Even though Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are dating, Ryan Lochte, the American swimming superstar who won multiple medals in the 2012 London Olympics, has no problem admitting he has a crush on the Gossip Girl star. 

Lochte spoke to People, admitting his crush at New York's Ainsworth Park at the Windsor Custom Clothes Fashion's Night Out event.  "I have a huge crush on Blake Lively. She's drop-dead gorgeous...I haven't met her yet. If I do, I'd definitely be starstruck. She makes my toes curl." 

According to People, Lochte is still on a strict diet and trains for six hours a day, preparing for the 2016 Olympics. But, he'd break his strict regiment for a shot at Lively. 

"For her, I would totally cheat [on my diet]," he says. "I love homemade food, but I do have to keep to my regimen because I'm still training for the 2016 Olympics." 

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, who costarred the superhero movie "The Green Lantern," have been dating for almost a year. Even though "The Green Lantern" was a colossal disaster, Lively still remains popular, starring in the popular TV show, "Gossip Girl" and the new Oliver Stone film "Savages," with Taylor Kitsch, Salma Hayek, and John Travolta. 

For those women who are hoping to bag Ryan Lochte and aren't named Blake Lively, Lochte gave some insight as to what kind of women he likes. ""I like girls who are confident enough to wear sexy dresses and have a wild night out and [then] be the complete opposite and be able to chill and wear shorts and a football jersey around the house...A woman wearing an oversized jersey - or especially a guy's button-down shirt with no pants - is by far the sexiest thing."
