Ryan Lochte is dishing on almost getting divorced a few years ago.
The 39-year-old Olympic swimmer and wife Kayla Rae Reid have been married since 2018 and have three children together, but things took a turn in 2021.
In that year, Ryan was competing for a spot on Team USA for the Tokyo Olympics, but failed to qualify, and it led to him going into a bout of depression, which also led to the problems in their marriage.
Ryan Lochte and his wife Kayla have shared some exciting news with fans.
On Wednesday (June 21), the 38-year-old Olympic swimmer and the 31-year-old model announced that they had welcomed their third child, a baby girl named Georgia June.
The couple are also parents to son Caiden, 5, and Liv, 3.
On Friday (December 9), the 38-year-old Olympic swimmer and wife Kayla announced that they are expecting their third child together. The pair are already parents to son Caiden, 4, and Liv, 3.
The 36-year-old Olympian has already won 12 medals throughout his career from swimming at four prior Olympics.
Ryan finished in seventh place in 200-meter individual medley at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials on Friday (June 18) in Omaha, Nebraska. Only the top two athletes move on to the Olympics.
“Swimming has taken me so far,” Ryan said during a press conference after the meet. “Coming out of the water, just what’s swimming’s done for me and my family is unbelievable. To me, the world’s greatest sport. Very emotional. I was kind of taking it all in. I really wanted to be on the Olympic team. I think this is probably my most important swim meet that I’ve ever had in my entire career, the one that meant the most to me. So falling short and feeling like I let everyone down was one of the hardest things.”
“But I had my family there, my kids, they got to watch their daddy swim, so I guess, you know, that means everything to me,” he added.

Ryan Lochte has revealed that he’s now estranged from his mom, Ileana.
The 36-year-old Olympian opened up in a new interview with In Depth with Graham Bensinger, sharing that his relationship with his mother isn’t what it once was.
Ryan explains that his parents’ divorce contributed to his feelings about his mom.
“At one point, we were all against someone, and then later on in life, it changed,” he says. “When it happened, it was — we were all on my mom’s side. But then later on in life, when I told her that she was going to be a grandma, and I’m having a kid she said some very, very hurtful things that kind of ended our relationship, me and her.”
Ryan didn’t reveal the actual things his mom said to him, but did say that “she just said some things to me and my wife, but I mean, I can get over it, but I just want an apology from her. And she said that she’ll never apologize.”
He and wife Kayla have two children together – Caiden, 3, and 15-month-old Liv.
While he might be estranged from his mom, Ryan says that he is now “closer than ever” with his dad, Steven, and also praised his stepmother: “How she treats me, my family, my dad. She’s the best.”
Just recently, Ryan revealed that he underwent appendicitis surgery during the pandemic. Here’s how it went…

“Wish me luck,” Ryan captioned the first selfie from his hospital bed while wearing a black face mask.
Ryan also shared a clip of his “moral support my boo” wife Kayla sitting at his bedside.
After the surgery, Ryan shared a video with breathing tubes in his nose and his eyes barely open, letting fans know that the surgery was a success.
“Hey everyone, surgery went amazing. I’m all good — I feel great right now,” Ryan said as he smiled at the camera, next showing a glimpse of his “post-surgery meal” of steak, french fries and a Caesar salad.
Ryan and Kayla married in January 2018 and share two kids: son Caiden, 3, and daughter Liv, 14 months.
