Lochte's Fiancée, Ex-Wife Clash Over Kids Online
20 Oct
Summary
- Ryan Lochte's fiancée and ex-wife are publicly feuding on social media.
- The dispute centers on custody arrangements and discussions about Lochte's children.
- Lochte intervened, urging an end to online bullying and smear campaigns.
Swimmer Ryan Lochte has been drawn into a public dispute between his fiancée, Molly Gillihan, and his ex-wife, Kayla Rae Reid. The conflict ignited when Gillihan discussed Lochte's custody arrangements for their three children on social media, stating they don't see them enough. Reid quickly responded, refuting Gillihan's claims and accusing her of seeking attention and interfering in family matters. She emphasized her primary role in parenting and financially supporting the children.
Lochte himself has now weighed in, stating he and Gillihan miss the children greatly and cannot control the narrative Reid has created. He deleted a prior social media response at Gillihan's request, highlighting the damaging effects of public shaming and online bullying, drawing parallels to his own severe mental health crisis in 2016. Reid, in turn, criticized Gillihan's perceived lack of respect and boundaries, particularly given her previous marriages, and stressed her desire to be left alone to raise her children.
