Olympian Noah Lyles Defends His Girlfriend From 'Disrespect and Hatred'
Olympian is sticking up for his girlfriend, , against online trolls.
“I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of my GF and give her the flowers she deserves now 💐. She has been through so much in her life that I could never imagine fighting through,” Lyles, 27, began in a lengthy Instagram caption shared Saturday, August 17. “Beyond that she is a survivor, 2x Olympian, Olympic medalists, Multi world championship medalist, and has been representing Jamaica on the world stage since she was 8 years old.”
He went on to state that even more impressive than her athletic accomplishments “is how she’s dealt with the pure disrespect and hatred towards her from her own country,” adding, “This woman has been attacked by people who have never met her, heard her name before, never seen her smile, or heard what she believes in.”
He concluded his caption by writing: “But she keeps moving forward knowing that God will always make a way. That’s why God keeps blessing her!”

You tried so hard to make me feel better to help me see the positive in life and how god will always pull me out of a dark situation.”
She continued: “Christmas that year I didn’t receive any gifts. When you found out that you made it your duty to buy me whatever I wanted ❤️ because you said Christmas is about giving and no friend of yours will go without a gift. That’s the type of person you are 🫂 I love and appreciate you always.”
The couple, who began dating in 2022, did not share specifics of the negative comments made toward Bromfield. However, Bromfield recently faced backlash after Lyles implied during an episode of the “Track World News” podcast that she shared internal details about the Jamaican track and field team with him.

Courtesy of Noah Lyles/Instagram“I have been getting the drama from the Jamaican camp [for] at least five years now,” he said last month. “There [are] a lot of times where I make references about Jamaicans, but I am not trying to go back and forth, like, I know information that other people don’t.”
One user claimed in the comments section of Lyles’ Instagram post that Jamaicans don’t dislike Bromfield. “She told you something about what’s happening in Jamaica with the other athletes and YOU took it to the media and then in said commentary you wished bad for our athletes,” the comment continued. “That’s what caused all of this. I know of Junelle from high school days and she is loved. The unfortunate hate she’s receiving is YOUR doing. Maybe an apology to the people of Jamaica could help fix all of this!”

Lyles and Bromfield first connected via social media in 2017 and ran into each other again while competing at the Tokyo Olympics three years later. They were both dating other people at the time. The duo returned for the 2024 Paris Olympics, which concluded earlier this month.
Bromfield — who previously won a bronze medal in Tokyo — did not score any major wins in Paris. Lyles, for his part, walked away with a gold medal in the men’s 100-meter final and a bronze medal in the men’s 200-meter final. He pulled out of competing in the men’s 4×100 meter relay after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
