Matt Tegenkamp’s wife Michelle Tegenkamp felt a few things about Matt’s decision to retire in 2016. Firstly, she was supportive. Retiring from your passion is a tough decision so it helps when your significant other stands by you. Secondly, she was happy to get to have more time with her husband. The couple have a young kid named Brayden who Matt takes great pride in. He has said that he won’t miss all the flights…

Is Morolake Akinosun’s boyfriend Javan Felix? They tweet at each other an awful lot. They both attended the same school. He once took 237 selfies on her phone. Anything past 50 selfies generally qualifies for boyfriend status. Measuring by selfies is the way of young relationships in 2016. Let’s say they are girlfriend and boyfriend. Morolake Akinosun’s boyfriend Javan Felix has had almost as good an athletic career in college as Morolake has. She gets a lot of attention…

Life is good for Mr. Lochte. Ryan Lochte’s girlfriend Kayla Rae Reid is in a head-to-head battle for Instagram followers. Right now, Ryan has the lead by about 100,000 but Kayla is closing in fast. I think she looks a lot like Darryl Hannah. In July she posted a fairly long post about how insecure she feels when she gets a breakout. Poor you, Kayla. Life is hard. One of the funny quotes from her…

That didn’t deter Jamie McGill though, as he spelled out the word “Prom?” in Christmas lights on the football field. Aly, of course said yes. The prom was held at the Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston and Aly wore a gold corsage to match Jamie’s…

Nick Lucena’s wife Brooke Niles is a former professional beach volleyball player.  Brooke is the mother of their child, Gunnar. They live in Tallahassee, Florida, but formerly lived in Santa Barbara, California. That’s sort of the mecca of beach volleyball. They decided to move so that Brooke could pursue a career as the head coach of the Florida State Women’s beach volleyball team. I wonder if northern schools like Maine even have beach volleyball teams?…

Anthony Ervin’s girlfriend may end up being a wary woman. Given his past history, she’d probably be on guard for lapses in judgement from the Olympic gold medalist. I say this because after he won gold for the 50m freestyle in Sydney in 2000, Anthony moved to New York and became addicted to drugs, booze, and women.  In addition, he even tried to kill himself at one point. He has described his sex addiction as something…

Devon Allen’s sister Carissa Allen is his twin and fellow athlete. Normally we’d be talking about Devon Allen’s girlfriend, but there doesn’t appear to be one. So here we are. Devon and Carissa live in the same city and have always lived together. She plays volleyball while he is a great football player and future Olympic hurdler. I watched an interview from YouTube about her growing up with Devon, and she didn’t really have much…
