Shocking new allegations have emerged in the ongoing divorce proceedings between Olympic athlete Ryan Lochte and Kayla Rae Reid.
Kayla is alleging that she caught the Olympian doing drugs in front of one of their children and driving them around while intoxicated. Additionally, she claims that he recently failed multiple drug tests, via Us Weekly.
In case you didn’t know, Ryan and Kayla met during the 2016 Olympics, married in 2018, and they welcomed three children: Liv, 6, Caiden, 8, and Georgia, 2.
Kayla filed for divorce in late March and is now seeking sole custody of their kids.

In the filing, Kayla‘s lawyer wrote, “[Ryan’s] recurring and repeated irresponsible behavior shows he is unfit to exercise shared parental responsibility, and it would [be] a detriment to the minor children to award the same.”
Ryan shared a statement with Us denying the accusations.
“I am not denying that I used drugs in my home, but I adamantly deny ever using drugs in front of or around my children, and I have never driven them while intoxicated.”
“I have tried desperately to keep these divorce proceedings private and sealed, not to protect myself, but to protect my children from fabricated allegations that could hurt them. Unfortunately, despite that effort, my ex-wife chose to make this matter public, knowing I was already in intensive rehab,” he added.
The 41-year-old athlete made an Instagram post at the end of August revealing he was more than 50 days sober after a stint in rehab.
In case you missed it, Ryan previously spoke out about those cheating rumors.
