Hoooo-my-god you guys: It looks like our pretend boyfriend Ryan Lochte is coming to fashion week. The New York Daily News is reporting that the gold medal-winning, grill-wearing, aspiring designer/fashion icon Olympian is slated to cover the events of this week and next for the E! network–which, judging by his recent and sensational appearance on Fashion Police (he maybe peed in a fountain with Joan Rivers), is a match made in Lochte lover heaven.

According to the NYDN, Ry-guy’s foray into fashion week kicks off at today’s Joseph Abboud show at the NY Public Library, where he’s sitting “front and center”. But Lochte’s not content with just sitting front row. His hotly (ya, we said it) anticipated ‘Jeah’ clothing line, which he describes as “Ralph Lauren, but with a little edge to it,” will debut "sooner [rather] than later."

And in probably the best news of the 2012, Lochte says that since the Olympics finished, his priorities have changed as far as the fairer sex is concerned: "I'm not seeing anyone right now, [but] I definitely want to settle down.” To which we say: Jeah, Ryan! We’re in New York. You’re in New York. Let’s do this.
