Michael Phelps Goes Public With Model Girlfriend Megan Rossee

Michael Phelps had girlfriend Megan Rossee on his arm to hit the red carpet at the Speedo Athlete Celebration in London on Monday evening.

Michael Phelps had girlfriend Megan Rossee on his arm to hit the red carpet at the Speedo Athlete Celebration in London on Monday evening. Michael's model love was catapulted into the spotlight over the weekend when he was spotted out partying in the England city with the leggy blonde and a few of his gold medals after completing his final Olympic event. Michael has been dating Megan, a 25-year-old model living in LA, for about five months, a fact her father confirmed. Megan accompanied Michael to London and has been tweeting about her experience, even using an affectionate pet name, "bear," for Phelps.

Michael will be leaving London as the most decorated Olympian of all time, and up next for the superstar? According to his interview with Bob Costas, Michael is looking forward to downtime and sightseeing around the world. Perhaps he'll have Megan by his side. If they hit the beach, then perhaps we'll get a glimpse of those abs, which have already earned him a top-10 spot in our 2012 Shirtless Bracket so far — cast your votes now!
