Overview
- Reid told People that she gave Lochte an ultimatum for inpatient treatment and intensive marital therapy in mid-January 2025 and that his refusal led her to retain an attorney and file for divorce.
- She alleges specific incidents in 2024, including finding evidence of cocaine in daughter Liv’s bedroom and seeing nitrous-oxide use in the family garage, which she says prompted the ultimatum.
- The divorce was finalized in July 2026 with Reid receiving primary custody of their three children while Lochte relocated to Missouri and became engaged to Molly Gillihan in June 2026.
- Lochte has publicly said he used drugs at home in the past but has denied ever using drugs in front of or around the children and framed confidentiality talks as measures to protect their kids.
- Reid says Lochte proposed a confidentiality agreement and a $25,000 offer tied to custody before the final settlement, a claim reported as her account and not confirmed by court records.
