With the 2012 London Olympic Games nearing its end and the media attempting to dissect Ryan Lochte's love life, the demand for dirt on the pretty boy swimmer is currently increasing to an all-time high.

The rising star recently sat down with Piers Morgan of CNN to give his own personal take on relationships.

"I like being in relationships...I want to give them my entire heart," he stated to Morgan.

As a testament to his good looks, charm, and swimming ability, the talented Olympian's status has indeed received a boost in popularity. Known to stand out personality-wise, the star has been seen sporting a grill and heard coming clean about peeing in the Olympic pool, amongst other things.

At the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, Lochte had been dating Bronze Medalist Caroline Burckle at the time.  However, he clearly learned the hard way as he sang a different kind of tune, according to an ESPN interview that was conducted back in 2008.

"My last Olympics [in Beijing], I had a girlfriend -- big mistake," Lochte had confessed.

Although the Olympian may be pressed for time at the moment in his search for that special someone, he does indeed have the hots for one celebrity in particular; "Gossip Girl" actress Blake Lively. Turns out, she is the one female he wouldn't mind being stuck on an island with.

Unfortunately for Lochte, she's with a different Ryan, by the name of Reynolds!
