The Phelps household, already bustling with the energy of their sons Boomer, Beckett, and Maverick, is filled with anticipation and excitement. Nicole shared how their children were particularly thrilled about meeting their new brother, even playfully suggesting the name ‘Drifter’ for him.

As they welcome young Nico, the Phelps family turns a new page in their story, one filled with more laughter, love, and the special kind of pandemonium that only a house full of boys can bring.
