Olympians Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield announced their engagement after dating for about two years in a sweet Instagram post. Lyles proposed with a romantic gesture involving pink rose petals and a candle display, which was captured in a video set to Snoh Aalegra’s “Do 4 Love.” The couple received congratulations from fellow athletes and celebrities. Lyles and Bromfield met when Bromfield slid into Lyles’ DMs in 2017, with their relationship evolving over time due to long-distance and other relationships. Bromfield is an accomplished athlete herself, winning a bronze medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. She is also a law graduate. The couple has been friends for 8 years and celebrated various milestones in their relationship on social media. They are featured in the Netflix docuseries “Sprint” and share their banter-filled dynamic on Instagram. Bromfield has found therapy helpful in dealing with the loss of family members and the mental toll of competing at a high level. Lyles has supported her through this process and encouraged her to seek therapy. The couple’s engagement comes after they supported each other at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Lyles won gold and bronze medals, despite facing challenges like testing positive for COVID-19.
