Ryan Lochte's wife Kayla Reid says she's ‘broken' and demands support
In a series of social media posts and legal filings, Reid revealed Lochte's alleged $350,437 income from 2024 and demanded child support and alimony, RadarOnline.com reports.
Reid filed for divorce in March 2025, citing irreconcilable differences after seven years of marriage. The couple shares three children: Caiden, 7, Liv, 5, and Georgia, 1. In court documents, Reid requested sole parental responsibility, arguing shared custody would be harmful to their children.
The messy split has been accompanied by cryptic Instagram posts from Reid, including one stating, 'I didn't choose to be broken, but I'm choosing to rebuild.' She also claimed, 'Divorce isn't the end of my story. It's the beginning of my rebirth.'
Court documents show Reid earned $196,160 in 2024 as a realtor and influencer but said there's 'no guarantee' her income will continue at that level. Her request for financial support emphasizes Lochte's higher, more stable earnings and the family's reported $270,000 in debts.
Lochte responded with a counter-petition requesting shared custody, but raised eyebrows after incorrectly listing all three children's birth dates.
The divorce highlights the growing tension between the former couple as they navigate financial strain, custody disagreements, and the public eye.

Neeraj Chopra aims to give Indian athletics a boost with Classic meet
BENGALURU: Former Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra believes his eponymous javelin competition could be the catalyst that transforms India's athletics landscape, as the country prepares to host a world-class field event on Saturday. The inaugural edition of the Neeraj Chopra Classic will feature an impressive lineup including 2016 Olympic gold medallist Thomas Rohler, 2015 World champion Julius Yego, and Chopra himself alongside domestic talent. 'I never dreamt of this event as I had always thought of representing India and winning medals. Apart from the medals, I now feel that I have given something to India and its athletes,' Chopra told reporters on Friday ahead of the meet in Bengaluru. Chopra, who won gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and silver at the 2024 Paris Games, believes 'the event is just the start for many more international competitions to come to India' and has grander ambitions beyond Saturday's meet. 'We see so many competitions in Germany - A, B, C category, similarly I wish to see at least five to six such world-class competitions in India as well,' the 27-year-old said. Chopra breached the 90-metre mark with a 90.23 throw at the Doha Diamond League in May, while Yego holds the African record at 92.72m and Rohler's personal best stands at 93.90m. Chopra postpones javelin meet amid Pakistan, India conflict While the javelin throw may appear straightforward to the untrained eye, Rohler said it comes with unique pressures. 'Any 90-metre throw has a huge impact on the body … So it's really tough. We have to do the training for the impact and also for the technique. Doing it again and again is a mental challenge,' the German said. 'It's about dealing with the pressure from the outside. In 2012, you won the Olympic Games with 84m,' he added, referring to the mark by Keshorn Walcott of 84.58 that secured gold. 'Now people expect you to throw 90m, and if you don't do it, people ask you, was it a bad day? 'We need to see that the percentage of people in the world who have ever thrown over 90m is so small. If you look at a huge cricket team and if we talk about the top players, it's the same as comparing them to 90m in javelin.' The field will also showcase India's emerging talent - Sachin Yadav, Rohit Yadav, Sahil Silwal and Yashvir Singh - competing alongside international stars in what Chopra hopes will soon become a regular occurrence.

Liverpool and Portugal forward Diogo Jota and his brother died in a car crash in northwestern Spain. Photo: AFP/File Liverpool and Portugal forward Diogo Jota and his brother died in a car crash in northwestern Spain on Thursday, police said, weeks after the star got married. The Civil Guard said a vehicle veered off a motorway and burst into flames shortly after midnight in the municipality of Cernadilla in the province of Zamora, confirming the deaths of Jota, 28, and his brother Andre. "Everything points to the blowout of a tyre while it (the vehicle) was overtaking," the Civil Guard said in a statement. Portuguese football federation president Pedro Proenca wrote on social media that he was "devastated", calling Jota "an extraordinary person, respected by all his colleagues and opponents, someone blessed with an infectious joy and a reference for his own community". Proenca said they had asked UEFA for a minute's silence before Portugal's Women's Euro 2025 match against Spain in Switzerland on Thursday. "We have lost two champions. The death of Diogo and Andre Silva are irreparable losses for Portuguese football, and we will do everything possible to honour their legacy every day," Proenca added. Jota had married his partner Rute Cardoso on June 22, posting a video of their wedding on Instagram just hours before the accident. They had three children. The former Atletico Madrid, Porto and Wolverhampton Wanderers star scored nine goals in all competitions last season as Liverpool cruised to their 20th Premier League title. "Doesn't make any sense. Just now we were together in the National Team, just now you were married. To your family, to your wife and children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. R.I.P. Diogo and Andre We will all miss you," Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo said in his message.

Unilever impressed by Sydney Sweeney's bathwater soap, moves to acquire Dr. Squatch
Unilever has announced its acquisition of Dr. Squatch, the popular men's grooming brand known for its viral marketing campaigns. The deal, signed in June, is expected to close later this year, though the financial terms remain undisclosed. However, sources close to the matter suggest that Unilever will pay $1.5 billion for the brand, which was sold by private equity firm Summit Partners. Founded in 2013, Dr. Squatch quickly captured the attention of Gen Z men with its unique range of grooming products and collaborations with influencers and celebrities. Recently, the brand gained widespread attention for its partnership with actress Sydney Sweeney to release her signature 'bathwater' soap. The brand's success has been largely attributed to its social-first marketing strategies, limited-edition collaborations, and organic buzz generated through platforms like Instagram and TikTok. This acquisition marks a notable expansion for Unilever, which has a history of purchasing smaller, promising brands. Notably, Unilever acquired Dollar Shave Club (DSC) in 2016, another viral brand. However, the DSC acquisition eventually faltered as the company struggled to maintain its original appeal post-acquisition. According to Forbes, DSC's former CEO Larry Bodner stated that Unilever's corporate structure 'neutered' the brand's original vibe, ultimately leading to its sale in 2022 due to underperformance. For Dr. Squatch, Unilever faces several challenges. Maintaining the brand's independent, creative culture will be crucial to retaining its loyal customer base. Forbes' Ranjay Gulati suggests that successful startups rely on three pillars: purpose, customer connection, and employee autonomy. If Unilever can preserve these elements while scaling the brand, it may avoid the pitfalls that led to DSC's decline. As Unilever moves forward, it will need to carefully balance expansion with staying true to Dr. Squatch's identity to ensure the brand's continued success.
