Kayla Rae Reid revealed that her divorce from Ryan Lochte is official.
“As of July 1st 2026, 9:59 am, I am officially divorced. 🙌🏼,” the model, 34, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, July 1.
Reid’s post included a photo of the new divorcee outside in a yellow dress. She also shared the meme of Nicole Kidman wearing a pink and green outfit as she appears to shout outside. (The image was rumored to be of Kidman following her divorce from Tom Cruise, though the actress has debunked the story.)
According to court records viewed by Us Weekly, Reid and Lochte’s divorce was finalized and signed off by a judge on Wednesday.
Reid and Lochte, who tied the knot in 2018, split in June 2025 after seven years of marriage. (The exes share three kids: Caiden, 9, Liv, 7, and Georgia, 3.)
“Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,” Reid wrote via Instagram at the time. “I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing and challenging seasons of my life. I’ve been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds.”
Reid continued, “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 understand 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 myself.”
One month after news broke of his split from Reid, Lochte moved on with Molly Gillihan. Last month, Lochte and Gillihan got engaged despite him still being legally married to Reid.

“Since the world knows – yes, I am going to marry @ryanlochte. ❤️ The truth is, words could never fully express how deeply, disgustingly obsessed and in love with this man I am,” Gillihan wrote via Instagram in June. “He became my safe place, my greatest supporter, my best friend and the love of my life. Ryan, you have my whole heart. You have my deepest love, my unwavering loyalty and the rest of my days. I am so incredibly grateful that through all the twists and turns of life, we found our way to each other.”
Shortly after news of his proposal made headlines, Lochte seemingly defended taking his and Gillihan’s relationship to the next level.
“Molly and I are realizing this may just be the beginning of a very tough and exhausting road,” he wrote via his Instagram Story. “Prayers appreciated while we navigate this new reality. It seems someone wants to make sure this chapter isn’t quite done with me yet.”
