Ryan Lochte and Kayla Reid Finalize Divorce: Settlement Details
American swimmer Ryan Lochte and his ex-wife Kayla Reid have officially finalized their divorce. According to the settlement, the marriage was dissolved on July 1, with terms covering custody, property, and finances. This marks the end of a high-profile relationship that has been in the media spotlight.
Under the agreement, Ryan Lochte will pay $1,000 per month in child support for their three children. Kayla retains primary custody, with the children living with her in Florida most of the year. She also keeps the marital home in Gainesville. Ryan has relocated to Missouri, where he lives with his fiancée Molly Gillihan and works as a coach at Missouri State University.
The settlement includes a privacy clause: neither parent may allow their new partner to post photos of the children on social media. If one parent violates the agreement and the other takes legal action, the violator must cover legal fees. This aims to protect the children from unwanted public attention.
Financially, Ryan is solely responsible for a $100,000 federal tax lien incurred during the marriage. Neither party will pay spousal support. The terms simplify their financial ties and allow both to move forward independently.
The divorce of Ryan Lochte and Kayla Reid closes a chapter that began in 2016. The couple married in 2018 but separated in 2023. Now, they focus on co-parenting across state lines. Fans continue to follow Lochte's career and personal life.
