Ryan Lochte’s Divorce Spills Onto Instagram After Ex Shares Email, Girlfriend Fires Back

Unverified social posts now drive a family dispute that is still before the court.

Overview

  • Kayla Rae Reid, who filed for divorce in March 2025, posted Monday an email she says Ryan Lochte sent that praised his new partner as “ten times better” as a mother and told her to “move on” with her “gold digging life.”
  • Molly Gillihan responded on Instagram Stories, calling Reid a “child” and alleging Reid dropped their two-year-old off “covered in throw up” before leaving for a girls weekend in Miami.
  • The back-and-forth unfolded on Instagram Stories, with both women airing claims as the divorce proceeds and custody issues remain unresolved.
  • The couple share three children — Caiden, 8, Liv, 6, and Georgia, 2 — which makes the parenting accusations central to the dispute.
  • Page Six and the New York Post reported the posts, noted the claims have not been independently verified, and said they requested comment; prior coverage documented Lochte’s rehab and sobriety updates and his move-in with Gillihan in January.
