Ryan Lochte's ex-wife Kayla Reid says discovering that his new fiancée, Molly Gillihan, was someone already in her social circle made the end of their marriage even more painful.
In a new PEOPLE interview, Reid said she and Gillihan had mutual friends in Gainesville, Florida, exchanged invitations and personal advice, and spoke about Reid's marriage as it was falling apart. Reid now claims Gillihan was dating Lochte "behind my back."
The dates have become central to the disagreement. Reid officially filed for divorce from Lochte on March 26, 2025, while Lochte and Gillihan mark April 9 as their anniversary. Gillihan says she did not allow herself to consider a relationship until Lochte was living independently and divorce proceedings had already begun.
Lochte and Gillihan made their relationship public in July 2025 and became engaged in June 2026. Reid and Lochte finalized their divorce on July 1 after eight years of marriage and three children.
Reid said they moved within the same Gainesville social circle and that she uses the term "friend" lightly. According to Reid, the two women traded invitations to happy hours and Mother's Day gatherings and exchanged advice about local schools, career changes and other personal matters. Reid also said she helped Gillihan when she was considering opening a children's café, including offering ******* istance related to real estate.
