Olympian Michael Phelps’ girlfriend, Taylor Lianne Chandler, 41, has revealed she was born a male named David Roy Fitch.
Chandler made the revelation on her Facebook page, where she said she was actually born intersex with a male name, with both male and female genitalia.
“I was never a man, never lived as a man. No one can say they knew me as a man or produce a photo of me as a man,” she wrote. “There are people that remember me as an androgynous child at times because of what was forced upon me.”
Chandler first spoke about her relationship with the most decorated Olympian of all time, 29, to the National Enquirer.

On her Facebook page, she’s been reposting just about every article written about her. She also told her followers that Phelps is out of rehab after getting his second DUI.
“I was born with male genitalia with no testicles, but I also have a uterus and no ovaries,” she explained.
She also said Phelps, who she met on Tinder in August, was not aware of her surgery to become a woman.
“One thing led to the next, and we made love during halftime,” she said of their first date. “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.”
