Michael Phelps' girl pal reveals she was born a boy

Michael Phelps' girlfriend has come out with a shocking revelation, saying that she was born intersex and lived as a boy until her teens.

Taylor Lianne Chandler posted on her Facebook page that her birth name was David Roy Fitch and was born with male genitalia with no testicles, but also had uterus and no ovaries, News.com.au reported.

She said that she decided to change her name as a teenager and later underwent surgery to become a woman and even claimed that the 29-year-old Olympian was unaware that she was born intersex and that she did not tell him during their relationship.

Chandler, who dated the swimmer before he checked into rehab in September, said that she met Phelps on hook-up app Tinder and the pair met up at the Olympian's Baltimore home to watch a football game.

The 41-year-old said that one thing led to the next, and they made love during halftime, and that later they had sex again.

Chandler added that that the intimacy with him was amazing and it was the first in her life that someone made her feel like a true woman.
