like to keep private. I don’t blame him because everything in his life is pretty much out for the public. I kind of agree with Christine though because if he said his mom is the most important woman in his life, don’t you think that his girlfriend would be pissed? But that’s just my opinion.

  19. nicole

    awww… if this is true.. i think that is quite a cute couple. very very cute.

  20. sammi

    MY LIFE IS OVER! I LOVE HIM…..

  21. tomandkatie

    your right it is harsh! but in my opinion he should be consistent.in one aspect he’s sayin his private life is private( great i’m all for that)..then in another instance he’s sayin that he’s single -via twitter( don’t understand that part) ..so if he’s with her awesome who am i to say otherwise! but in all honesty he should stay consistent. it is his life and he could do as he wishes with it.just stay consistent.

  22. hello1

    mmm makes me wonder how big his …is! what a lucky girl id do anything to have that inside me!

  23. lauren

    Why do you say these two are most likely an item, but you wouldn’t say that about Lindsay and Sam until they confirmed it?

  24. free

    what a surprise, he’s a modelizer too- who would have thought?!

  25. Dez

    Jealoussss… LOL.

  26. JustMe

    They are cute together… She seems a latino girl, stunning girl!

    Lucky lucky Nicole… Ok… Ryan Lochte… now or never! xD

  27. A beauty queen runner up? So, she’ll be running for Vice President in 20 years, too?

    First Dude Phelps!

  28. julie

    I was still hoping Lindsay would leave Sam for him.

  29. hi

    not to throw things off or anytthing, but my boyfriend goes to Univ. of Mich and he saw Phelps there with a blonde bombshell, so he says … they look like they were together. Where was Miss Johnson then?

  30. JustMe

    hi: if that’s true… that’s a bad thing… two girls?! o_O

    hehehe

  31. h4irspr4y

    Hey all !

    Lindsay’s lesbian then she can’t date a man in the past it was just to hide that thing, now that gay marriage are allowed in california she tried to live her real life based on the real and completely truth life as a lesbian and if she’s happy with sam good for her.

    Now for Phelpsie, I’ll always think they are kinda best friends till I’ll see them kissing each other on the LIPS lol yeah If you’re in love with someone you’ll don’t hide your happyness you’ll want the others to see that your life is so good to live and that you”re the happiest person in the world lol

    Now what will we find out on the next episode ? lol
    Love ya’ll

  32. julie

    Wow, that makes almost no sense at all. I think what you’re trying to say is that Lindsay is a bona fide lesbian, and therefore incapable of dating men. Is that right? Because if so, I disagree – I think Lindsay is probably bisexual, but will end up back with men eventually. But this is all based on my best guess at whatever the hell it is you’re rambling incoherently about. (You might want to consider punctuating your sentences, for starters.)

  33. h4irspr4y

    the fact is, Lindsay is happier now than before she was with male. She doesn’t care about all the craps that others said about her relationship with Sam.

    But that’s not the subject. We have to keep talking about Phelpsie not about Lilo :D

  34. toocutie4u

    I’m not sure why lindsay & sam are being compared w/ Nicole and michael! whatever.! i say MP & Nicole have been dating for awhile and Mp will eventually speak about his beauty. hopefully soon. those are my thoughts..:-)

  35. toocute4u

    h4irspr4y i’m confused in what your trying to say ( no offense) ..back to MP: sure in the pictures he doesn’t look like he’s jumping for joy! but you have to remember he’s being sayin basically he’s private is his own! so if he’s tryin to keep that portion of his live out of the spot light…then he’ll be conservative when walking with her or being around her. I think just the fact that she’s with him right now in baltimore celebrating with him and his family speaks volumes.

  36. julie

    “toocute,” maybe you should read the whole thread before commenting, if you’re so confused. Just a thought.

  37. toocutie4u

    Calm down julie YOU DON’T intimidate nobody! this blog is for MP and MP only! …So before you judge people by the way they write or opinions they may have … RELAX and show respect for others!

  38. h4irspr4y

    Me I mean ‘ It’s not a shame to walk hand in hand ‘ and to be in a relationship. The thing is Why ? cause I don”t know what’s the problem to be dating a such beautiful girl, I’ll be proud to have happiness in my life. Or maybe she’s his BFF.

