From a DM to ‘I Do’ — Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield Tie the knot in Georgia

TRENTON, Ga — It began with a simple question: “Do you cook?” Nearly eight years later, that direct message has led to a wedding.

Though they had crossed paths at international meets during their younger days, their love story didn’t truly start until 2018, when Bromfield took a chance on a DM.

That message sparked what Lyles has called a “very long seven-year story”, one marked by distance, personal growth, and deepening affection.

By 2024, Lyles knew it was time to propose. The wedding ceremony beautifully honoured both of their backgrounds, blending American and Jamaican traditions in a reflection of their shared journey and cultural roots.

The celebration featured a soul-stirring performance from gospel singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard, followed by hours of dancing.

Family, close friends, and members of the track and field community gathered to witness the union of two Olympic athletes whose bond has resonated far beyond the sport.

From a direct message to a lifelong commitment, Lyles and Bromfield’s story continues to inspire, both on the track and off.
