Ryan Lochte’s divorce has turned ugly like an ex-boyfriend arguing

An Olympic gold medalist’s divorce rears its ugly head.

Ryan Lochte and his estranged wife, Kayla Reid, announced last summer that they would be divorcing after seven years of marriage.

They have three children together, and Lochte has since been dating Molly Gillihan.

And it is becoming quite clear that the women are not happy with each other – and Lochte is not happy with his estranged wife either.

In an Instagram story posted by Reid, Lochte reportedly emailed Reid that his new girlfriend is a “ten times better mom” than she is.

“Look at the offer I just sent your lawyer and get on with your gold digger life,” the former swimmer appeared to say in his email with the subject line, “Re: Children.”

“This is what I deal with every single day,” Reid wrote of the email on his Instagram story, via the New York Post.

“This is after I checked in on our 2 year old with strep throat. This is the tip of the iceberg and I am exhausted. My heart goes out to anyone navigating a similar situation. Tired of being constantly disrespected behind closed doors. Literally 2/1000 messages.”

That prompted Gillihan to call Reid a “child” while adding harsh allegations about one of the children.

“My answer? Every text and every DM… Every magazine. I’m sorry I don’t follow Ryan’s ex on insta. I really try and just focus on our kids when we have them. But you (Kayla Rae Reid Lochte) or whatever name you chose… dropped your two year old off at our place covered in throw up, no pants and rushed off as fast as a weekend in Miami,” he Gilli.

“You are a CHILD and I am exhausted by YOUR false narrative. Your followers love it and crave it. Your lies are for them. Shut up girl. They are putty in your hands! Meanwhile, I will love your children and mine until my last breath.”

Lochte and Reid announced in June that they were separating after seven years of marriage “after deep prayer and reflection,” she said. They have three children together.

“The past year has brought great change for both of us as we have come to the difficult decision to end our marriage. I am deeply grateful for the life we ​​have built together and especially for the love we share for our three children.” Lochte wrote on Instagram.

“I have the utmost respect for marriage, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing and challenging seasons of my life. I’ve been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds,” Reid wrote on Instagram at the time.

“Sometimes we are faced with trials that we did not choose or see coming. And in those moments we are forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children and our future. I have learned that staying is not always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love – for those around me and for myself.”

The divorce appeared to turn sour after Reid posted about “betrayal” weeks after their announcement.

The couple got engaged in 2016, the same year Lochte was involved in a controversial incident at a gas station during the Rio Olympics. Lochte initially claimed that he and his teammates were robbed at gunpoint, but it was determined that those with the guns were actually security guards at a gas station where the swimmers had urinated outside a bathroom.

Lochte eventually lost four major sponsorships, and USA Swimming suspended him for 10 months.
