Ryan Lochte's 'betrayed' wife Kayla reveals his six-figure income as bitter divorce feud continues
Ryan Lochte 's six-figure income has been revealed by his 'betrayed' wife Kayla Reid as she requests child support and alimony for the couple's three kids amid their bitter divorce dispute.
Reid announced earlier this month that she had filed for divorce from the six-time gold medalist in March, after seven years of marriage.
At the time, the former Playboy playmate branded the divorce 'painful' and referenced 'trials we didn't choose or see coming', while Lochte said he was 'deeply grateful for the life we've built together'. Neither revealed exactly what led to their marriage becoming 'irretrievably broken'.
Now, their splitting of assets has seen Reid submit court documents stating Lochte's annual income of 2024 as $350,437, per Us.
Reid has a reported net worth of $102,940.06, with her work as a relator and social-media influencer earning her $196,160 before taxes last year.
After federal and state taxes have been taken out, Reid is left with $11,997 in monthly income, not covering her monthly expenses of $17,091.92, a deficit of over $60,000 a year.
Reid also stated in court documents that 'there is no guarantee' she will continue at that level of income.
An additional wage of $1,500 per month help with social media pages for her employer was paid out last year, but has not continued in 2025.
Reid also revealed more than $5,000 in debt to multiple places - Discover Card, American Airlines, and clothing store T.J. Maxx.
A court has yet to rule on the matter between Lochte, 40, and Reid, as their divorce continues to play out over a months-long saga.
As revealed by the Daily Mail, however, the couple owe nearly $270,000 in various debts, while they are also fighting over the custody of their three children - Caiden Zane, seven, Liv Rae, five, and Georgia June, one.
Earlier this week, Reid, 34, took to social media to post cryptic comments about the divorce, including that she is 'stepping into the best chapter of her life'.
The former Playboy playmate posted a series of pictures and videos alongside 'reminders' of what she is 'telling herself right now'.
'Sometimes God allows the betrayal... because it leads to the breakthrough,' one read.
Kayla's petition for divorce, filed in Florida, asked the court for 'sole parenting responsibility'
'Divorce isn't the end of my story. It's the beginning of my rebirth... I didn't choose to be broken, but I'm choosing to rebuild.'
She added: 'You're stepping into the best chapter of your life - you just have to heal first... most people have no idea what I've endured. Ignore their opinions. Truth always reveals itself.'
Kayla's petition for divorce, filed in north central Florida's Alachua County, asked the court for 'sole parenting responsibility' or at least 'ultimate decision-making authority' and 'majority timesharing,' Daily Mail previously reported.
'Wife is fit and proper to assume sole parental responsibility for the minor children of he parties. Shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the children,' her lawyers wrote.
However, Lochte responded by insisting it was in the best interests of Caiden, Liv and Georgia for their parents to share custody.
But his April 28 counter-petition, prepared by attorney Justin Jacobson, also included multiple errors when it came to details of their birthdays and places of birth.
Lochte said all three were born in May but – as Kayla pointed out in a subsequent filing – Caiden was born June 8, 2017, Liv was born June 17, 2019, and Georgia was born June 21, 2023.
The gold medalist swimmer and former Playboy Playmate tied the knot in Palm Springs, California, in January 2018, after previously going public with their relationship in 2016.

Kristin Cavallari shocks fans with bombshell claim about her estranged father
Kristin Cavallari claimed that her father once 'traumatized' her son while opening up about their years-long estrangement. The reality TV personality, 38, revealed that she has not talked to her dad Dennis Cavallari in three years since they became estranged. This comes just weeks after she admitted that there is 'not one day where I miss him' and added that the 'best decision' she's ever made was 'cutting him out of [her] life.' 'I always had a rough relationship with my dad,' the Hills alum said while sharing more details about their estrangement on Harry Jowsey 's podcast Boyfriend Material this week. The mother of three also claimed on the podcast episode that her father 'crossed the line with one of my boys.' Cavallari shares two sons, Camden, 12, and Jaxon, 10, and nine-year-old daughter Saylor with her ex-husband Jay Cutler. The fashion designer continued: 'That's a deal breaker for me, especially when he had zero accountability and no apology. 'He traumatized my kids,' she alleged. 'And I have no room for that in my life, and so that was it.' She also discussed how she would handle the situation if it were the other way around, admitting that she sees herself trying to 'do everything imaginable' to make amends. 'To be honest with you, as a mom, if I had a kid and I really f***ed up with my kid and they wanted to cut me out of their life, I would do everything imaginable to not let that happen,' she said. 'I would be like, "I am so f***ing sorry." Showing up at your house, like, doing everything imaginable and my dad in a lot of ways was like, "OK."' She claimed that her dad 'hasn't tried' to mend their relationship and added that their estrangement did not have to do with addiction issues. Cavallari then accused her father of being an alleged 'narcissist,' who has taken 'zero accountability,' before suggesting that he believes she is to blame for their falling out. Cavallari previously opened up about her and her dad's relationship during an episode of her podcast with psychologist Dr. Sherrie Campbell in December 2023. 'I actually didn't even realize that my dad was a narcissist until I was an adult,' she said. At the time, she talked vaguely about the incident that caused their estrangement. 'I can take the abuse. I have my whole life. But it's like, when you start now messing with my kids, I'm not doing it.' Earlier this month, the Wild Cherry actress told People that her father would 'gaslight' her, so she dissolved their relationship. 'I don't have time for that anymore,' she explained. 'If someone's not bringing you joy, if people are only bringing you hurt and sadness and anger, what is the point? Even if it's a parent, life's too short.' While appearing on Bunny Xo's Dumb Blonde podcast in December, she referred to her father as a 'typical narcissist,' and said she turned to drugs and alcohol to cope. 'The only way I found a connection was with my boyfriend. I didn't have a connection at home,' she explained. Cavallari said the break with her dad and her divorce from Cutler have made her stronger. 'I had to get very real with myself about the lack of self-love that I had, and I had to find self-love and build myself up again,' she explained. 'I finally, for the first time in my life, do love myself. I love my life. I've really worked hard to cultivate this peace and this happiness.' The reality star took her own podcast, Let's Be Honest, on the road to film her new docuseries. Episodes of Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour premiere on E! every Wednesday, with streaming available on Peacock the next day.

