The annals of athletic history are proof, not many have been able to match Yohan Blake in sprinting. Well, he is the world’s second fastest man for a reason! But, was there anyone who matched his pace in life? Someone for whom the fleet-footed athlete could have even imagined sprinting to the moon and back?

Yes, we’re taking about Blake’s relationship status! Pull up any record book and his sprinting accomplishments would have been etched in golden ink. But not many know about Blake’s personal life. Thus, lets dive straight into the details of his documented romantic life.

Why is Yohan Blake single?

Yohan Blake ascended to great heights in his sprinting career, which did bring him a lot of fame and affluence. However, in terms of his dating life, it seems that the sprinter is yet to find an ideal match. As per Whos dated who, the 3x Olympian Yohan Blake is currently single. Although, it is a possibility that he was in relationship with a fellow Jamaican Ashley Bent, back in 2012.

However, it wasn’t so that Blake never had a special someone in his life. Apparently, he did. Back in 2019, an interview with Outlook featured Yohan Blake’s picture with his ‘new girlfriend’ Laura Pearson. She flashed the brightest smile while Blake posed in a t-shirt that had his 9.69 historic time printed on his back.

This wasn’t a single incident. Apparently, their expressions of love through social media had been a constant spotting for the followers. In 2019, Pearson shared a beautiful picture on Instagram, on the occasion of Blake’s birthday and typed a lovely caption for her man. “Happy birthday to the love of my life,” she wrote, as she wished her partner.

At one point, even Blake couldn’t help but shout out to the world how special Pearson made him feel. On her 25th birthday, he penned, “She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love.” “Take away my troubles, take away my grief. Take away my heartaches in the night like a thief. Happy birthday baby girl Laura Pearson.”

However, all this was back in 2019. Apparently, a lot has changed since then. There seemed to have been some challenges in Blake’s relationship with Pearson, given which the couple parted their ways. Thus, as of 2023, Yohan Blake was not committed to anyone. But what about 2024? Let’s find out.

Is Yohan Blake dating anyone? The Jamaican answers

Post his long-term relationship with Pearson, earlier this year, Yohan Blake was part of an announcement that drew all the attention towards his private life. He was seen in an interview with anchor Simone Clarke, where she openly announced that Blake was looking for a wife. She said, ““Meanwhile, the second fastest man of all-time, Yohan Blake, is looking for a wife.”

She further went onto describe, “Yohan needs a woman who is good to him, who loves God, who loves family, who wants to support him in all he does.” This confirmed that Blake was now in search of a new partner. Someone, “who is not looking for stuff , Yeah he got stuff but he ain’t looking for stuff…” Clarke said. Then, pointing towards her heart, she continues, “He’s looking for a relationship, that starts here, like the one his mom and dad had.” Clarke mentioned that if someone is ‘this person’, Blake would be the one for them.

Whilst Clarke goes on to state all this, Blake can be seen standing at the back, with his hands in the pocket and listening patiently. He also had an evident smile throughout, which hinted that he probably agrees with what Clarke was saying. Moreover, the final revelation soon came in. Towards the end, Clarke looked at Blake and questioned, “Right Yohan?” To this the sprinter affirmed by saying, “Right!”

This right here was the big confirmation. And therefore, it can be said that Yohan Blake’s quest for his better half still continues.
