full size Shirtless Ryan Lochte Hugs His Nephew on May 27, 2012

Right now, Ryan Lochte is off at the 2012 London Olympics bringing home multiple medals for the U.S. swim team. But not long ago, the 27-year-old New Yorker was just another uncle spending a bit of quality time with his little nephew.

Back in May, Ryan posted this adorable TwitPic of himself and his nephew, Zaydin, hangin’ out together on the couch.

“While I play video games with my brother[,] zaydin decides to take a nap. I might have to kidnap him,” Ryan wrote.

So far, Ryan has already brought home both a gold and a silver medal for the U.S. at the 2012 games. Throughout his career, he’s won eight medals overall: four gold, two silver, and two bronze. Plus, let’s not forget that infamous grill of his. That has to count as, like, an honorary silver medal or something, right?
