Phelps and Johnson got a marriage license on June 9 and then filed the Record of Marriage on June 15.

The 31-year-old swimmer announced his engagement to the former Miss California in February last year.

The couple met at the ESPYs in 2007 before breaking up in 2012. 

They later got back together and in May this year, the couple welcomed their son Boomer Robert Phelps.

Johnson and baby Boomer accompanied Phelps to the Olympics in Rio over the summer, where he won five gold medals and a silver.

They were regularly seen cheering him on from the stands, but media reports described Johnson as his fiancée.

Last week, Phelps answered questions from fans using Facebook Live and when one suggested he was already married, he denied it. 

'You guys can think what you want. This is my right hand,' Phelps said, despite raising what appeared to be his left hand with a black ring on his ring finger.
