This weekend, the Team USA track and field athlete proposed to his fellow Olympian and now fiancee, Junelle Bromfield. In a series of Instagram posts, the couple announced the news, sharing a recap video of the proposal.

“To my future wife, I will love you forever,” Lyles captioned the video.

“I’ve practiced a lot of different things, but I think I’ll start with this… Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy. Love is not arrogant. Love is not proud. It’s not selfish. He is not easily angered and does not keep records of mistakes,” he said. “I think about being together. I think about us being able to live up to those (values) as life progresses.”

“I’ve had other occasions where I thought I needed money. I thought I needed someone to join me and… just boost my ego,” he continued. “But when we came together, I felt like I finally discovered what peace was… and the ability to be vulnerable. (…) I feel much happier knowing I can do this. (May we) live together and have fun along the way.”

The couple, who met on social media in 2017 and began dating in 2022, recently competed side by side at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Supporting each other on and off the track and amid occasional public scrutiny, Lyles and Bromfield remained candid about their love for each other.

“…I know if I doubt myself, he will remind me how amazing I am,” Bromfield captioned a video of her boyfriend praising her in a press interview.

“We are both Olympic medalists, two-time Olympians, we have been to several world championships together. And even though our journeys are different, we are still fighters and have many of the same qualities,” he told People magazine. “I think that’s what attracted us to each other to begin with. I feel like we don’t allow our compliments to really change how we see ourselves.”

Bromfield’s acceptance and attraction to Lyles’ unwavering honesty and big personality reportedly solidified his hopes of marrying her.

“Hearing things like that is like, yeah, I would like a woman like that to raise my kids,” he said on the “Inside Track” podcast. “We will grow old together, and it will be forever, and it will be constant.”
