Michael Phelps has taken some rocky routes when it comes to relationships, but he truly finally seems to be happy and settled down with fiancee Nicole Johnson.
Michael Phelps Engaged To One-Again, Off-Again Girlfriend
Phelps and Johnson were long time sweethearts, but struggled to stay together over the course of eight years. They had a will-they-or-won't-they dynamic that saw them take occasional breaks amidst career concerns and personal pressures.
During one such stint apart, Phelps famously dated a 'intersex' woman named Taylor Chandler. The revelation that Chandler had been born a male created constant tabloid fodder and a PR nightmare for Phelps.

Phelps spoke to USA Today this week, and explained in his own words how much getting back together with Johnson, and getting engaged, means to him.
“She [Johnson] was the one I loved the most," he said. "Obviously we worked through some things. There’s nobody in the world I would rather be with.
"It’s been a long time. We’ve been through a lot. But I love her to death. We’ve been able to grow as a couple through everything we’ve been through, the positive changes I’ve made in my life.”
