Ryan Lochte's new girlfriend fires back over his ex-wife's ‘betrayal' claim
Kayla Rae Reid, Lochte's estranged wife, raised suspicions about what caused the couple's split after writing, 'Sometimes God allows the betrayal…because it leads to the breakthrough,' in a June 27 Instagram post.
But Molly Gillihan, who went official with Lochte over the holiday weekend on Instagram, has her new boyfriend's back.
'It's okay to be so happy that your heart could explode out of your chest and you want to shout it from the rooftops,' Gillihan wrote on her private Instagram account, according to TMZ Sports. 'If you've felt it, you know this to be true.
'We would not be here if we had anything to hide or if there had been any betrayal that occurred along the way. This little goofball came into my life patiently, sincerely, and honestly. I am choosing him. ♥️ @ryanlochte.'

Trinity Rodman wants Wimbledon announcers to stop talking about her dad
U.S. soccer star Trinity Rodman is at Wimbledon. Her father is not. But that hasn't stopped his name — Dennis Rodman — from coming up during coverage of the prestigious tennis tournament, which she has been attending in support of her boyfriend, Ben Shelton. On Monday, after Shelton defeated Italy's Lorenzo Sonego 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5 to advance to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time, Rodman took to her Instagram Story to express her frustration about the matter. 'For Ben's matches he has his family there as his support system, which includes his dad,' wrote Rodman, who is often shown on the broadcast sitting in the stands with Shelton's parents and his sister, Emma. 'my dads not even in MY life no need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don't even want him talked about during mine. It's him and his loved ones' moment. Thank you.' Named the NWSL rookie of the year in 2021, Rodman helped the Washington Spirit win its first league championship the same season. She also has made a name for herself with the U.S. women's national team, scoring three goals during the squad's run to Olympic gold last year in Paris. Rodman has made no secret of the fact that her father — a five-time NBA champion and basketball Hall of Famer — has not been a constant presence in her life. She spoke before the Olympics about his pattern of showing up occasionally — as he did for a 2021 NWSL playoff game — and then disappearing once again from her everyday life. 'Like I've said before, I've gotten closure with it all,' Rodman said at the time. 'I know he's proud of me. I truly do. He has his own things to deal with, but at the end of the day, he's communicated to me that he knows I was going to be here, and that's all I need.' In December, Rodman spoke more about her complicated relationship with her father and the 'anger' she often feels toward him. 'He's not a dad,' Rodman said. 'Maybe by blood but nothing else.'

Team captain Napheesa Collier takes Angel Reese with the third pick in the WNBA All-Star Game draft
NEW YORK — Caitlin Clark picked her Indiana teammate Aliyah Boston No. 1 while Napheesa Collier took her Unrivaled business partner Breanna Stewart first in the WNBA All-Star Game draft on Tuesday. Clark, who had the first overall pick by being No. 1 in the fan vote, had said Monday there was 'a high chance' that Boston and Kelsey Mitchell of the Fever would be on her team. Clark's other choices for starters were New York's Sabrina Ionescu, Las Vegas' A'ja Wilson and Phoenix's Satou Sabally, and she picked Mitchell as a reserve. 'I feel good. My team is very well-rounded. Love the team we have to start — the first five, I think we're off to a good start,' Clark said. Collier drafted Atlanta's Allisha Gray, Seattle's Nneka Ogwumike and Dallas rookie Paige Bueckers to complete her starting five. 'We're dynamic, got people that can score at all levels, a point guard,' Collier said. After Collier took Minnesota teammate Courtney Williams first in the reserve portion of the draft, Clark selected Mitchell. Two Seattle players went next with Skylar Diggins going to Collier and Gabby Williams to Clark, who passed up on the chance to draft fellow second-year player and longtime rival Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky. Clark and Reese teamed up during last season's All-Star Game that pitted the WNBA's best against the U.S. Olympic squad. The WNBA All-Stars won. Collier took Reese with the third pick in the reserve draft. Chicago Sky's Angel Reese named an WNBA All-Star for 2nd consecutive seasonShe rounded out her squad with Phoenix's Alyssa Thomas, Los Angeles' Kelsey Plum and Atlanta's Rhyne Howard. Clark also drafted Washington rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen, Las Vegas' Jackie Young and Golden State's Kayla Thornton. Williams, Citron, Iriafen and Thornton are making their All-Star debuts. When the draft was over, the captains traded coaches to put Cheryl Reeve of the Lynx back with her players, Collier and Williams. Reeve was coach of the U.S. Olympic team last season that won gold in Paris. Clark didn't make the squad and some people blamed Reeve for that, although the Lynx coach had nothing to do with the selection of players. Sandy Brondello of the New York Liberty will coach Clark's team. The game will be played on July 19 in Indianapolis.
