Is Stephanie Rice Michael Phelps' Girlfriend?

Is Stephanie Rice Michael Phelps' Girlfriend?
Michael Phelps may not be dating Amanda Beard.

But a different gold medal swimmer is making waves in the media for getting cozy with the iconic Olympian this week.

Her name is Stephanie Rice, she's Australian and she holds the world record in the 200-meter and 400-meter individual medley for women.

As Aussie news outlets are reporting, the two world class athletes are seen here at the recent Speedo Athlete Media Day. They look mighty happy together, don't they?!?

When asked if he were dating anyone, Phelps replied:

"Part of my life is kept to myself. I'm able to relax and be with my friends. Those pretty much are the only people who really know the answer to that."

Not if we can help it, Michael.
