Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps was set for life after his successful run in the Olympics. Now, the retired Olympian can spend his days swimming around with his three kids! They have an affinity for water, of course, but Phelps has made it clear that he won't force them to do anything they don't want to. That's a true parent! 

Phelps married his wife, Nicole, and they had Boomer, Beckett, and Maverick. "I'm usually the first one up in the morning and get them going," Phelps says, "get breakfast, get one out the door for school three days a week, then whatever we have to do, if one wants to go to the aquarium or the zoo or something. We're constantly taking them on little field trips or just trying to show them different things." 

Magic Johnson

Magic Johnson is a true basketball legend. He's done so much for the sport and for causes close to his heart! He has three superstar kids: Andre, Elisa, and EJ.
