Michael Phelps has 22 Olympic medals — twice as many as the next most medals holder in history. And it looks like the Olympic champion also has a girlfriend!
Phelps has been spotted in London, celebrating his medal wins with a “mystery blonde” who we have put a name behind the pretty blonde’s face.
She is Megan Rossee, a 25-year-old model from Los Angeles, CA. Click here for more photos of the couple.
A source told the celebrity gossip website, “She and Phelps began dating in January (2012) and things started to heat up just prior to the Olympics in London.” And wouldn’t you know it, “At the time when they began dating, [The Hills’] Doug Reinhardt was crushing on her too, but she chose to be with Michael instead.”
The feeling was mutual: “Michael knew that he had to leave for the Olympics and not wanting to give up on their relationship, he flew Megan out to the trials in Omaha, then to London for The Games.”
We got this adorable photo of Megan celebrating Michael’s medals from her Twitter account. Megan posted the pic with the caption, “Yay Michael.”
Yay Michael, indeed. Btw, here is an interesting little fact about Phelps. With his six medal wins during the London Olympics, he ranks 13th in the overall medal count, tied with THE COUNTRIES of Netherlands, Ukraine, and 2016 Olympics host Brazil. Amazing. And to think, he had a “slow start” to the Games.
