Who is Katie Ledecky’s ex-husband?

Ledecky prefers keeping a low profile on social media. She generally posts about her swimming, endorsements, and daily routine. Katie recently promoted her book Just Add Water via her Instagram handle.

Ledecky is not married entering into the 2024 Paris Olympics. She doesn’t have any current or ex-husband. The Stanford graduate keeps her personal life private. There have been reports suggesting that she was dating Swimmer Michael Phelps in 2016. Some rumors also said Katie is in a relationship with actor Zac Effron.

However, there is no concrete proof that Katie has an ex-husband. The swimmer has never confirmed or addressed any rumor about her dating. Ledecky has often said she wants to focus on her swimming career and isn’t looking for a relationship right now.

Katie Ledecky and her family on her swimming career

“It’s a little surreal. I mean, I don’t think I would’ve expected to necessarily still be at this level this many years later,” Ledecky told People Magazine last month. She added that she wouldn’t have been able to see herself in the 2024 Olympics.


“I don’t take these opportunities for granted, and I just try to enjoy each day of the training and the process,” Ledecky admitted. According to NPR, she likes to take things year by year but is confident about competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Since it’d be a home Olympic for her, Ledecky doesn’t want to miss out on the opportunity. “I want to compete in at least one event,” she said. 

“I don’t get the sense of her feeling any pressure at all,” Katie’s dad told ESPN after her success at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
