EXCLUSIVE Ryan Lochte's estranged wife Kayla Reid takes a swipe at the Olympic swimmer with family trip as she slams his embarrassing courtroom blunder
Ryan Lochte 's estranged wife brushed off her divorce drama with a luxe trip to Las Vegas – after scolding her swimmer ex for getting the birthdays of their three kids wrong in court papers. Former Playboy beauty Kayla Rae Reid, 33, headed to Sin City for a fun-packed weekend to celebrate eldest son Caiden turning eight on Sunday, can reveal. The model-turned-realtor posted cute Instagram shots of Caiden and little sisters Liv, 5, and 23-month-old Georgia enjoying ice creams on the strip, visiting an aquarium and checking out the M&M's store. She also showed former Olympian Lochte, 40, exactly what he's missing by stripping down to a sexy bikini and diving into a luxurious outdoor pool – captioning her video: 'Get this pale body a tan.' Kayla's glam getaway comes after she chided her estranged husband for seemingly forgetting the trio's correct dates of birth in recent court filings. The Lochte kids all have June birthdays – but their dad's muddled papers say they were born in May, can reveal. Kayla announced earlier this week that her seven-year marriage to Lochte was dead in the water. 'I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' she wrote on Instagram. 'I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life. 'I've been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing – not from fresh, open wounds.' Kayla's statement referenced 'trials we didn't choose or see coming' – but she didn't say why she split from the rugged ex-Olympian on March 7. Her petition, filed several weeks later in north central Florida's Alachua County, merely noted that their once podium-topping union was 'irretrievably broken'. Caiden and younger sister Liv, who wore a birthday tiara in honor of her brother, were seen enjoying ice cream on the strip, along with another friend who joined them on the trip She's demanding exclusive use of the $700,000, four-bed marital home in Gainesville and alimony to fund study, retraining and the costs of being a single mom. She also wants their assets – and debts – carved up fairly and Lochte, a 12-time Olympic medalist, to cover her legal fees because 'wife is financially unable to pay.' The court should consider the 'intentional dissipation, waste, depletion or destruction of marital assets by husband after the filing of the petition or within 2 years prior to the filing of the petition,' wrote her attorney, Kevin Jurecko. When it comes to the kids, Kayla asked the court for 'sole parenting responsibility' or at least 'ultimate decision-making authority' and 'majority timesharing'. 'Wife is fit and proper to assume sole parental responsibility for the minor children of the parties. Shared parental responsibility would be detrimental to the children,' her lawyers wrote. Lochte responded by insisting it was in the best interests of Caiden, Liv and Georgia for their parents to share custody. The 33-year-old also showed the former Olympian exactly what he's missing by posting a video of herself in a sexy bikini and diving into an outdoor pool The couple, who have three young children together, announced the news of their split last week after seven years of marriage But his April 28 counter-petition, prepared by attorney Justin Jacobson, made 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. Her May 15 missive also noted that Caiden was born in Los Angeles, not in Gainesville, as Lochte had suggested. Jacobson declined to discuss the mistakes while Lochte couldn't be reached for comment. He's renting a three-bed, $420,000 house five minutes from his marital home. Lochte released his own statement acknowledging he and Kayla had made 'the difficult decision' to go their separate ways. Kayla, seen in 2016 at Playboy Midsummer Night's Dream party, was previously a Playmate 'I'm deeply grateful for the life we've built together and especially for the love we share for our three children,' he said. 'Although this decision hasn't been easy, I believe it's the right step toward peace and well-being for us both. 'I remain committed to healing, growth, and co-parenting with care and respect as we move forward separately.' Kayla went public on her romance with Lochte during an exclusive interview with at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Posing for photos on the rooftop of a luxury hotel, the Fairfax, Virginia native described her hunky new beau as 'kind, humble and, of course, unbelievably good looking.' She added: 'He also has more depth than you could possibly imagine.' Within days, however, their romance was overshadowed by a bizarre episode dubbed 'Lochtegate'. The swimmer and teammates Jimmy Feigen, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger claimed they were robbed at gunpoint when a night out in Rio turned to terror. But their story unraveled when published CCTV of the four friends walking into the Olympic village laughing to themselves and looking completely unruffled by their supposed ordeal. A judge ordered an inquiry after viewing our video and it was later revealed that Lochte fabricated the story after a drunken clash with a gas station security guard who caught them peeing against a wall. He was charged with submitting a false report to police but the case was dropped after Lochte made a groveling apology. Lochte and Kayla tied the knot in Palm Springs, California, in January 2018. That same year, he served a 14-month ban for using a prohibited IV infusion and spent six weeks in rehab for alcoholism. The Rochester, New York, native decided to get help after an incident at a hotel in California. Police were called after he tried to kick his door in, though no arrests were made. 'It helped put things in perspective in my life,' Lochte later reflected. 'What is really more important than going out to a bar and getting hammered or doing anything like that, I go home and I get to play with my kids and kiss and hold my wife. That, to me, is everything.' Lochte has never formally retired from competitive swimming but hasn't participated in US Olympic team trials since 2021. Last year he revealed that he was in a severe car accident and spent ten months recovering from a shattered thigh bone. Lochte told the Athletes Only podcast that he crashed into a truck while on his way to pick up his children from school.

