Stephanie Rice Denies Dating Michael Phelps

Australian Olympic swimmer Stephanie Rice is presented with commemorative underwear upon her return to Sydney, Australia on Tuesday.

Rice, 20, is rumored to be dating US golden boy Michael Phelps. When asked about the rumored romance and alleged kiss she and Phelps shared together she said, “No, it was just really great to meet him … and people that you usually see on TV, like [Rafael] Nadal and [Roger] Federer. To me Michael Phelps is a huge inspiration and someone I really look up to.”

Rice received her commemorative underwear along with her former boyfriend, Eamon Sullivan. The couple broke up just before the Beijing Olympics. Sullivan won silver and a bronze but claimed a world record in 100m freestyle heats while Rice collected three gold in three events.

DO YOU THINK Stephanie Rice and Michael Phelps would make a good couple?

The only thing that make him attractive is his 8 gold medals

I think Steph should stick to Eamon… they’ve had a great thing going….besides Phelps and Rice should both date some a little closer to home….

i happen to think they look good together

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!
Michael deserves someone waaaaay better!

sweetie, the rumor wasn’t that you dated him….. the buzz was that you boinked him.

eamon sullivan is 100 times better looking than phelps. i’m secretly praying that eamon and steph get back together.. and who knows, maybe they will? they’re touring around australia together for the next few weeks for the davenport underwear promotion… ;) ;) hopefully they can rekindle their flame ;)

Beautiful Aussie Stephanie Rice can do way better than Phelps, why would she want to go out with an ugly American jerk. Just because he can swim doesn’t make him good looking, he is lucky he has that on his side other wise no women in her right mind would give him a second look.

who’s that b*tch? never heard of her. anyway Eamon Sullivan CAN SO do better. Michael Phelps though would be better off with an American girl than that **** from Antarctica no one’s ever heard of

I think the media blew that out of proportion. I don’t think Michael Phelps really wants to settle down with anyone. According to him yesterday he is single and I’m sure he will enjoy it when he gets home lol

gold digger? More like gold winner. She has her own cash I doubt she’d date for money.

Phelps has been rumoured to be dating just about everyone lately. It’s just the tabloids trying to get better sales.

Stephanie and Eamon are so cute together. It would be nice if they got back together.

Phelps looks mildly retarded.

abie - #5 - steph is a fellow swimmer!!

I think they would make a cute couple, but Stephanie and Eamon looked better together. But Michael deserves someone else, preferably an athlete who’s not a swimmer.

nah i dont think they would be a great couple

I doubt Phelps and Rice are dating…hooked up? Most likely scenario.

Eamon Sullivan is hot…but in his speedo he looks so much more built…in those photos he looks scrawny. Any how, I’d still do him!

stephanie rice & eamon sullivan are a MUCH BETTER couple
michael phelps & stehanie dont go together well

i agree stephanie rice needs a nose job, SHE’S GOT THE WORLDS BIGGEST EGO STUPID GIRL

GO HOME AND STOP MILKING YOUR 5 MINUTES OF FAME…STEPHANIE WATEVER…

she can have phelps all she want
leaves eamon for me :D

STEPH AND EAMON 4EVA!

Steph can do way better!
Eamon or any other aussie is way better than any american.

EUW. SHE’S SO UGLY. and aussies only dream of dating famous foreigners. who is she anyway

ummmmm. phelps and rice? NO WAY! they arent cute together.

i didnt really think rice and sullivan were cute together either.
EAMON! he was wayy hotter than stephanie.

Michael isnt ugly and he is just the best swimmer alive so dont be jealous.

no no no
Steph + Eamon ftw
Phelps is just not good enough to fit into that equation

and whats all this bitching about Steph’s nose
she it aint “perfect”

nah hes a great swimmer but hes not the hottest guy in the world and shes the australia’s “hottest” female swimmer and shes much more suited to her ex.
