Who is Noah Lyles' girlfriend? US track star backed by his lady luck as he goes for glory in men’s 100m
PARIS, FRANCE: Olympian Noah Lyles, celebrated as one of the fastest men on the planet, has found a steady partner in Jamaican athlete Junelle Bromfield. Their love story began in 2017 when they connected through social media.
After months of virtual communication, they finally met in person, but their first date didn't go as planned. They decided to remain friends instead of pursuing a romantic relationship.
Despite the rocky start, the duo stayed in touch. In 2022, Lyles decided to give love another try and asked Bromfield out again, PEOPLE reported. This time, their relationship blossomed into a deep and inseparable bond.
Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield live and train together in Florida
Noah Lyles reflected on this during an interview on the 'Fast Lane Lifestyle' podcast, saying, "Whenever I get in a relationship, I’m very serious."
"We’re going to grow old together, and it’s going to be forever," Lyles confidently remarked on the same podcast.
Now living together in Florida, the couple also trains together, balancing their personal and professional lives. While they maintain professionalism on the track, their social media accounts are filled with affectionate posts.
In April 2024, Bromfield shared a video on Instagram of Lyles gifting her a brand-new Hyundai Genesis, captioned, "First car 🥳💙. Paper work took so long my excitement ran out 😂😂. Thank you baby ❤️🔐."
As Lyles competes at the Olympics, he’s not only fueled by his athletic ambitions but also the unwavering support of Bromfield.
Sporting the red, white, and blue, Lyles aims to join the elite group of athletes who have won gold in both the 100m and 200m events—a feat last accomplished by Carl Lewis in 1984 for Team USA.
Noah Lyles has already made waves in 2024 Summer Games
Noah Lyles has already made waves in the 2024 Summer Games. He competed in the men's 100-meter preliminary round on August 3, finishing second in his heat with a time of 10.04 seconds, which secured his spot in the semifinals.
Although his performance wasn’t as dominant as expected, Lyles remains a strong contender for the finals. He is set to compete not only in the 100m but also in the 200m and the 4x100m relay.
There is even a possibility that he might participate in the 4x400m relay, showcasing his versatility and endurance.
Lyles’ journey at the Olympics is reminiscent of the legendary Usain Bolt, who clinched the 100m and 200m gold medals in three consecutive Olympic Games.
However, only eight Americans have achieved this milestone, setting the stage for Lyles to potentially make history.
Noah Lyles positively impacted Junelle Bromfield's mental health
Junelle Bromfield is more than just Noah Lyles’ girlfriend; she is a formidable athlete in her own right. Born on February 8, 1998, in Black River, Jamaica, Bromfield has a rich background in track and field.
She specializes in the 400m and has represented Jamaica on the global stage, including winning a bronze medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
The couple will have the unique opportunity to compete alongside each other at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, with Bromfield representing Jamaica in the women’s 4x400m relay and the 400m individual event.
Their relationship became public in August 2022, and they went Instagram official in December of that year. Bromfield marked their first anniversary with a heartfelt post, celebrating their friendship and romantic journey.
Their bond goes beyond the track, with Bromfield revealing how Lyles has positively impacted her mental health.
Inspired by Lyles' openness about his struggles, Bromfield began therapy to address her own challenges, including survivor's guilt.
Bromfield also shares a close relationship with Lyles' family. She initially lived with his mother, Keisha Caine, in Florida before moving in with Lyles.
Caine's support has been invaluable, as she helped Bromfield navigate her early days in the US, including driving her to training sessions.
