Junelle Bromfield battles career struggles and backlash but finds strength through love and support from fiancé Noah Lyles during tough times.
Jamaican athlete Junelle Bromfield has endured a journey in her track and field career which has been filled with early struggles, heartbreak, and recently, immense public backlash.

But the road to glory was never paved with ease — especially in a country where expectations for athletes run high and public loyalty runs even higher.
“So one of the nicest things you’ve done for me is listen to all that I said I was lacked when I was growing up and tried to give it to me,” Bromfield shared in a heartfelt conversation with Lyles in a video released by The Knot on April 28, 2025.
That video has sparked renewed attention on Bromfield’s story, one marked by resilience and quiet suffering.
Her recent support for her fiancé, Noah Lyles, during the 2024 Paris Olympics especially over fellow Jamaican sprinter Kishane Thompson drew sharp criticism at home.
The backlash escalated to the point where she reportedly felt unsafe returning to Jamaica.

Top 7 Most Expensive Trophies in the World
From the FIFA World Cup to the FA Cup and prestigious Ballon d'Or discover the most expensive trophies in the world.
Despite her Olympic pedigree and status as a national athlete, Bromfield’s career had seen turbulent times even before Paris.
In 2023, she failed to secure a podium finish in any of the six events she competed in. Heading into the Jamaican Olympic Trials for Paris, her chances were slim, and so was her belief.
“So I was in Jamaica, I wasn’t making any national teams or anything, so it was nice to have somebody who’s at the top of their game telling you that you can also do it too, whatever you’re going through,” said Bromfield.
The pressure of elite athletics is daunting enough — add to that a wave of bullying, racism, and even death threats, and it becomes nearly impossible to bear alone.
But Bromfield did not have to. Noah Lyles, by then already a sprinting sensation with a bronze from Tokyo and a clean sweep at the 2023 World Championships, stepped in not just as a partner but as her strongest supporter.
