Additionally, Lochte also mentioned that he is living his best life after getting separated from Kayla. Lochte said (via People):

"I never wanted to get a divorce. We were unhappy for a very long time. It was like beating a dead horse, it wasn’t going to help either one of us. Everything happens for a reason and it was God’s way of saying enough is enough between both of you. So we got separated and now I’m living my best life."

Speaking about his time with his new girlfriend Molly Gillihan, Lochte said:

"Yes, we were both attracted to each other physically but what got me was I’ve never laughed so hard on a date than I did with her."
