00:00Ryan Lochte's estranged wife Kayla Reed blasted the former Olympic swimmer as not being a good
00:05father to their three children. The realtor and influencer broke her silence on their divorce,
00:10which still hasn't been finalized, after she filed in March 2025. The two were married for
00:16seven years before calling it quits. Reed told People Magazine about where she and Lochte currently
00:21stand. Obviously, we're not in a good place. I really pray that he becomes the father our kids
00:27deserve. Reed said she and her estranged husband try to have only minimal interaction with one
00:32another, noting she would love to be divorced. Their divorce has been tied up in court due to
00:38disagreements over finances and other matters, according to the outlet. It could be a long road
00:43ahead still, Reed acknowledged. Reed and Lochte share son Caden, age eight, and daughters Liv,
00:49six, and Georgia, two. The former model said the children are doing okay. Obviously, they have
00:55their little struggles, and they have their confusion, because they are wondering what's
00:59going on, she explained. The divorce has been tumultuous, with Reed previously hinting at
01:04betrayal and accusing him of doing drugs in front of their kids. Lochte later revealed he checked
01:10himself into rehab. He admitted that after his near-fatal 2023 car accident, he fell into a dark
01:16place that led him to depression, loneliness, and feeling like I was giving up on life, which led me down
01:22a road of substance abuse. The exes also garnered nearly $270,000 in debt amid their divorce,
01:30according to documents obtained by Page Six in June 2025. Lochte has since moved on romantically,
01:36and has moved in with his girlfriend, Molly Gillihan, and her three children last month,
01:41only nine months after Reed filed for divorce. The 12-time Olympic medalist told People he was
01:46focused on caring for his children. Quote, Everything I've done over the last 10 months
01:51has been about my kids, and becoming the best father I can be for them. That meant doing the work,
01:57going to rehab, rededicating my life to Christ, going to therapy, and making changes that put my
02:03children first. Because of that growth, I'm grateful to now have my kids 50% of the time, he added.
02:10Molly shared pointed social media post after the swimmer's estranged wife Kayla's parenting diss.
02:15Gillihan railed against harsh, unkind people via Instagram stories. Don't regret being a good
02:21person to them, read the upload she shared to her story. Your actions say everything about you,
02:26and their words and actions say everything about them. She also shared a smiling selfie of Gillihan
02:31and the Olympian on a drive with their combined six children. Last month, Lochte and Gillihan moved in
02:37together, and he explained to People why this was the right next step in the whirlwind romance.
02:42Our kids have formed an incredible bond, and it became clear that being together under one roof
02:47was the right next step for all of us. We needed a bigger home to support our blended family,
02:52and were focused on creating a loving, stable environment for all of our children.
