Olympic gold medalist Noah Ly and fellow Olympic sprint medalist Janelle Bramfield are engaged! The 27-year-old Noah shared the heartwarming proposal on social media, featuring a candle and sparkler-lit rose-covered heart display with the question “Will you marry me?” displayed on a neon sign.
Noah captioned the sweet video, “To my future wife, I will love you forever.” Janelle, of course, said yes as her family and friends cheered. She later flashed a diamond sparkler in a fun Instagram video with friends for everyone to see.

Both Noah and Janelle have impressive Olympic careers. Noah won the 200-meter bronze at the Tokyo and Paris games, in addition to becoming the first U.S. man to win the Olympic 100-meter since 2004. Janelle was part of Jamaica’s women’s 4×400 meter team that won bronze in Tokyo.
The mixed 4×400 meter team that placed seventh in Paris. She also made the individual 400-meter semi-finals and was part of the Jamaican mixed 4×400 meter team that placed fifth.
The pair have known each other for at least eight years and have been in a relationship since summer 2022. Earlier this year, the couple opened up about what initially drew them together. Janelle told the Inside Track podcast in March, “When we became friends, I told him that I liked him because of his brutal honesty,” and she refers to her romance with Noah as her “best relationship ever.”
