“I’ve gotten some photos of him — Boomer will be dressed to impress in the stands, that’s for sure."

Boomer’s mom is former Miss California Nicole Johnson.  She and Michael got engaged in February 2015 after 8 years of dating on and off.

"It’s been a really fun journey over the last couple of years, and a journey that I think has made me the person who I am and helped me transform to me just being me," Michael told USA Today a few months after their engagement.

"Nicole and I are so stoked."
