Ryan Lochte Gushes Over Kayla Rae Reid, Shares Proposal Secrets
Ryan Lochte may have earned 12 medals over an impressive Olympic swimming career, but the controversial athlete has never felt more like a winner than he does right now.
Why?
Because Lochte proposed to his girlfriend of about nine months over the weekend… and Kayla Rae Reid said yes!
The news went viral on Monday, with both the athlete and the former Playmate of the Month (July 2015) sharing photos from the proposal.
“Memories forever!!! #thelochtes #LA,” Lochte wrote as the caption to his image, while Reid added:
“Speechless. Absolutely beautiful. So in love with YOU.”
A day after his life-altering question was popped and answered, Lochte spoke backstage at Dancing With the Stars, gusing over his new fiancee and revealing precisely how he was feeling just prior to getting engaged.
In short?
It sounds like Lochte felt more pressure being down on one knee than he felt in any Olympic starting block.
“I couldn’t really focus, I couldn’t concentrate,” Lochte told Us Weekly of trying to practice for the ABC competition hours before the proposal. “I’m just happy everything worked out.”
It sure did.
As for details of the romantic proposal, Lochte was happy to spill a few secrets now that it was done and over with.
“We were in a helicopter and we went down around West Hollywood and Hollywood, and then we flew over Santa Monica and the pier, and we went up the coast in the helicopter,” Lochte explained.
He continued;
“Then they landed us on top of a mountain in Malibu, and on the mountain there was a picnic that had roses and champagne, and she was like, ‘What’s going on?’
“And so we got out and that’s when I got down on one knee. But I was messing up! I had practiced it so many times in my bathroom, I had my suit, my jacket on, and I was pulling the ring out, and everything was perfect.
“Then when it actually happened I couldn’t get the ring out of my pocket and I was stumbling over all of my words! And I was just so clammy and nervous – but then I finally got the courage to ask, ‘Will you marry me?’
“And she said yes! And I was like, ‘Yeah! My life is complete!"”
Wow. Nice. Sort of makes us with Ryan Lochte had proposed to us!
Not much was known about Kayla Rae Reid prior to news of her engagement making headlines yesterday.
Yes, she flew to Brazil and cheered Lochte on this summer, but the two kept their relationship on such a down low that Lochte joked prior to the Olympics that he was on Tinder.
You can get to know Reid a lot better below, however:
Lochte and Reid started dating in March.
Things turned very serious very quickly.
The swimmer went through some very challenging times over the past few months, being caught in a lie about an armed robbery in Brazil and then getting suspended for 10 months due to these actions.
But there was a silver lining to this low point: it solidified his relationship with his now-fiancee.
“She’s stuck behind me this whole entire time when I was at my darkest point and she was my rock,” Lochte says. “That’s when I knew, I’m not letting this one go!”
Lochte, meanwhile, is still alive on Dancing with the Stars.

Ben Affleck on Co-Parenting With Jennifer Garner: We Try!
It’s been 18 months since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner separated following a decade of marriage.
At first it seemed to be the typical Hollywood separation – rumors of infidelity and excessive boozing, conflicting reports from both sides, etc.
But then, something happened that no one could have predicted…
Weeks passed by, then months, and still neither party filed for divorce.
So here we are, a year and a half later, still talking about Ben and Jen’s marriage, which appears to have been brought back from the dead.
Of course, when discussing their relationship publicly, neither Affleck nor Garner makes any promises about the future, or even confirms that they’re still living together.
It’s a tough tightrope to walk, especially when one has an endless slate of projects to promote, as Affleck seemingly always does.
These days, Ben is plugging The Accountant, which appears to be his answer to the question, “Hey, what if the Jason Bourne movies had the world’s most boring title?”
At a recent premiere event, Lauren Zima of Entertainment Tonight asked Ben about the task of co-parenting with his estranged wife.
Like a master of media manipulation, Affleck gamely answered the question without giving away any new information about his marital status:
“We do our best,” the actor said. “We try our best.”
He then seamlessly transitioned into self-deprecating goofy-dad mode:
“My areas of expertise with the kids [are] spotty at best,” Affleck said.
“Not homework. I only play an accountant in the movie. In real life, I’m badly wanting.”
This is a master class, folks.
Once Ben starts ragging on himself for sucking at long division, Zima would look like an a-hole if she steered the conversation back to his marriage.
It’s the sort of media savvy that only comes from a couple decades in the spotlight.
Affleck doubled down on his approach when asked what items he has to have in his trailer during shooting.
“[It’s] mostly stuff from my kids,” he said.
“It’s the only personal stuff I have — the drawings and art. It’s a good place to hang up the latest artwork to come out of school.”
He knows it’s night-impossible to steer an interview from cutesy kid stuff to rumors that he’s moving back in with Garner.
The guy knows that he’s doing.
They don’t let just anyone be the Batman, ya know?
