Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte announces he is engaged to Molly Gillihan after about a year of dating. According to reports, the couple becomes engaged following a proposal at Prime and Pearl in Gainesville, Florida, where they previously shared their first date. The announcement follows Lochte’s relationship timeline, described as roughly 14 months by one outlet and about one year by another. Gillihan is described as a kindergarten teacher and mother of three. Both accounts connect the engagement to the couple’s family plans: Gillihan joins Lochte in forming a blended family that includes six children. The reports also note that Lochte is beginning a coaching career in Missouri, and that Gillihan has recently been spending time with him as he transitions to that role. The proposal details are consistent across sources, including the location in Gainesville and the restaurant setting.
