Track and field star Noah Lyles and fellow sprinter Junelle Bromfield announced their engagement.
People‘s Charlotte Phillipp noted the couple first began interacting in 2017 but didn’t start dating until 2022. They discussed their relationship on the Fast Lane Lifestyle podcast, with Lyles saying they planned to “grow old together” (via Phillipp).
The engagement adds to a big year for Lyles.
The 27-year-old won the gold medal in the 100 meters at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, narrowly edging out Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson. He added a bronze to his medal haul as well with a third-place showing in the 200 meters.
Bromfield is likewise a decorated sprinter with a bronze medal in the 4×400-meter relay at the 2021 Summer Games and a silver in the same event at the 2022 World Athletics Championships.
