Olympians Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield announce engagement

Track and field stars Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield are officially engaged after Lyles proposed on October 12 in front of close friends and family. 

The couple shared the joyous news on Instagram, with Lyles, a two-time Olympic medalist, posting a behind-the-scenes video of the proposal and writing, "To My Future Wife I Will Love You Forever 💍."

The heartfelt post featured photos of Lyles kneeling in front of a large heart display with a "Will you marry me?" sign, capturing the emotional moment.

Both athletes competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where Lyles, 27, secured a gold medal in the men’s 100-metre race and a bronze in the 200-metre final. Bromfield, 26, who represents Jamaica, didn’t medal in Paris but previously won bronze in the women’s 4x400-metre relay at the 2020 Tokyo Games.

Following the Paris Games, Lyles publicly expressed admiration for Bromfield on Instagram, calling her a "survivor" and praising her remarkable achievements as a two-time Olympian and multi-world championship medalist.

The couple, both prominent figures in the world of athletics, are now preparing for their next big race—down the aisle.
