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.

The Club World Cup has shown MLS the cost of capping ambition
Even for a tournament that produced a 10-0 scoreline, Paris Saint-Germain's dominance over Inter Miami to reach the quarter-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup was overwhelming. In an especially one-sided first half, the Major League Soccer side failed to muster a single shot on target. Lionel Messi had just 14 touches against his former side who scored more goals (four) than Inter Miami completed passes in the attacking third (three). Nobody expected anything different. This is a PSG outfit that scored five past Inter Milan in the Champions League final only a few weeks ago. They also opened their Club World Cup campaign with a 4-0 thumping of Atletico Madrid that further highlighted the strength of Luis Enrique's team. Inter Miami were the sixth side to have lost to PSG by four goals or more this season. They are not unique. And yet the sheer uncompetitiveness of Sunday's match in Atlanta made it impossible not to draw judgements on the direction of MLS and its teams on the global stage. At least Inter Miami made it as far as a last 16 meeting with the European champions. Los Angeles FC and the Seattle Sounders both exited in the group stage, failing to register a single win between them. Is this the image MLS wanted to convey to the watching world? It could be argued MLS's three Club World Cup entrants acquitted themselves well at the tournament. Seattle only lost 2-0 to PSG and 3-1 to Atletico Madrid. They also could have taken something against Botafogo, rallying late against the South American champions. LAFC weren't blown out of the water by Chelsea, only losing 2-0, and took a point off Flamengo. Inter Miami pulled off the biggest result ever recorded by an MLS team against a European opponent when they beat Porto. Messi and co were also only a few minutes away from beating Palmeiras and finishing top of their group, a result which would have given them a much more favorable round of 16 tie against Botafogo. They might have gone further. As it was Inter Miami ran into PSG, who brutally exposed why MLS still can't be considered one of the best leagues in the world. For every Messi and Luis Suarez on an MLS roster, there is a Tomas Aviles and Maxi Falcon. While PSG are the complete team, Inter Miami are very much not because MLS's roster rules and salary cap is designed to stop them being one. MLS doesn't want a PSG, and perhaps with good reason. The Ligue 1 title has been won by the Parisians in 11 of the last 13 seasons. MLS Cup, on the other hand, hasn't been retained since David Beckham and the LA Galaxy went back-to-back over a decade ago. At a time when elite-level soccer is becoming increasingly predictable, MLS's parity is more valuable than ever. It's something worth protecting. This, however, is at odds with the league's stated aim to one day become one of the best in the world and the expanded Club World Cup has made this obvious. The best teams in the world are the most complete teams, so could the sort of humiliation Inter Miami suffered against PSG force MLS into finally loosening the purse strings? Many believed this would happen after Messi's arrival in the league two years ago. Instead, MLS only tweaked its roster rules to blur the lines between Designated Players and under-22 initiative signings, double the number of contract buyouts permitted per season and increase the the general allocation money (GAM) teams receive when players are transferred out of the league. Hardly transformational stuff. The introduction of a new 'cash for players' trade mechanism for the 2025 season was a step in the right direction and was quickly utilised by teams now able to bid for the best players already in MLS, but it did nothing to lift spending limits. What was the point of signing the best player of all time to grow the league if the product on the field is limiting that growth? MLS hasn't come up with a good answer to that question. There is more than one way to build a world class league and Saudi Arabia is certainly taking a different tact. Al-Hilal, for example, have more than held their own at the Club World Cup despite playing in a domestic league ranked 17 places below MLS by Opta. While the Saudi Pro League has a foreign player allowance that resembles MLS's DP rule, there are no salary restrictions which makes building a fuller squad easier. Al-Hilal don't have an Aviles or Falcon. Instead they have Joao Cancelo and Kalidou Koulibaly. And Yassine Bounou and Renan Lodi. And Ruben Neves in front of the back four for good measure. This strength across the field has made Al-Hilal difficult opponents at the Club World Cup, as Real Madrid will attest. Saudi teams aren't playing with one hand tied behind their back. Of course, MLS doesn't have the credit card of a sovereign wealth fund in its pocket, but several club owners are desperate to spend more. Jorge Mas has reportedly led lobbying for a relaxed salary cap. Sergio Busquets says MLS's roster rules is stunting the league's growth. Federico Redondo believes that for MLS to move forward 'they're going to have to loosen things up a bit.' MLS's involvement in the Club World Cup has been a great source of pride for the league. Even on a day on which the US men's national team played at the Gold Cup and two Eastern Conference heavyweights met, MLS's official X account posted eight times about Inter Miami's clash with PSG. They wanted people to know. What do people really know about MLS after the 2025 Club World Cup, though? That the league is still a long way off being one of the best in the world? That the only team to make any real impact was the one that could call on the greatest player of all time to do it all on his own? It'll take a lot more money to change any of this.

