Washington: There`s more gold coming for Olympic record-setting swim star Michael Phelps. But this time, it`s a wedding ring.
Phelps, 29, and his new fiancee Nicole Johnson, a 2010 Miss California pageant champion, posted pictures to Instagram shortly after the proposal.
The two are seen rolling around in the snow and Johnson is sporting a large ring on her left hand.
"She said yes," Phelps wrote on Twitter and Instagram.
"I`m going to be a Mrs," Johnson wrote.
Phelps won a stunning eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and retired after the 2012 London Olympics, only to make a comeback last year.
Phelps won three gold medals at the Pan Pacific Championships last August but was arrested for drunken driving and is serving a six-month suspension from USA Swimming that will expire in April.
While Phelps has agreed not to compete at this year`s world championships in Russia, he will return to competition at a meet in Arizona from April 15-18.
