The wife of Olympic icon Ryan Lochte has filed for divorce after seven years of marriage, she announced Wednesday.
Kayla Reid and the gold medalist swimmer, 40, share three children together, and she said on Instagram that her decision came after ‘deep prayer and reflection.’
‘I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing, and challenging seasons of my life,’ she said. ‘I’ve been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds.’
‘Sometimes we face trials we didn’t choose or see coming. And in those moments, we’re forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children, and our future.
I’ve come to the understanding that staying isn’t always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and for myself.’