Martina Navratilova rips into Pedro Pascal after he criticized JK Rowling in trans feud
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has criticized Hollywood star Pedro Pascal after he reignited his bitter feud with J.K. Rowling over her views on transgender issues. Pascal, who is due to appear in Marvel's summer blockbuster The Fantastic Four in a matter of weeks, branded Rowling a 'heinous loser' in an interview with Vanity Fair. The 49-year-old, who has a transgender sibling, originally lashed out at the best-selling author on Instagram earlier this year after she praised a Supreme Court ruling protecting women-only spaces. The Chilean-born actor described Rowling's reaction as 'awful, disgusting' and 'heinous LOSER behavior.' Speaking to Vanity Fair, Pascal appeared to take aim at Rowling again, claiming he acted because he 'hates bullies'. 'The one thing that I would say I agonized over a little bit was just, "Am I helping? Am I f***ing helping?"' he said. 'It's a situation that deserves the utmost elegance so that something can actually happen, and people will actually be protected. Listen, I want to protect the people I love. But it goes beyond that. Bullies make me f***ing sick.' The Harry Potter creator, 59, hit back in typically savage fashion and said: 'Can't say I feel very shut down, but keep at it, Pedro. God loves a trier.' Now Navratilova, who has also been a staunch critic of trans women in the past, backed Rowling in response to her post on X. The tennis legend added: 'Another Johnny come lately telling women to STFU.' The row originally erupted after Rowling posted a defiant photo of herself smoking a cigar on a boat, with the caption: 'I love it when a plan comes together,' celebrating the court ruling which banned biological men from using single-sex spaces such as women's toilets, hospital wards and changing rooms. That photo sparked outrage from Pascal, who responded furiously online and has continued to attack Rowling in public. The actor, who has starred in The Last of Us and Game of Thrones, previously shared a post declaring: 'I can't think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.' Rowling has become a leading voice in the gender-critical movement, often clashing with trans rights activists and celebrities who oppose her views. The 68-year-old Navratilova, one of the all-time greats in tennis who won 18 major titles in her career, has also been a consistent voice in calling for lawmakers to protect women's sports and stop biological men from competing. She has also been a critic of Donald Trump but has lamented hesitancy from the Democrat party in following the lead of Republicans on the issue. In April, she said on X: 'I hate that the Democrats totally failed women and girls on this very clear issue of women's sports being for females only.'

MLB star and his manager ejected in quick succession after heated showdown with umpire
Umpire Ramon de Jesus appeared to have zero interest in hearing arguments on balls and strikes in a Sunday afternoon game between the Colorado Rockies and the Milwaukee Brewers. In the top of the third in the game played in Wisconsin, Rockies batter Tyler Freeman passed on the chance to swing on an 0-2 pitch from Brewers starter Chad Patrick. The ball appeared to clip the lower part of the zone, but mostly stayed below the established rectangle and bounced out of catcher William Contreras' glove. Nevertheless, de Jesus rang up Freeman on a called third strike and sent the right fielder into a state. Freeman slumped in disbelief before turning and angrily yelling at de Jesus for a brief second before turning to walk back to the dugout. Having seemingly heard enough, de Jesus almost instantly tossed Freeman from the game - causing the outfielder to have another shocked reaction. Tyler Freeman ejected and... Warren Schaeffer — Bobby (@welcomeMLB) June 29, 2025 Schaeffer even got down on his knees to show de Jesus how low his third strike call was Out of the dugout came a sprinting manager Warren Schaeffer, who angrily took out his chewing gum and threw it on the ground before continuing on with his rant at de Jesus. When Schaeffer slammed his hat to the dirt, the umpire tossed him as well. A still red-hot Schaeffer then got on his knees to seemingly show de Jesus how low the pitch was. After a seemingly more composed conversation, both Schaeffer and Freeman headed back to the dugout and down the tunnel to the clubhouse. According to the umpire tracking website UmpScorecards, de Jesus is relatively average when it comes to call accuracy and a metric determining the difference between actual correct calls and expected correct calls. The struggling Rockies, who have yet to hit 20 wins on the season as the calendar flips to July, won their 19th of the season in a 4-3 victory in eleven innings. The win helped prevent a sweep in the series after losing 10-6 and 5-0 earlier in the weekend.
