Ryan Lochte is exiting the deep end when it comes to conversations about his marriage.
Two weeks after his wife Kayla Reid announced she had filed for divorce, the 12-time Olympic medalist shared he wouldn’t be engaging with claims about what led to the end of his marriage, including those from a supposed source close to the couple that alleged to People that Ryan had cheated on his wife.
“Kayla and I both wish to keep this matter private for many reasons, most importantly, to protect our children,” he told the outlet in response to the allegations, per a statement published June 18. “For that reason, I also won’t be commenting on this matter, or replying to allegations made by third parties.”
In addition, Ryan—who shares kids Caiden, 7, Liv, 6, and Georgia, 23 months, with Kayla—called their separation “a difficult and very personal time.”
Since the news of their divorce—which Kayla filed for in March, according to court documents obtained by People—more details have surfaced about the couple’s relationship, including that the Lochtes have allegedly accrued more than $270,000 in debt, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly.
