Michael Phelps has taken his infant son to his first Olympic basketball game!
The 28-time Olympic medalist, 39, was seen with his wife Nicole and their youngest son, Nico, 6 months, supporting Team USA’s women’s basketball team. Michael and Nicole also share sons Boomer, 8, Beckett, 6, and Maverick, 4.
The three were photographed on the sidelines of the Wednesday, Aug. 7 game between Team USA and Nigeria. The former defeated the latter with a final score of 88-74 and is now headed to the semi-finals against Australia.
The Phelps family was decked out in red, white and blue, with Nico wearing a tiny T-shirt with striped stars, blue shorts and protective blue headphones.
Meanwhile, Nicole, 39, had her nails painted in three colors on alternating nails. She wore a bright red shirt that read “USA,” while Michael wore a blue hat that read the same.
In the adorable photos, both parents are seen holding Nico in a standing position as he looks onto the basketball court. They were seated next to their longtime friend, Olympic swimmer Allison Schmitt.
Schmitt, 34, exclusively told PEOPLE that she’s “helping out Nicole and Michael with Nico” in Paris, adding, “I’m so happy I get my baby snuggles.”
Schmitt, a 10-time medalist, also shared a photo alongside Nicole and Nico on her Instagram, as well as a photo with Michael, Katie Ledecky and the women’s basketball team.
Nicole and Michael shared a few snapshots on their Instagram Stories as well. Nicole posted a selfie with her husband, Nico and Schmitt. Michael then reposted the photo to his Stories, before sharing an adorable photo of Nico watching the game.
Michael posted a series of photos of the game to his Instagram on Wednesday. “Nicole n Nico’s first @usabasketball game!!! Love watching these ladies make history!! Go USA 🇺🇸,” he captioned the post.
His carousel included selfies with the basketball team, photos with Ledecky and Schmitt and a sweet selfie with Nicole and Nico.
