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

October 3rd, 2008 at 4:33 pm

October 3rd, 2008 at 4:51 pm
my heart just broke
haha well i hope they are happy together :)
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Boy, he does not look like a happy camper in that pic from BWI.
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:47 pm
ooohh la la
October 3rd, 2008 at 5:52 pm
hey dawnj
No he does not.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:00 pm
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.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:13 pm
They’re in Baltimore at BWI, not Boston. He’s bringing her home, it must be serious!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:13 pm
This is the girl that told People mag “they are just good friends” during the Olympics, why the hiding/lying?
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:18 pm
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.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Yes, T&K. That’s the same “sucking on lemons” look he had when his googles filled up with water during the 200m fly.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:34 pm
seriously if he would give some acknowledgement of his relationship with her ..i think it would be awesome.
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:36 pm
ohhh… oh that’s so sad :(
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:52 pm
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.
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:00 pm
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.
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:39 pm
nicole look like vennessa minnilo
October 3rd, 2008 at 7:43 pm
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.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
awww… if this is true.. i think that is quite a cute couple. very very cute.
October 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 pm
MY LIFE IS OVER! I LOVE HIM…..
October 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 pm
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.
October 4th, 2008 at 12:00 am
mmm makes me wonder how big his …is! what a lucky girl id do anything to have that inside me!
October 4th, 2008 at 12:11 am
[...] See the original post [...]
October 4th, 2008 at 12:14 am
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?
October 4th, 2008 at 12:46 am
what a surprise, he’s a modelizer too- who would have thought?!
October 4th, 2008 at 7:20 am
Jealoussss… LOL.
October 4th, 2008 at 7:50 am
They are cute together… She seems a latino girl, stunning girl!
Lucky lucky Nicole… Ok… Ryan Lochte… now or never! xD
October 4th, 2008 at 9:55 am
A beauty queen runner up? So, she’ll be running for Vice President in 20 years, too?
First Dude Phelps!
October 4th, 2008 at 10:32 am
I was still hoping Lindsay would leave Sam for him.
October 4th, 2008 at 10:35 am
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?
October 4th, 2008 at 11:45 am
hi: if that’s true… that’s a bad thing… two girls?! o_O
hehehe
October 4th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
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
October 4th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
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.)
October 4th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
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
October 4th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
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..:-)
October 4th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
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.
October 4th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
“toocute,” maybe you should read the whole thread before commenting, if you’re so confused. Just a thought.
October 4th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
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!
October 4th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
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.
October 4th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
That’s not an unlikely possibility. stranger things has happen.
October 4th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
I KNEW IT! I found those pictures since the Olympic! I actually thought it was his college gf.
October 4th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
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)
October 4th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
EP those pictures where from her facebook that now convientantly has been deleted. i read they’ve been together for over a year now.
October 4th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
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.
October 4th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
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.
October 4th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
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.
October 4th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
crap if that’s your real name it is mine as well…..
October 4th, 2008 at 6:56 pm

October 4th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
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.
October 4th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
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.
October 4th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
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.!
October 4th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Or better yet! is it a case of “low self esteem”…perhaps that’s it! hmmm?!
October 4th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Ok now this section is about the latest gossip on michael & nicole so girls lets make this friendly…:-)
October 4th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
your absolutely right mistymay! so i bid you goodnight! :-P
October 4th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
OMG I’M PATHERIC!!! LOL…
October 4th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
hey h4irspr4y were have you been? we got some good stuff..
October 5th, 2008 at 3:08 am
Tell me TomandKatie Tell me !!! :)
October 5th, 2008 at 4:49 am
@ 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/
October 5th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
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.
October 5th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
called security to complain about what? more importantly, was nicole spotted in his box???
October 9th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
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
October 14th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
hi
October 14th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
michael is a great dude. he earned what he deserves
October 15th, 2008 at 10:59 am
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?
January 21st, 2009 at 7:07 pm
