Kayla Rae Reid is stepping into a new chapter following her separation from Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte. In her latest interview, she shared the difficult realities of their current relationship, revealing that they’re not on good terms but committed to co-parenting their three children. Reid expressed her hopes that Lochte evolves into the father their kids deserve, while she invests time in building a positive life for herself and her family.
Since announcing her divorce in June 2025, Reid has focused on raising her children—Caiden, Liv, and Georgia—by practicing parallel parenting with Lochte, where they minimize direct interaction for the sake of harmony. Amid this transition, Reid launched a podcast titled“The Comeback Era”with her friend Caroline Lunny, aiming to inspire women who may also be facing personal challenges. Without a doubt, Reid’s journey is a reminder that sometimes it takes unraveling to find your strength.
As she reflects on who she was before the marriage, it’s evident that Reid isn’t just surviving; she’s striving to rediscover herself. Here’s to hoping that both loch and waves can smooth out for everyone involved!
