It’s been close to a year since Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield have been engaged, mounting the excitement for their ‘big day.’ And 2026, an off year, with no Olympics, no World Championships, seemed the right one to squeeze in a wedding. That’s exactly what Lyles and Bromfield did, as a love story that started with a bold Instagram DM has now, 7 years later, materialized into a beautiful marriage, and the Olympians from rival nations cannot stay calm.

“I heard I didn’t walk down the aisle. I heard that I ran,” an excited Bromfield told Vogue, giving insiders into her wedding.

As per reports, the weather forecast in Georgia this whole week has had rain alerts. But somehow, when it was time for Lyles and Junelle Bromfield to exchange vows, not a single droplet poured.

Moreover, the wedding, reportedly, was a perfect blend of both the athlete’s cultures: American and Jamaican.

“It was definitely a ceremony of unity. It was just amazing to see the different cultures mesh into one. Everybody was having fun, interacting, and filled with love,” Bromfield told Vogue.

In fact, there was no fallout over the choice of music, too. “No matter what music was playing, both Americans and Jamaicans were on the dance floor, and they were just having a blast,” per Bromfield.

Thus, when the news broke out, even the Olympic world poured its love on the couple. “Welcome to the team,” wrote Jamaican icon Asafa Powell on the Instagram post, and a medley of fellow Olympians soon joined the retired Olympic gold medalist.

While the couple soaked in their special moment, it didn’t take long for the celebrations to extend beyond the ceremony itself, with American tennis star Coco Gauff, continuing the streak. She chimed in with a simple “congratulations.”

In 2018, Junelle Bromfield’s first message to Noah Lyles was: “Do you cook?” Shortly after, they didn’t quite click on their first date, and yet nearly eight years on, all of that is irrelevant. The couple has now officially tied the knot in a lavish wedding.

From there, fellow Olympians to stars across the track and field world took charge as messages quickly poured in, and the newlyweds were showered with love and congratulations.

That includes Greek pole vaulter Emmanouil Karalis, the official account of World Athletics, and even four-time Olympic medalist Femke Bol, who wrote “Congratulations.”

But even they probably didn’t know that when the couple began dating in 2022, Noah Lyles knew within a year that Junelle Bromfield was the one. He waited, took his time, and proposed two years later, wanting everything to be just right.

“She (Junelle) didn’t catch on until we got to the dinner before the actual proposal,” Lyles revealed, and then added that one guest helped his future wife understand what was about to happen. “She (the guest) then leaves the table crying and goes to the bathroom.

“Junelle follows in to comfort her, and this friend decides to tell Junelle, ‘Prepare yourself for tonight.’ And that’s all Junelle needed to put everything together.”

Everything worked out in the end as she said yes, and now, nearly two years later, the two finally tied the knot.

And many were stunned by just how beautiful Bromfield looked on her wedding day, as double Olympic medalist Amber Anning wrote, “You look so so beautiful I cannot get over this,”

Great Britain’s Daryll Neita echoed the sentiment with a, “Beautiful beautiful 💘” note, while 800m Olympic gold medalist Athing Mu-Nikolayev, “How beautiful! Congrats you two ❤️.”

For now, the couple will look to enjoy the moment after a celebration that brought together two worlds on and off the track. And judging by the outpouring of support, this is just the beginning of what promises to be a widely celebrated union between Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield.
