The Lyles family is no stranger to the spotlight when it comes to the world of track and field, but this time, it’s not the medals or podium finishes that are making headlines—it’s matters of the heart. Josephus Lyles, younger brother of sprinting superstar Noah Lyles, has announced his engagement to former USC Trojans standout Anglerne Annelus, setting the stage for a double celebration in the athletic household.

Josephus, an elite sprinter in his own right, took to social media to share the joyous news with a heartfelt post, showcasing the engagement ring and the newly engaged couple beaming with happiness. For track fans, the union brings together two of the sport’s most promising athletes—Josephus, known for his prowess in the 200m and 400m, and Anglerne, a two-time NCAA champion in the 200m dash who represented the United States at the 2019 World Championships.

The announcement comes just weeks after Noah Lyles revealed his own engagement to his longtime girlfriend, adding an extra layer of excitement for the family. The Lyles household is abuzz with joy as both brothers prepare to embark on new chapters of their lives—off the track.

Born into a family rooted in athletics, both Josephus and Noah have carried on the legacy of their parents, Keisha Caine and Kevin Lyles, who were track athletes themselves. The brothers have carved out successful careers, often training and competing together, while also supporting each other through every milestone. Now, with weddings on the horizon, the family bond seems stronger than ever.

Josephus’ fiancée, Anglerne Annelus, brings her own impressive credentials to the table. A decorated collegiate sprinter, Annelus captured national attention during her time at USC, particularly after her dramatic victory in the 200m at the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Her resilience and determination, both on and off the track, have made her a respected figure in the sport. Fans and fellow athletes alike have expressed their excitement at the couple’s engagement, celebrating not just their personal happiness but also the merging of two remarkable athletic journeys.

The news has sparked waves of congratulatory messages across social media, with fellow athletes, coaches, and fans sending their well-wishes. Many noted how rare and special it is to see two elite-level track stars find love within the sport, and how their shared passion will likely serve as a foundation for a strong partnership.

With wedding bells ringing for both Lyles brothers, the coming months promise to be filled with love, family, and celebration. While their eyes may still be set on future Olympic and World Championship glory, Josephus and Noah are clearly embracing the equally significant victories in their personal lives.

As the Lyles family prepares for not one, but two weddings, it’s safe to say that 2025 is shaping up to be a golden year—both on the track and in their hearts.
