Noah Lyles isn’t just the fastest man on the track; he’s a force redefining what it means to be a track and field superstar. As the reigning Olympic 100m champion, clocking a blistering 9.79 seconds in Paris 2024, Lyles has transcended the sport with a magnetic personality and a knack for grabbing headlines. His sponsorship game is just as strong, with a record-breaking Adidas contract extension through the 2028 LA Olympics, dubbed “the richest in track and field since Usain Bolt’s retirement” by his agency.
This deal, inked in February 2024, builds on his partnership with Adidas since turning pro in 2016, cementing his status as a marketable icon. Beyond sneakers, Lyles launched Iconic Productions with Box to Box Films, the minds behind Formula 1: Drive to Survive, aiming to elevate the track’s cultural footprint through storytelling. But how does a sprinter with such a relentless drive balance his vision with the world’s pace?
On the Stagwell podcast, Lyles got real about his relentless drive. “I get these visions and ideas and concepts, and I constantly want to be like go, go, go,” he shared. “But not everybody is ready for that. And I have to tell myself that just because I see it doesn’t mean everybody else sees it.” And who calms these ambitious compulsions? Well, it’s his fiancée, Junelle Bromfield. Sometimes it’s also Mark from his inner circle.
“That’s why I have Junelle, my fiancée, around to, to remind me, ‘Hey, you’re moving at a million miles per minute with your ADD,’” she reminds him. “’Not everybody else got the same mindset. You gotta find another angle to work it. You gotta be patient.’” This way, Junelle balances the ropes of ambition and restraint that fuel Noah Lyles’ off-track moves. But how does this mindset translate to his fight for bigger change?
Lyles is pushing boundaries beyond the track, challenging the IOC’s restrictive 40-day sponsorship rule to secure better financial equity for athletes. His Adidas deal, estimated at over $2 million annually, sets a new standard, but he’s not just chasing checks, he’s building a legacy. Can Lyles’ vision and patience reshape track and field’s future? What about his plans with Junelle, her fiancée?
Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield are sprinting towards a spring 2026 wedding
Well, Noah Lyles and his fiancée, Junelle Bromfield, a Jamaican track star, are gearing up for a spring 2026 wedding that’s already sparking buzz. The couple, who’ve been together since 2022, are deep in planning, but their visions for the big day don’t quite align. Lyles, ever the showman, dreams of a grand celebration, while Bromfield leans toward an intimate vibe.
After some back-and-forth, Lyles seems to have taken the lead. “If we keep it under 200 [people], that’d be great,” he told PEOPLE magazine. But Bromfield’s not sitting on the sidelines; her Jamaican roots will shine through with authentic cuisine and vendors from her homeland, promising a cultural flair to the festivities. So, how will they balance their bold personalities in the ceremony?
When it comes to their vows, the couple’s approaches couldn’t be more different. Lyles, true to his flashy style, is betting on spontaneity. “I have a bet going on with my brother’s girlfriend,” he shared with PEOPLE. “I told her about two years ago that I would wing my vows, and I stand true to that.” Bromfield, however, isn’t taking chances.
“I most definitely will not [be winging them]. I get nervous in big crowds, so I need to write my vows,” she said. This contrast, Lyles’ off-the-cuff confidence versus Bromfield’s careful preparation, mirrors their dynamic on and off the track. Can their unique styles blend to make their wedding day a perfect lap?
