Noah Lyles is gearing up to defend his 100m title at the World Athletics Championships this weekend. They're taking place in Tokyo, with Lyles aiming to retain the 100m and 200m crowns he won in Budapest two years ago.

The 28-year-old secured his first 100m Olympic gold by the slimmest of margins last year and now faces fierce competition once again as he bids to retain his world crown. Lyles is looking to bolster his collection of six World Championship gold medals, having notably won the 200m three times. The Team USA sensation's track exploits have elevated Olympic champion Lyles to stardom beyond athletics. As Lyles pursues further World Championships glory, here's a glimpse into his life away from the sport.

Who is Noah Lyles' fiancee?

Lyles is engaged to Jamaican track and field star Junelle Bromfield, who has secured an Olympic bronze and World Championship silver in the women's 4x400m relay during her career. The pair began their relationship in 2022 before Lyles proposed in October 2024. They initially connected through social media and admitted that their original first date in 2017 was unsuccessful, but the duo rekindled their romance several years later.

Lyles and Bromfield share a home in Florida and have offered glimpses into their partnership. "When we became friends, I told him that I liked him because of [his] brutal honesty," Bromfield revealed on the . "That's what drew me to him."

Lyles responded by sharing his admiration for Bromfield. "Hearing stuff like that I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I need this woman in my life,' " he recalled, adding: "I already liked you but that's a solidified answer of like, 'Okay, we're going to grow old together, and it's going to be forever, and it's going to be constant.' Hearing things like that is like, 'Yeah, I'd want a woman like that to raise my kids.'"

What is Noah Lyles' net worth?

With his success on the track and his engaging personality, Lyles has bagged lucrative sponsorship deals that boost his income considerably. In 2024, Marca reported that Lyles' net worth stood at $5million (£3.7m).

Lyles is sponsored by sportswear giant Adidas. His portfolio also includes partnerships with energy drink titan Red Bull and prestigious Swiss watchmaker Omega.

Are Noah Lyles and Gout Gout friends?

Lyles is certainly aware of the up-and-coming Australian sprinter Gout Gout, who is eager to make his mark in Tokyo. The 17-year-old has drawn comparisons to Usain Bolt, having set numerous records early in his career.

Lyles and Gout first crossed paths at a training camp in Florida through their shared Adidas sponsorship and quickly established a strong rapport. "He calls me 'Little Bro', so we definitely have a great connection," Gout told Fox Sports Australia.

The duo reunited on the , where Gout expressed his ambition to surpass Lyles. "I'm trying to show you what's up. I'm trying to come out there with a bang," Gout admitted. "Whatever I've got to do to show Noah I'm coming for that spot. Obviously it's a learning experience, but deep down I'm trying to get a medal for sure, be in that final and running up Noah or trying to chase Noah down."

Lyles responded positively to Gout's competitive drive: "That's what I love to hear. I want you to come up to me and say, 'Yeah, I am going to take your spot.'"
