The 18-time gold medalist entered rehab in October after getting a DUI. He was also suspended from swimming for six months.
"I understand the severity of my actions and take full responsibility," Phelps said in a statement at the time. "I know these words may not mean much right now but I am deeply sorry to everyone I have let down."
Well, congratulations to Phelps and Johnson on their engagement.
