American sprint champion Noah Lyles recently demonstrated his devotion to Junelle Bromfield following their engagement, while Bromfield reflected on the hardships they faced throughout their relationship.
The couple’s journey began in 2017 when they connected on social media and grew closer despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship.
Lyles proposed to Bromfield during a vibrant and joyous ceremony, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. As they celebrated this new phase in their lives, Lyles expressed his love for Bromfield in a heartfelt post on X, quoting from scripture: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”
Bromfield, equally delighted, took to Instagram to share her thoughts on their relationship and how they’ve navigated obstacles along the way. She recalled how they were long-distance friends initially and didn’t expect to spend much time together until their athletic careers were over. “We were long-distance best-friends. Didn’t think we would ever get to really hang out until we were done with track but just look at US,” she wrote.
Their bond has only strengthened over the years, with Bromfield consistently supporting Lyles at major championships, often choosing to stand by him over her Jamaican compatriots. This unwavering loyalty to Lyles has not come without a price. In Jamaica, Bromfield has faced backlash for siding with Lyles, even being labeled a “public enemy” by some.
The intense criticism has escalated to the point where Bromfield recently revealed that she has received death threats on social media for supporting Lyles over Jamaican athletes. Her fear of returning home has been fueled by these threats, underscoring the difficulties she has faced in her home country for prioritizing her relationship.
Despite these challenges, the couple remains committed to one another, sharing a love story rooted in mutual support, resilience, and devotion. Their engagement marks a new beginning, and their journey together continues to inspire both of them, as well as those who follow their story.
