American swimming legend Michael Phelps has a new companion to share his retirement.

Phelps, 27, is reportedly dating a model named Sarah Herndon, who was recently interviewed by The Daily Mirror.

The 22-year-old Herndon, a San Diego native, has an extensive portfolio as a swimsuit model.

In her talk with the Mirror, Herndon says she and the 18-time gold-medal winner enjoyed a vacation in the Bahamas. The new couple have a history in tropical settings, having met in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, over Christmas.

Herndon was also asked about some of her more intimate times with Phelps, but she replied that those details will remain between her and her new companion.

In August, Phelps was linked to another model, Megan Rossee. Though there was limited coverage of their relationship.

Phelps hasn’t completely left the public eye since his last major competition in the 2012 London Games. The Maryland-born Olympic star was recently spotted along the sidelines during Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl run.
