Bar Refaeli and Shaun White have been the subject of dating rumors for months, but today the pair stepped out in public together to cheer on Michael Phelps in London.

Bar Refaeli and Shaun White have been the subject of dating rumors for months, but today the pair stepped out in public together to cheer on Michael Phelps in London. Bar and Shaun joined Michael's mother, Debbie, in the stands while Michael broke an Olympic record by winning his 19th medal.

Bar and Shaun kept a close eye on the water, though she was momentarily distracted by a parade of good-looking guys in spandex. It turns out Shaun was equally distracted yesterday while checking out the bikinis at the beach volleyball arena. He watched the action go down on the sand with tennis great John McEnroe while USA's Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor defeated the Czech Republic to win their second consecutive match — we're keeping track of all the action so be sure to check out the best photos from the 2012 Summer Olympics!

What Is Your Proudest Mom Moment?

It's hard to hear the amazing story of Debbie and Michael Phelps without getting teary eyed.

It's hard to hear the amazing story of Debbie and Michael Phelps without getting teary eyed. The single mother sacrificed so much for her son and he in turn made Olympic history. It's fitting that the talented athlete headed straight to the stands to hug her after medaling because before the world rooted for him, she did.
Now decorated with gold medallions and inundated with endorsement deals, one would never guess that Michael used to be a boy distracted by ADHD and Debbie was simply a mom trying to help her son navigate his way. As moms that is our job and while some children achieve their success in the public eye, all kids do amazing things. Whether it was when your daughter said her first word or your son won a relay race, what was your proudest mama moment thus far?

Gold Medal Mama Debbie Phelps

Golden boy Michael Phelps made Olympic history and his mama proud.

Golden boy Michael Phelps made Olympic history and his mama proud. Now, Debbie Phelps who has rooted her son on his entire life is being honored. People said:

Johnson's Baby has dubbed Debbie their "Mom of the Olympic Games" — and the company will donate money in her name to children's causes. (She'll also film a commercial for Johnson's on Wednesday.) The award came as a nice surprise for the middle school principal, who tells People, "I am so honored."

While the swimmer's achievements awe people all over the world, the wins are particularly inspiring for children with ADHD. The winningest Olympian was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at nine years old and got help. When teachers told his mother that Michael couldn't focus, she took them to task explaining that he spent hours in the swimming pool. Obviously, his passion paid off with 16 medals.
