Noah Lyles’ Mother Keisha Caine Bishop Allegedly Sues Junelle Bromfield Over Rejected Proposal and Relationship Delays
[August 30, 2025 | Los Angeles] – In a surprising and unusual turn of events in the world of athletics, Keisha Caine Bishop, the mother of American sprinting champion Noah Lyles, has reportedly filed a civil lawsuit against Jamaican Olympian Junelle Bromfield. According to court documents leaked to the press, the suit centers on Bromfield’s alleged rejection of a marriage proposal from Lyles and her alleged role in delaying his focus and time regarding their romantic relationship.
The lawsuit, filed in a family court in Florida, claims that Bromfield’s “repeated emotional negligence and intentional interference in the romantic progress of the relationship” caused undue emotional distress to both Noah Lyles and his family. It also alleges that her actions “derailed Lyles’ emotional readiness” during a critical period in his athletic and personal development.
Unprecedented Legal Move
While it is not uncommon for celebrity relationships to be scrutinized, legal experts say this type of lawsuit is virtually unheard of. “This is highly irregular,” said family law attorney Dana Webster, who is not involved in the case. “Unless there was a contractual agreement or some form of engagement contract—which is rare and often unenforceable—this kind of lawsuit may not stand in court.”
However, Bishop’s legal team appears to argue otherwise. The 16-page filing references “emotional investment, future planning, and reputational damage” as part of the claim. It also suggests that Bromfield allegedly strung Noah Lyles along with “ambiguous intentions” before ultimately rejecting a marriage proposal in early 2025.
Background on the Relationship
Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield have been publicly linked since 2023. Their relationship attracted widespread attention when Lyles posted affectionate messages and shared glimpses of their time together on social media. Many fans saw them as a power couple in track and field.
Rumors of a proposal surfaced in late 2024, with insiders claiming that Lyles had prepared an elaborate setting to pop the question. However, by early 2025, their social media presence together had dwindled, sparking speculation about a possible split.
Sources close to the couple suggest that Bromfield had reservations about marriage and wanted to focus on her own career, which allegedly created tension within Lyles’ family.
Public Reaction and Silence from Parties
As of this writing, neither Noah Lyles nor Junelle Bromfield has made a public statement regarding the alleged lawsuit. Bromfield’s management team has declined to comment. Lyles’s representatives have also not confirmed whether he was aware of or involved in his mother’s decision to take legal action.
Public reaction has been mixed. Some fans have criticized the move as invasive and unnecessary, while others have expressed sympathy for Lyles and his family.
What’s Next?
The first court hearing is reportedly scheduled for late September 2025. Legal analysts believe the case may be dismissed early due to lack of precedent and legal grounds, but until then, it remains a bizarre and headline-grabbing chapter in the life of one of America’s top athletes.
