Apparently amidst all of Ryan Lochte's Rio robbery drama and stint on Dancing With The Stars, he had a girlfriend supporting him.

And now, he has a fiancée.

Lochte and Kayla Rae Reid, a former Playboy model and extremely forgiving person, just got engaged in Los Angeles.

Both Lochte and Reid shared the moment on Instagram.

According to USA Today, Reid and Lochte met in January at a Hollywood nightclub.

“When I realized this was ‘the one’ was when she stuck behind me through this," Lochte told USA Today, referring to his Rio robbery scandal.

“She still loves me and she’s still right there with me."

Congrats to the happy couple – while their wedding goody bags may not have Speedo swag, we assume there will be plenty of cough drops.
