"Is Michael Phelps -- now the most decorated Olympian in history, with 21 total medals and one final shot in a Saturday evening race -- ready to settle down with a nice young lady once his last Olympics are over?\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s only one person who knows that, and that&amp;apos;s the man upstairs,&amp;quot; his mother Debbie mused to Us Friday at a Subway in London. &amp;quot;I think he&amp;apos;s going to enjoy himself these next couple of years and just unwind.&amp;quot;\r\n(Phelps&amp;apos; teammate and rival Michael Lochte&amp;apos;s mom Ike sparked a mini-media frenzy when she quipped that the breakout swimmer only has time for &amp;quot;one night stands&amp;quot;; Lochte himself later told Us the quote was &amp;quot;taken out of context.&amp;quot;)\r\n\r\nWith both Phelps and Lochte medaling in the current Games, Debbie poo-poo&amp;apos;d talk of a rivalry between the two young men. &amp;quot;Both boys are from the east coast,&amp;quot; surmised Debbie. (She and Michael are &amp;quot;Subway Famous Fans.&amp;quot;). &amp;quot;Michael and Ryan always raced, so it&amp;apos;s nothing that&amp;apos;s abnormal . .  .they&amp;apos;re enjoying what they&amp;apos;re doing together.&amp;quot;\r\nWhile 27-year-old Michael told Us in London that he&amp;apos;s looking forward to trying out snowboarding and skiing, his mother predicts fans will see him in . . . soccer cleats?  &amp;quot;I think he&amp;apos;ll get on the international soccer circuit,&amp;quot; Debbi said. &amp;quot;He loves the big world stage.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAs for her son&amp;apos;s truly historic medal record? &amp;quot;I just want all three of my children to enjoy their lives and be able to set goals for themselves, to be able to achieve as many as they could,&amp;quot; she explained.  &amp;quot;Michael set his goals and I never knew what they were. It was always between he and his coach, but I knew the goals were being set and they were obtainable. He really worked so hard to obtain what he set out to do.&amp;quot;\r\nBut the poignancy of the London Games -- his very last Olympics -- aren&amp;apos;t lost on his proud mom.  &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m appreciating the swims that he does, because they&amp;apos;re his last ones . . . There is not an &amp;apos;again.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nWant more Olympics? Meet Team USA&amp;apos;s families, go inside their homes (and gyms!), and more!