Donald Trump makes his return to Disney World ride with new speaking role
Donald Trump has made a centerstage return to Disney World's freshly reopened Hall of Presidents - with a new and improved look from his first term. The animatronic political attraction in Magic Kingdom discreetly opened its doors on Sunday morning after being closed for five months. It shuttered on January 20 after Trump was inaugurated into his second term. The display shuts down after every presidential transition so Disney can update the show. Disney World did not announce the well-known display's sudden reopening - leaving both guests and employees confused. Cast members inside the Hall of Presidents' theater on Sunday morning told The Park Place they had no clue the show was returning and only found out when they came to work. Other than Trump's animatronic having a speaking role, no major changes have been made to the mechanized performance. The 20-minute demonstration begins with a narrated history lesson featuring all the country's former commander-in-chiefs, with Joe Biden's robot seen on stage behind Trump. A robotic Abraham Lincoln recites the Gettysburg Address, followed by a speech from George Washington. This time around, those invested in Disney's portrayal of the president have noticed the robotic figure has been upgraded to bear more resemble to the real life Trump The realistic Trump figure, situated in the middle of all the presidents, then gives his oath of office speech while mimicking Trump's hand gestures and mannerisms. He states: 'I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God.' When Trump was elected for his first term, people accused the theme park of creating a Hillary Clinton animatronic and sloppily switching it to Trump after she lost the 2016 election. Critics on pointed out how the robot meant to look like Trump looked far more like Clinton. 'Here (sic) me out on this. Clearly Disney had Hilary's (sic) robot ready to go and then had to try to make it look like Trump,' one user wrote on X, which was Twitter at the time. 'Don't hate me. This is just a necessary and painful fact we all need to deal with.' 'The more I see of Disney's 'Hall of Presidents' Trump, the more I'm convinced they made a Hillary one first and had to redo it,' another user agreed. 'Disney was so sure Hillary would win they just made a Hillary robot for their hall of presidents and when Trump won they just put a trump skin over it and it looks like something straight from hell,' someone joked. This time around, those invested in Disney's portrayal of the president have noticed the figure has been upgraded to better resemble to the real life Trump. 'Damn. I will miss Hilary (sic) Trump,' one person joked on X, as another added 'I guess that's an improvement.' 'AA [audio animatronic] was fixed and looks much much better now,' one man agreed. 'Maybe they could update the animatronic to better look like him. The last one they did was poorly done,' a user, who had not yet seen the new version, asserted.

NFL quarterback has to be held back by security after getting into ugly fight while coaching youth football game
Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Geno Smith had to be held back by security during an ugly fight while coaching a youth football game this weekend in Florida. Smith, who is coaching the South Florida Express, a national-championship 7-on-7 football team, in his time away from the NFL, got heated on the sidelines during Saturday night's game. The game, which aired live on NFL Network due to having several blue-chip recruits playing, took place at a local high school against Raw Miami. The Express won the game 38-21 but the lasting image was Smith's sideline confrontation. Smith was shouting at someone off camera, with security not letting the Raiders starter get physical. 'That's why they pay me the big bucks, that's why I get paid the big bucks,' Smith shouted. 'That's why they bring the big bucks to me, that's why they pay me the big bucks. That's why they pay me the big bucks! Smith signed a 2-year, $75million contract with the Raiders. It's safe to say that counts as big bucks. Geno Smith was not the only gridiron star to be at the 7-on-7 clash, with Ohio State phenom Jeremiah Smith also at the game. Jeremiah played for the South Florida Express before becoming arguably the best player in college football. Geno is now the starter for the Raiders, who was courted to Las Vegas by Tom Brady and Pete Carroll. He'll have massive expectations on him competing in the AFC West, a division with fellow starting quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert. It's clear Smith is as confident as ever, with training camp starting next month.
