Ryan Lochte Debuts New Relationship Amid Divorce

Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte has publicly debuted a new relationship with kindergarten teacher Molly Gillihan shortly after his wife, Kayla Rae Reid, filed for divorce after seven years of marriage. Reid cited irretrievable breakdown and trust issues, supported by allegations of Lochte's repeated betrayals and ongoing financial difficulties. Lochte and Gillihan state their relationship started only after he was served divorce papers, though questions about the timing remain. Reid described leaving as an 'act of love' to protect herself and their three children, focusing now on healing and independence. Lochte maintains respect for Reid as the mother of his children and denies infidelity claims. Both Lochte and Reid are requesting privacy as they move forward separately.
