Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles, 27, announced his engagement to fellow Olympian Junelle Bromfield, 26, in a heartwarming Instagram video posted on Sunday, October 13. The American sprinter proposed to the Jamaican runner in an elaborately decorated setting, surrounded by family and friends.
Lyles captioned the video, “To My Future Wife, I Will Love You Forever ????,” showcasing the couple walking into a modern house adorned with candles, flowers, and rose petals. The backyard featured a large heart made of pink roses and a neon sign reading, “Will you marry me?”
The couple’s journey began in 2017 when they met on social media. After an initially unsuccessful first date, they remained friends until 2022 when Lyles, fresh from his 100-meter gold medal win at the Paris Olympics, pursued a romantic relationship with Bromfield.
Bromfield, a bronze medalist at the 2020 Olympics, and Lyles went public with their relationship in December 2022 at the USATF Night of Legends celebration. In August 2023, Bromfield marked their first anniversary on Instagram, highlighting their seven-year friendship and one-year partnership.
During a March interview on the Inside Track podcast, Lyles expressed his deep connection with Bromfield, calling it his “best relationship ever.” Bromfield cited Lyles’ “brutal honesty” as a key factor in their bond.
As both continue their athletic careers, this engagement marks a new chapter in the lives of these decorated Olympians, blending their personal and professional worlds.
