Does Ryan Lochte have a girlfriend?

No. As recently as April 18, 2013, Ryan Lochte has told the media that he's single and is not in a relationship at this time. He expressed that he goes on dates regularly, but it's difficult to start or maintain a relationship because of his "hectic schedule". He also made similar comments in interviews at the time of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

His mother accidentally caused some controversy at that time by stating, "He goes out on one-night stands. He's not able to give fully to a relationship because he's always on the go." She and Ryan soon corrected this by explaining that she really meant that he goes on dates, but is rarely able to keep dating the same woman for more than a few dates. There have been no credible reports that Lochte is dating anyone seriously at this time.

After winning 2 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 1 bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Ryan Lochte became a celebrity and was given his own reality show on E! His show, "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?", premiered on Sunday, April 21, 2013, but mostly received below average ratings. Lochte also recently appeared in a fake ad, filmed by comedy website Funny or Die, in which he promotes his new fragrance "Pool Water".