Incredible moment Bridgerton star FIGHTS thief who took her phone before tackling him to cafe floor & grabbing it back
THIS is the incredible moment a Bridgerton star fought off a thief who swiped her mobile in a cafe. Zacariah Boulares swiped the device from Genevieve Chenneour as she sat in Joe & The Juice in Kensington, South West London. 7 Zacariah Boulares was captured stealing the star's mobile Credit: Met Police 7 Genevieve Chenneour fought back against the thief Credit: Met Police 7 The star was targeted while sitting in a coffee shop Credit: Instagram The brave actress, who played Clara Livingston in the third season of the Netflix period drama, bravely attempted to stop the teen escaping. Astonishing footage from police shows Genevieve grabbing Boulares' shoulder as she realises her phone has been taken. She then tackles the serial thief to the ground with the help of another customer. Genevieve managed to take her phone back from Boulares before repeatedly hitting him with it in the posh cafe. She previously claimed she suffered a concussion in the horror in February and said even her dog was "traumatised". The star added: "They didn't expect me to stand up for myself – but I did." Algerian national Boulares previously pleaded guilty to stealing the phone. The teen also admitted common assault against fellow Joe and the Juice customer Carlo Kurcishi, who had stepped in to help. Boulares pleaded guilty to a separate charge of theft after he swiped a black leather hand bag from a diner at a pizza restaurant. The court heard he has 12 previous convictions for a total of 28 offences - all relating to theft. His rap sheet includes threatening to cut off Aled Jones' arm while stealing his £17,000 Rolex. The Songs of Praise presenter, 52, was out with his son Lucas when he was targeted near their home in Chiswick, South West London. Boulares - then aged 16 - pulled out 20 inch machete and repeatedly threatened Aled in a bid to steal the luxury timepiece. He told him: "Give me your f***king Rolex or I will cut your arm off." Aled handed over the £17,000 Rolex Daytona watch rather than fight with the armed robber. He and his son bravely followed the 6ft teen but when he spotted them, he snarled: "Walk the other way or I will cut your head off." Boulares was given a two year training and detention order after pleading guilty to robbery at Ealing Youth Court. But he was released from youth detention early after serving just 14 months of his 24-month sentence. He will be sentenced for robbing Genevieve on June 17 at Isleworth Crown Court. As well as Bridgerton, Genevieve appeared in historical film 1242: Gateway To The West. She is also a former professional athlete who represented Team GB at the Baku 2015 European Games in Artistic swimming events. 7 Genevieve tackled the thief to the ground Credit: Met Police 7 The actress appeared in season three of Bridgerton 7 Genevieve claimed she was left with a concussion Credit: Instagram

Khaby Lame self-deports after being detained in Trump's crackdown
TikTok's most watched and followed creator, Khaby Lame, self-deported after being detained by ICE, not even a month after his celebrated attendance at the Met Gala. Most-followed TikTok creator, Khaby Lame, self- deported after being detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement at an airport for reportedly overstaying his visa. With 162.3 million followers, Lame's videos accumulate multi-million views, making him one of the most-watched creator globally on the app. Just a month after attending the Met Gala, Lame reportedly agreed to leave America after being detained in a Las Vegas airport by ICE on June 6. The 25-year-old, who's real name is Serigne Khabane Lame, was held at the Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, because he "overstayed the terms of his visa', a spokesperson for the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the Associated Press. In a statement, ICE added: "Lame was granted voluntary departure June 6 and has since departed the U.S". Lame had arrived in America on April 30 on a temporary visa and attended the Met Gala. It's currently unclear whether Lame returned immediately to his home in Italy, as, on June 10, he shared an Instagram story of himself in São Paulo, Brazil. Lame's deportation was reportedly orchestrated by none other than Baron Trump's "best friend" and video creator, Bo Loudon. In following suit with Donald Trump's "no mercy" approach, presently asserting dominance in LA via federal law-enforcement, the self-proclaimed "best friend" of the president's son claims that he took Lame's fate into his own hands. According to The Mirror US, Loudon claims he heard of Lame's overstaying his visa from a "few of his friends" and "business partners," the influencer wished the star "the best of luck," adding that he hoped Lame could return as "a law-abiding citizen". In a video posted on June 9, Loudon said: "I just called some buddies in the administration, and I've never seen anything happen so quick. They were like, 'We're gonna get right on this'". Loudon also tweeted: "BREAKING: Far-left ILLEGAL ALIEN TikToker Khaby Lame was just ARRESTED and is now in ICE custody under President Trump. I discovered he was an illegal who overstayed an invalid VISA, evaded taxes, and I personally took action to have him deported. No one is above the law!" Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! Lame's fans swarmed to socials to share their shock, discussing his detainment by immigration in the comment sections of posts that have nothing to do with the incident. One fan wrote: "Laws have to be followed wherever you go. No exceptions. Even if you don't agree with them. In any country, you have to follow THEIR laws, not your beliefs, wants, or desires. Hang in there @khaby00 and make it all legal! You are loved by so many!". On another post, a comment read: "Bro ain't deported just winning". Lame has yet to comment publicly on the incident, however many of his fellow creators have begun to use their social platforms to protest the processing failure as seen of Trump's mass deportation raids in LA and other cities. The Mirror have reached out to Lame's team for comment.
