Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield traded Olympics rings for wedding rings this past weekend. The Olympic stars tied the knot in a “magical” wedding in Trenton, Georgia, on Saturday. The wedding is the latest milestone in the athletes’ relationship, which began with Bromfield sending Lyles a spontaneous DM in 2018. “It led to a very long seven-year story of us eventually meeting, falling in love, being able to be with each other, not being able to be with each other and then finally getting into a relationship where we have always stayed together — and now have gotten married,” Lyles told Vogue, which got a behind-the-scenes look at the wedding. Bromfield wore a “clean, regal” wedding dress, while Lyles donned a deep chocolate suit to match the “All Shades of Melanin” theme.
