Phelps received many texts from Lindsay while he created history at the 2012 London Olympics. According to the Mirror, a source revealed Phelps’ reaction to this matter. Michael showed Lohan’s texts to his friends, where she expressed interest in going on a date with him.
The source told Mirror, “At first he thought it was a joke when she got in touch. But she’s since been phoning and texting constantly.” The news spread like a fire on Michael’s campus, and the source added, “It’s become a running joke in his camp. Lindsay has been trying to meet up with him. They’re both going to the MTV Video Music Awards next month, so they’ll be sure to see each other properly then.”
Still, not a single word came out of Michael’s mouth on this topic. The source concluded, “Phelps is certainly flattered by all the attention, but it’s not clear how seriously he’s taking it all.” Lindsay was getting clean from her dr*g addiction before she started calling Phelps constantly.
