Michael Phelps & Brittny Gastineau: New Couple Alert

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 Michael 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.

These two needed each other to get back into the limelight. Maybe they could be ensuring that they are seen, in order to offer a sidewalk "audition" for a reality show. Brittny seems to be VERY HIGH MAINTENANCE!!!

check that.... Brittany does have a talent, just as her mother does, of sucking off guys and bleeding them dry. Run, Michael, run. You can do better than a 15 min. reality show so called socialite. What a joke you are Brittany.

Like mother, like daughter. Apples don't fall far from the tree and skanks don't fall far from the athlete.
