In a heartwarming and unexpected turn of events, American sprint sensation Noah Lyles has surprised fans around the world with a double dose of joyful news. During a recent public appearance, the Olympic medalist and reigning world champion announced that he will be tying the knot with Jamaican sprinter Junelle Bromfield at the end of this year. The athletic power couple, who have kept much of their relationship private, stunned supporters by sharing not only their engagement plans but also details about the upcoming arrival of their first child.
The buzz first began when Junelle Bromfield, herself an accomplished 400m runner and Olympian, shared a radiant photo on social media, her growing baby bump on display. The post was captioned simply, “Can’t wait to meet you, little legend 💛”, sending fans and fellow athletes into a frenzy of congratulatory messages.
Shortly after, Lyles took to his own platform to confirm the news — and added a personal, heartfelt twist. “Yes, it’s true,” he wrote. “I’m going to be a father, and I’m marrying the love of my life this December. We couldn’t be happier.”
In a moment that fans are already calling iconic, Lyles also revealed the name and identity of their unborn child, connecting the baby to a legendary figure who has long inspired him. “We’ve chosen the name Ali, in honor of Muhammad Ali,” Lyles shared. “He stood for greatness, resilience, and truth — qualities I hope to pass on to my child.”
The choice reflects Lyles’ admiration for the late boxing legend, who was not only a champion in the ring but also a powerful voice for civil rights and individuality. “Ali inspired me not just as an athlete, but as a person. I’ve always admired how he stood firm in who he was, no matter what,” Lyles said in a recent interview. “That’s the kind of legacy I want to build for my family.”
Fans and fellow athletes have flooded social media with love and support for the couple. “Two incredible athletes, now starting a beautiful new chapter — this is the kind of news we love to hear,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another added, “The sprint world just got a whole lot cuter. Can’t wait to meet Baby Ali!”
The couple plans to have an intimate wedding ceremony surrounded by close family and friends, with Lyles hinting that it will be held after the track season concludes later this year. As for the baby, Junelle is expected to give birth in early 2026.
In a world often dominated by competition and intensity, Noah Lyles’ announcement serves as a beautiful reminder that behind the speed and medals are lives filled with love, dreams, and legacy-building.
For fans of the sport — and of love stories — this news is pure gold.
