On December 3, Caeleb Dressel made headlines for clinching a grand victory at the 2023 US Open Championship. He won the 100m Butterfly race in Greensboro, North Carolina. This was his first grand victory after returning from his mental health break after a year.
While Caeleb was elated with his achievement, he was asked about his feelings about becoming a father.
He told NBC Sports:
"Yeah, no nerves yet. I'm sure it will come in as we get a little closer in February, but we're just excited. Yeah, toaster was my idea. I got to pick up my costume first. I told Meghan to work around the toaster."
Furthermore, he added:
"So yeah, really excited for that chapter of my life, very excited for that. Meghan stayed home, told her not to come. Just chill at home."
