The swimming sensation has dominated headlines since romping to gold ahead of his rival Michael Phelps in the 400m individual medley on Saturday.
Now his mum, Ileana, has revealed the 27-year-old is single but insists he only has time for laps, not love.
'He's too busy,' a proud Mrs Lochte told Us magazine. 'He's so warm-hearted that I don't think he'd want to have a relationship with somebody.'
Anyone willing to have a try will just end up heartbroken by the determined New York-born sports star.
'It just wouldn't be fair to the girl,' explained Mrs Lochte. She says her son, famed for wearing diamond-encrusted tooth grills on the winner's podium, is his own man and won't change his flashy ways. 'Sometimes you want to kill him. He's a little too laid-back sometimes,' she said.
However, she admitted she was overwhelmed by seeing her son's face plastered all over the capital.
'As a mom, I'm trying not to cry,' she said. 'I get to see my child's face all over the place. I want to kiss the billboards and say: "Oh, I love you".'
As for Lochte, he's not letting the hype or any female admiration distract him from his medal haul.
'I'm just going out there and having fun and doing what I do best,' he said.
However, plans to show off his fun side almost backfired when Olympic officials barred him from wearing his Old Glory grill on the podium.
Not to be outdone by red tape he put it on after collecting his gold medal.
