14-time Olympic gold medal winner Michael Phelps made the headline again for his rumored relationshiop with 2009 Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean after photo of him smoking marijuana shocked the world earlier this year.
News came out when Radar Online released an exclusive report that Carrie's grandmother Jeanette Coppolla has confirmed the twosome's love relationship.
"Carrie and Michael have been out to baseball games and lunch," Jeanette says in a statement. "He always calls her when he is in town and they go out." Jeanette goes on revealing, "Carrie knows that he has dated a lot of girls but she enjoys going out with him and isn't serious about being in a relationship with him," adding that "he's a nice guy and she likes him."
But Carrie Prejean has been playing it coy when asked about her alleged romance with Phelps. "That's not appropriate to answer right now. He's a great man ... You can call me on a later day and we can talk about that," she said when asked by Miss USA pageant host Billy Bush on the nature of her relationship with Michael.
Michael Phelps denied the rumor later when attending the opening of the Omega flagship boutique in New York on Wednesday, April 22. "I'm not dating anybody," he insisted "I'm single. My private life stays private."
The Miss USA runner-up stired up a controversy early this week for speaking out against gay marriage.
