Ryan Lochte and Kayla Rae Ried have expanded their family! The 31-year-old model gave birth to her third child a baby girl named Georgia June Lochte on Wednesday, June 21.
Before giving birth, the new mom told Us Weekly,
“[We’re] thrilled. We are so excited. Ryan is such a great dad; I can’t wait to see him as a father to 3. He’s so great with kids in general, they always gravitate towards him.”
“I am excited as well, [but] I am more of the worrier, the strict one, the not-as-fun parent, let’s just say. It makes for a good balance.”
The couple is already a parent to two children a son Caiden Zane Lochte, 7, and a daughter Liv Rae, 4.
Kayla revealed the newborn’s name was one the couple ‘easily’ agreed to. She told the outlet,
“Her middle name has a play on the timing of her birth and a family member,”
Similarly, they decorated the infant’s nursery with a fun theme including “pink and green tones with a southern eclectic feel”.
