Michael Phelps & Brittny Gastineau: New Couple Alert
11/14/2010 10:24 AM PST by TMZ Staff
Brittny Gastineau has landed herself a real American hero in the form of bazillion-time Olympic gold medal winner Michael Phelps ... TMZ has learned.
Our photog spotted the pair together at the Grove in Los Angeles ... and as soon as our camera started up, they split in opposite directions. You can only see Phelps for a brief moment, representing his hometown of Baltimore with a throwback Orioles hat.
A source close to the pair tells us the whole thing is kind of new, but the pair hung out at the Mondrian Hotel on Friday night and were "very cozy." Then on Saturday, we're told they hit up a Coffee Bean and did a little shopping ... that's when we caught up with them.
Insert "breast stroke joke" here.

Michael Phelps and (Former) Miss California: Are Things Going Swimmingly?
Michael Phelps found himself wading in familiar waters this weekend.
Just days after being linked to Kim Kardashian pal Brittny Gastineau, the Olympic swimmer was spotted in Palm Springs to support his longtime girlfriend, Miss California 2010 Nicole Johnson, as she handed over the reigns to a new pageant queen.
"I'm here for one reason and one reason only," Michael told E! News. "Nicole."
The gold medalist decided to take a break from training for the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics to escort Nicole to all her pageant responsibilities.
"Michael is here supporting me and my family and it feels great," Nicole said. "It's been great. I love having their support. They have all backed me in everything I've done."
The couple, Michael pointed out, has been on and off for the past three years.
Guess this was one of their "on" moments.
