Ryan Lochte<\/strong><\/a> is seemingly sending a subtle message amid his financial drama with estranged wife Kayla Rae Reid<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram Story on Wednesday, November 19, Lochte, 41, shared a screenshot of himself listening to Kanye West<\/strong>\u2019s track \u201cGold Digger.\u201d In the image, the line \u201coh, she\u2019s a gold digger,\u201d appeared in white text while the other lyrics were blurred in the background.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways good time to listen to the classics,\u201d Lochte wrote.<\/p>\n

News broke in June that Reid, 34, filed for divorce from Lochte after seven years of marriage. (The pair, who tied the knot in 2018, share son Caiden, 8, and daughters Liv, 6, and Georgia, 2.)<\/p>\n

\u201cEarlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,\u201d Reid wrote via Instagram at the time. \u201cI hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing and challenging seasons of my life. I\u2019ve been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing \u2014 not from fresh, open wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lochte, for his part, released his own statement, writing via social media, \u201cAlthough this decision hasn\u2019t been easy, I believe it\u2019s the right step toward peace and well-being for us both. I remain committed to healing, growth and coparenting with care and respect as we move forward separately. Thank you to our family and friends for your continued support. It truly means a lot as we begin this new chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The divorce has since turned messy, with Reid claiming, in part, in an August court filing that she found Lochte inhaling nitrous oxide in front of the kids. She has asked the court to award her sole physical custody of their children. Lochte, for his part, denied the allegations<\/a> in a statement to Us Weekly<\/em>. The Olympian noted that he did struggle with substance abuse<\/a> after his 2023 car accident, but never got high with his kids present.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d he said in August. \u201cWe all make mistakes in life. We are not defined by those mistakes, but by how we learn from them and the work we put in to overcome them. I am extremely sorry for hurting or disappointing anyone along the way. My focus now is on my recovery, on being the best father I can be, and on moving forward in a way that keeps my kids safe, supported, and loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSending a message? Kim Zolciak-Biermann shared a not-so-cryptic post about recognizing \u201cmanipulation\u201d amid her messy split from Kroy Biermann. \u201cManipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their toxic behavior, but never discussed their disrespect that trigged you,\u201d read a quote shared via her Instagram Story on Thursday, May 25. In a caption, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The pair\u2019s financials have since made headlines, with Reid demanding that she be allowed to review Lochte\u2019s records. An October filing revealed that Reid issued subpoenas asking that banks produce any records regarding any account held by Lochte or his business.<\/p>\n
