Michael Phelps Girlfriend: Taylor Lianne Chandler Admits That There Is More Going On Than The Media Knows, Are She & The Swimmer Together? [VIDEO]
Taylor Lianne Chandler, the woman who was dating Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, has explained what the status of her relationship is with Phelps as well as some secrets that could potentially come along eventually.
On Wednesday, The Daily Beast posted an interview with Chandler who revealed to the public that she was born intersex. This caused some to wonder if this created issues for the woman and the swimmer with some questions if the two were even together or not.
As it turns out, it looks like the two are not dating, but it's not for the assumed reasons.
Taylor Lianne Chandler Says She 'Went Through Hell' For Michael Phelps
"I can assure you the reason we are not together right now and the reason I haven't heard from him is not because I was born intersex," Chandler explained. "It's not because of all the social media or tabloids. It has nothing to do with that whatsoever. The reason we're not together is his story to tell if he decides to tell it. It has nothing to do with me and I did nothing wrong."
Chandler was then asked if there was something going on that the media does not know about. She responded, "Correct."
Chandler also revealed that she didn't label herself as intersex until recently, and it's not something that should be treated as differently from anything else.
"Being intersex really shouldn't change anyone's thoughts on anything," she said. "Up until now, I've never used the label. I was just a female. I've never told anyone I dated, none of my girlfriends or my ex-husband, none of them knew. It wasn't something I shared."
