Ryan Lochte’s New Girlfriend Denies Betrayal Claims Amid Divorce

Ryan Lochte and his estranged wife Kayla Rae Reid, who share three children, announced their divorce last month after seven years of marriage. Reid, a former Playboy model, hinted at feelings of betrayal in a June Instagram post, suggesting infidelity contributed to the split. However, Lochte's new girlfriend, Molly Gillihan, publicly denied any betrayal, stating their relationship began patiently and honestly, and defended Lochte against Reid's implications. The couple went Instagram official over the Fourth of July weekend, with Gillihan responding directly to Reid's comments through a private social media message asserting there was no betrayal involved. Sources close to the couple have suggested Lochte's infidelity strained the marriage, but Gillihan's public statements indicate a desire to dismiss those claims. The situation has drawn public attention due to the quick transition from Lochte's marriage to his new relationship and conflicting narratives from both women.
