The controversial Miss California/Miss USA 2009 first runner-up, Carrie Prejean, is dating record Olympic medalist Michael Phelps. Carrie’s grandmother, Jeanette Coppolla, has confirmed Carrie is “casually” dating and is aware of Michael’s womanizer reputation.

“Carrie and Michael have been out to baseball games and lunch,” Coppolla said. “He always calls her when he is in town and they go out.”

“Carrie knows that he has dated a lot of girls but she enjoys going out with him and isn’t serious about being in a relationship with him,” she added. “He’s a nice guy and she likes him.”

The Olympic champion and the beauty queen: I think it’s a match made in heaven. Miss Carrie made her point about gay marriage at Sunday’s Miss USA pageant, we wonder what’s her opinion about smoking weed. A couple of months ago, Michael were involved in a major scandal when he was caught with a bong (photos) – just like Heidi Montag!

In a recent interview with Miss USA’s host Billy Bush, Carrie dodged the question about Michael saying: “He is a great man. We can talk about that a different day.”
