After meeting for the first time in 2017, Lyles and Bromfield have come a long way and got engaged on October 12, 2024.

Fresh off their Paris Olympics victory, Lyles, who secured a gold and a bronze medal, and Bromfield, who represented her nation in the 400m, 4x400m relay, and the 4x400m relay mixed events, got hitched on Saturday.

Noah Lyles proposed to his girlfriend in front of a big heart covered in pink flowers and surrounded by petals and white candles. The big heart had the question "Will you marry me?" inscribed on it. While Lyles opted for a classic black suit with a diamond-studded necklace, Bromfield was spotted in a chic grey dress embellished with small mirrors.

Lyles shared a few glimpses of the romantic evening on social media with his fans and wrote:

"To My Future Wife I Will Love You Forever 💍"

A few athletes expressed their love for the couple, including the Paris Olympics gold medalist Thomas, who wrote:

"CONGRATS!!! I am so happy for you both!! Such a beautiful and blessed couple."

Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield started dating each other after a rocky first date

Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield started dating each other after a clumsy first date.

Bromfield was the one to take the initiative and slid into Noah Lyles' DM. They planned their first date while navigating a hectic schedule of their respective training sessions. However, the two did not click and decided to keep it mutually platonic.

The pair met again during the 2020 Tokyo Games when they were dating other people. However, in February 2022, Noah Lyles slid into the Jamaican sprinter's DM, when they were both single and met for a second date.

The couple then made their relationship public and has since been together, which is evident from the support they provide to each other during the meets.
