Ryan Lochte surprised his fans in October when he announced he had popped the question to his girlfriend Kayla Rae Reid after meeting in January.

And on Wednesday the 32-year-old Olympic swimmer shared even more news: the couple is expecting their first child together.

The medalist made the announcement while sharing a photo of himself kissing the bikini-clad model's baby bump while holding on to her bottom. They are seen underwater in a swimming pool.

Her turn: She shared: 'Just when you think you think you have it all figured out, life always surprises you with blessings when least expect it'

'My Christmas gift came early this year, can't wait for next year,' Lochte captioned the photo.

'Best news I've ever received #CLOUD9 #excited #family #love #2017.'

'So excited to share this news with all of you!' The beauty included the hashtags '#weareprego, #omg #2017.'

The two seem to have formed a very solid bond since his scandal over the summer at the Olympics in Rio.

He came under fire for trashing a gas station bathroom after a night of partying. He initially said he had been robbed.

Reid stuck up for the athlete.

'When I realized this was "the one" was when she stuck behind me through this,' he told USA Today.

'She still loves me and she's still right there with me.'

He also told Cosmopolitan this month: 'I was like, "What am I doing here? I should just die and end this." I was getting death threats,' he recalled. 'It was just the darkest point in my life. I was like, "I’m just never going to come out, never."'

Lochte recounted the criticism and hate his then-girlfriend would receive on Instagram.

'But she was like, f**k this, I don't care. I'm with you no matter what,' Lochte said admiringly.

Lochte was charged by Brazilian police for concocting his robbery story. According to TMZ, he was offered a plea agreement by prosecutors in late November.

As per the terms of the proposed deal, Lochte would have to pay a fine of just over $20,000 in exchange for dropping all criminal charges. Lochte’s camp has yet to accept the deal, the news site reported.

They move fast: The couple only met 11 months ago while partying at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood

Ryan and Kayla only met 11 months ago while partying at Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood. 'We physically ran into each other. We grabbed each other's hands and were looking into each other's eyes. We clicked,' she told the New York Post.

'I had always heard he was a player and a partier. I always said I would never date an athlete. When I met him, he was the complete opposite of everything I thought he was.

'I never pictured myself married to anyone,' she added. 'I just never imagined that. He's so romantic. He leaves me love letters all around the house. He is a softie. He's sensitive and thoughtful.'

Lochte is an American competitive swimmer, a 12-time Olympic medalist (six gold, three silver, three bronze), which ranks him second in swimming behind Michael Phelps.
