WASHINGTON — Michael Phelps and his wife, Nicole Johnson, got an early start to Valentine’s Day gifts this year.

Nicole, a former Miss California USA, gave birth to the couple’s second son, named Beckett, on Feb. 12.

Phelps posted a photo of the newborn baby on his Instagram page late Thursday night.

Phelps has said his Olympic career is over, but he did make some waves last summer when narrowly lost to a “great white shark” in an event on the Discovery Channel.

Suspect in Taylor Swift Vienna concert attack plot convicted and sentenced to 15 years

WIENER NEUSTADT, Austria (AP) — An Austrian court on Thursday convicted a man of planning to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna nearly two years ago. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. The state court in Wiener Neustadt, south of the capital, found the 21-year-old defendant, an Austrian citizen known only as Beran A. in line with Austrian privacy rules, guilty on multiple charges including those related to the concert. The concert plot was thwarted, but Austrian authorities still canceled Swift’s three performances in August 2024. His defense attorney said Beran A. admitted to the charges related to the concert plot during the opening day of the trial last month.
