Remember when hearts were aflutter across the country for champion Olympic swimmer/butterface extraordinaire Michael Phelps? This summer, he was linked to everyone from Carrie Underwood to Britney Spears in the tabloids. Well, the buzz around Phelps has died down since the Olympics ended, but that doesn’t mean he’s sitting home alone waiting for the phone to ring. Apparently, the gold medalist has been spending the last few months with an aspiring model who works as a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas. He met her while in sin City for a poker game, and he even brought her home to meet mom for Thanksgiving.
Michael Phelps has taken another lap with his girlfriend – a big one. She’s spending Thanksgiving in Baltimore with him and his family.
The Olympic champ has been dating Las Vegas cocktail waitress Caroline “Caz” Pal, 26, for about two months. The two met after his record-setting performance in Beijing last summer.
“She’s there [in Maryland] meeting his family for the first time,” a source close to Pal tells PEOPLE.
Along with dating Pal, a waitress at the Palms Casino Resort’s Moon Nightclub, Phelps is spending time in Vegas working on his poker game.
Of course, once the news came out, it didn’t take long to find partially-nude photos of Caroline Pal, who looks a little like Tila Tequila. You can see them over at Yeeah! They look like photos from a Maxim or Gear spread – panty-flashing, strategically covered breasts and so on. They aren’t too racy, but I can’t imagine Mrs. Phelps being too impressed. Michael – you can do better.
