In an emotional Instagram statement, the 33-year-old said: “Earlier this year I made the difficult decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection.

“Sometimes we are confronted with tests that we have not chosen or see coming.
“And at those moments we are forced to make the most difficult decisions to protect our peace, our children and our future.
“I started to understand that staying is not always the most loving decision that someone can make. For me it was leaving love – for the people around me and myself.”
According to the court reports reported by PeopleKayla submitted a divorce on 26 March.
The couple welcomed three children during their marriage; Caiden, Zeven, Liv, Five and Georgia, 23 months.
Lochte has won 12 medals at the Olympic Games, including six gold, three silver and three bronze.
