Ryan Lochte is going to be a father.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Lochte revealed that he and his girlfriend Kayla Rae Reid are expecting a baby.
“My Christmas gift came early this year, can’t wait for next year! Best news I’ve ever received #CLOUD9 #excited #family #love #2017,” Lochte wrote.
Lochte and Reid have been dating since March and got engaged in October. Reid, a former Playboy model who was Miss July 2015, hinted that she met the U.S Olympic swimmer on Tinder. You can see more photos of the couple here.
Given all the drama that has gone on in Lochte’s life with his embarrassing gas station incident during the Rio Olympics, the news of a baby is likely a welcome distraction.
