Kayla Rae Reid, the ex-wife of former Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, compared the 12-time medalist to former NBA star Tristan Thompson in a discussion about Lochte's behavior during their marriage. Reid, 34, laid it all out on the Monday, March 2 episode of her "The Comeback Era" podcast. "Your technically still-husband is already living with his girlfriend," her co-host, Caroline Lunny told her. Lunny, 35, also accidentally referred to Lochte's girlfriend, Molly Gillihan, as his "mistress." (Lochte and Gillihan moved in together just seven months after he split with Reid.) Ryan Lochte Claims Ex Wants 'Pity,' Denies Cheating With New Girlfriend "I'm so happy for him," Reid replied, before making her not-so-subtle accusation. "They've been happy for a very long time. Very long time. For many years. They go way back." Lochte, 41, and Reid got married in 2018 after going public with their relationship during the 2016 Summer Olympics. Reid, a former Playboy playmate, filed for divorce in March 2025. They share three children: son Caiden, 8, and daughters Liv, 6, and Georgia, 2. Us Weekly has reached out to Lochte's representatives for comment. Reid added that she is "afraid of dating" because there were "a lot of women" messaging Lochte during their marriage. Olympian Ryan Lochte and Wife Kayla Split After 7 Years of Marriage "Sadly, it happened a lot," Reid said. "I noticed it happened while I was pregnant or postpartum." She continued, "You're at such a vulnerable place, you feel so uncomfortable in your own body, and you just want to feel beautiful and loved and catered to. But it's like he was fishing elsewhere." Lunny then brought up Khloe Kardashian as someone who was once in a similar position to Reid. Thompson, 34, was in a relationship with Kardashian, 41, in 2018, when he memorably cheated on her, just before their daughter, True, was born. Reid admitted that she "sobbed" after hearing Kardashian's story, and that she had "never related to someone's story so much." Ryan Lochte's Ex Reminds Herself to 'Survive' Then 'Thrive' Amid Divorce "I just felt so connected to her for some reason," Reid said regarding Thompson's betrayal of the reality TV star. "I know those feelings that she was feeling so much." As for Lochte, he has expressed his gratitude for still being able to spend time with his kids and stay sober through his divorce. "Everything I've done over the last 10 months has been about my kids and becoming the best father I can be for them," he told People in January, shortly after moving in with Gillihan. "That meant doing the work - going to rehab, rededicating my life to Christ, going to therapy and making changes that put my children first. Because of that growth, I'm grateful to now have my kids 50 percent of the time."