  39. toocutie4u

    That’s not an unlikely possibility. stranger things has happen.

  40. EP

    I KNEW IT! I found those pictures since the Olympic! I actually thought it was his college gf.

  41. toocutie4u

    Me thinks, he’s just not the ‘sharpest tool in the shed’. I read a blog today which for the life of me i cannot remember the name,anyways, apparently he’s admitted to the relationship. Not sure tho if it holds some truth to it. ( so please doonot quote me)

  42. toocutie4u

    EP those pictures where from her facebook that now convientantly has been deleted. i read they’ve been together for over a year now.

  43. solangela

    toocutie4u i’m going to agree with you on michael not being the “sharpest tool in the shed” the boy has been plastered every where for 2 months now and he still doesn’t get it.

  44. julie

    Gee, “toocute,” I wasn’t exactly trying to intimidate anyone. Just making a point, one which does relate to recent rumors about Phelps and Lohan. I’m sorry if my correct grammar and punctuation make you feel stupid.

  45. julie

    Julie Let it GO! this is a place to discuss MP.. NOT THE CHIP THAT YOU CARRY ON YOUR SHOULDER…and believe me nothing that you write nor express in anyway will make me feel stupid! infact you yourself is doing a fine job at that.

  46. toocute4u

    crap if that’s your real name it is mine as well…..

  47. toocute4u

    FOUND IT …..this is the blog that i was referring to ealier..

    http://www.hotornotgossip.com/blog/2008/10/michael-phelp-1.html

  48. julie

    You just keep looking less and less intelligent every time you post. I already explained how my comments were relevant. You were too busy mangling the English language to make the connection.

  49. mistymay

    I don’t think anyone in their right mind would ever believe michael and lohan being together!..that’s just gross..

    Lindsay looks like a crack whore in heat! he needs to stay with nicole if he wants his children to look half way decent.

  50. toocute4u

    Why explain anything? i already got the messege! you as lonely and patheric as they will come. it doesn’t matter julie, your not as important as you may think! despite of all your efforts in professing your PERFECT GRAMMAR ! you’re still patheric.!

  51. toocute4u

    Or better yet! is it a case of “low self esteem”…perhaps that’s it! hmmm?!

  52. mistymay

    Ok now this section is about the latest gossip on michael & nicole so girls lets make this friendly…:-)

  53. toocute4u

    your absolutely right mistymay! so i bid you goodnight! :-P

  54. julie

    OMG I’M PATHERIC!!! LOL…

  55. tomandkatie

    hey h4irspr4y were have you been? we got some good stuff..

  56. h4irspr4y

    Tell me TomandKatie Tell me !!! :)

  57. Lyna

    @ h4irspr4y you should head back to the goes for gold section.

    http://pinkisthenewblog.com/home/2008/08/michael-phelps-goes-for-more-than-the-gold/

  58. mickey

    Today at the Ravens game Phelps was there and was no hero or star. Wouldn’t sign alittle girls ticket, but did call securtity to complain.

  59. jessie

    called security to complain about what? more importantly, was nicole spotted in his box???

  60. holly9

    Don’t buy Nicole is his girlfriend. Except for the airport photo, others are a couple of years old. And why would a girlfriend put up with the playboy bunnies, his obvious flirting and hitting on other girls, strippers, etc. She wasn’t the only girl he was messing around with at the Bowlmor Lanes celebration. Kinda convenient she shows up all of a sudden, just admit it if she is so people will stop asking and leave him alone. Could be a friend with benefits. Wouldn’t you want the one you love watching you go for 8 gold medals? No sign or word she was there – whole thing is strange she shows up now

  61. JOJO

    michael is a great dude. he earned what he deserves

  62. randomjunk

    Listen up, Yes, nicole and Michael are in deed fucking and taking bubble baths together, how much more clear do you need it to be?

  63. megan

    HE IS SO UGLY, HE SHOULD BE GLAD THAT NICOLE VOLUTEERED TO TAKE THESE PHOTOS WITH HIM
    HE IS FUGLY…
