This is one of the more bizarre stories to come this week. So Michael Phelps’ ex-girlfriend Taylor Lianne Chandler — whom he was having a short-lived affair with prior to checking into rehab in September — was born a man, so she tells RadarOnline in an interview. Chandler, who was born David Roy Fitch told the site she was an intersex baby.
“I was born with male genitalia with no testicles, but I also have a uterus and no ovaries.”
During her teen years, Chandler changed her name to Paige Victoria Whitney, and later underwent surgery to become the women she felt she deserved.
Fast forward, Chandler admits the two met on Tinder (yes, Olympian gold-medalist Michael Phelps uses Tinder to procure coitus) back in August — however, she never told Phelps about her surgery — at the swimmer’s home in Baltimore to watch a Ravens game on September 21st.
“One thing led to the next, and we made love during halftime,” she says. “Later, we had sex again. The intimacy with him was amazing! It was the first time in my life that someone has made me feel like a true woman.”
Chandler also adds she sent Phelps an email revealing her complicated past.
“I never lied to him,” Chandler insists. “We were together for such a short period of time, I never had a chance to tell him about my life.”
“Michael is a brand, and dating someone like me may not be the best thing,” she says. “I just hope he follows his heart and not what his people tell him.”
