“She has been through so much” - Noah Lyles shows support for girlfriend Junelle Bromfield after recent controversy surrounding their relationship

Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield have been a power couple on and off the track for quite some time now. However, before the Paris Olympics, Bromfield came under fire from Jamaican athletics fans for ‘leaking’ the nation's training secrets to Lyles, and the 100m Olympic Champion was quick to speak out against the hate.

Lyles and Bromfield have been together since 2022, and have been one of track’s most successful couples. The duo often share the insights of their day-to-day life across their social media platforms, much to their fans' delight. In a recent interview with Track News World, the American revealed he often gets inside information about the happenings of the Jamaican track world credit to his girlfriend, saying he ‘knows information other people don't’.

He also added that Bromfield would often speak to him about runners she thought held potential, saying,

“I’ve known about a lot of the Jamaicans that are on the underground, and usually Junelle’s eye for talent is very strong. If she says that somebody is going to run fast, they usually run fast."

However, Noah Lyles’ revelation irked quite a few Jamaican track and field fans, with many labeling the 400m runner a ‘traitor’ amongst other unflattering things. Now, the American is fighting back against the hate his partner is facing, writing on his social media:

“I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of my GF and give her the flowers she deserves now 💐. She has been through so much in her life that I could never imagine fighting through. Beyond that she is a survivor, 2x Olympian, Olympic medalists, Multi world championship medalist, and has been representing Jamaica on the world stage since she was 8 years old.”

“But the most impressive thing I’ve seen recently is how she’s dealt with the pure disrespect and hatred towards her from her own country. This woman has been attacked by people who have never met her, heard her name before, never seen her smile, or heard what she believes in. But she keeps moving forward knowing that God will always make a way. That's why God keeps blessing her!”
