The Lochte family

Ryan Lochte loves being a dad, and he dotes on both of his kids. In an interview with People, he said, “I have to be ‘Super Dad’ when I get home. A lot of my competitors do recovery and stuff like that, but I’m limited because my most important thing is being a dad.”

According to him, it is hard to juggle his career and his kids sometimes, but he still spends every opportunity he can with them. “It’s hard juggling because I want to be the best dad. After I’m done with practice, I can’t go home and take a nap.”

While Lochte is a loving father to his kids, unfortunately, he doesn’t share the same parent-child affection with his mother. His parents are divorced and he has a strained relationship with his mother, who he hasn’t spoken to in years.

However, Lochte has not let this affect his family, as he continues to work hard for them and be with them any chance he can get. Lochte revealed that he and his wife will probably have another kid. His wife does not want to have an odd number of kids, so they are probably going to go for a fourth one. Well, who wouldn’t like more swimming champs?
