Congratulations to Olympian Ryan Lochte and his fiancée, Kayla Rae Reid – the couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy.
The couple’s rep confirmed the happy baby news to Us Weekly, who reported that their son was born at 5:46 a.m. on Thursday morning.
Ryan updated his Instagram with details about the baby’s weight, measurement, and what we were dying to know – the name – since he told Us Weekly earlier this year that they planned on a “unique” name for their child.
Welcome to the world Caiden Zane Lochte! Caiden is of American origin, meaning “fighter.”
The swimmer shared: “Never seen a miracle happen before. Until this morning at 5:46 a.m. when CAIDEN ZANE LOCHTE was born. 7lbs 14oz, 22 inches. can’t stop crying from tears of joy. Dream come true!”
