EXCLUSIVE: Miss California Dating Michael Phelps
April 21 2009, Published 9:48 a.m. ET
Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean is set to make headlines with something other than her anti-gay marriage comments. Her grandmother Jeanette Coppolla confirmed to RadarOnline.com exclusively that the beauty queen has been casually dating Olympian Michael Phelps.
"Carrie and Michael have been out to baseball games and lunch,” Coppolla said. “He always calls her when he is in town and they go out.”
Not just a pretty blonde, Prejean is fully aware of Phelps’ lothario reputation and is taking the flirtation with the swimmer in stride.
“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,” she added. “He's a nice guy and she likes him."
Earlier in the week, she played it coy when first asked to address the rumors of a relationship with Phelps, dodging Miss USA host Billy Bush’s questioning by saying, “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.” (Photo: WENN/Splash)
