Ryan Lochte is getting married again. The 12-time Olympic medalist announced his engagement to girlfriend Molly Gillihan, nearly a year after his split from ex-wife Kayla Rae Reid became public.
The happy news was first reported by TMZ on June 19, 2026. According to the outlet, Lochte proposed at Prime and Pearl in Gainesville, Florida, the same restaurant where the couple had their first date.
Molly Gillihan is a kindergarten teacher and mother of three. She was born and raised in the Midwest and was previously married before her divorce was finalized in 2024.
The couple kept their relationship mostly private at first before making it Instagram official during the July 4 weekend in 2025. Since then, Gillihan has frequently appeared in Lochte’s social media posts, where he has shared glimpses of their family life together.
Lochte and Gillihan each have three children from previous relationships. They have built a blended family and are excited about their future together.
