Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield are finally in the City of Love! The both of them will be contesting on the picturesque purple tracks at the Stade of France. However, it looks like they have their biggest cheerleader in tow! Lyles’ mother, Keisha Caine, has opened her arms and heart for the 26-year-old Jamaican. While fans have already witnessed the beautiful bond they share, during the men’s 100m finals on August 4, a tear-jerking moment caught the world’s eye.

The 27-year-old set his sights on clinching his first Olympics gold at the French capital. Even though he didn’t cross the finish line first during the semi-finals, he knew he would bring home Olympic glory. Lyles went on to smoke his competition in 9.79 seconds, his new personal best. He edged out his Jamaican rival Kishane Thompson in an incredible photo finish, as Junelle and Keisha cheered him on from the stands.

Keisha Caine loves Junelle Bromfield as her own

As soon as the American knew he had made it to the top of the podium, he promptly made his way to where his loved ones were. With tears streaking down their faces, Lyles and Bromfield embrace each other lovingly. While the entire world let out a collective ‘aww’, one eagle-eyed fan picked out on an important detail. “I looked closer at this picture and Noah’s mum has the Jamaican flag painted on her nails in support for Junelle. She also drove 40 mins each way to take Junelle training. Even more impactful seeing as Junelle mum has passed. Unnu tek time with Junelle pls – that’s her family.” Could they be any cuter? We don’t think so either!

In 2021, the Jamaican’s mother, Sandra Farquharson, was diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer. Unfortunately, she lost her battle within a month, leaving behind a very distraught Bromfield. The only way she knew she could make it through this was by throwing herself in training. With the 2020 Tokyo Olympics approaching closer, the 26-year-old was hoping to turn this into a positive moment. But not only did her loss affect her mentally, she soon realized it was a lot deeper when she failed to hit the qualifying time for the Summer Games.

The track and field love birds have known each other since 2018. Despite feeling strongly for each other, they felt like the time just wasn’t right. However, they eventually debuted their budding romance on Instagram. While the two support and respect each other, Lyles’ mother played an equally important role in Bromfield’s life. Keisha Caine became a beacon of hope for the Jamaican, supporting her any way she could. The 26-year-old opened up about this beautiful equation in an interview with The Inside Lane.

After pointing out how she had made it a point to go to therapy, she gave Keisha Caine a well-deserved shout-out. “I want to give a big shout-out to my boyfriend and his mom because when I went to Florida, I wasn’t driving, and she took me to training and back every day, which was like 40 minutes. That’s a support that I’m extremely grateful for.” Watching two queens support each other is truly a refreshing sight!

Facing severe backlash for being a supportive girlfriend

Even though many can’t help but go ga-ga over their love story, not everyone seems to have heart eyes for the two. After Junelle Bromfield celebrated her American beau’s 100m win, many Jamaican fans threw harsh words her way. It all started when Lyles stated that he knew about the workings of the Jamaican camp when the 26-year-old used to train there. Taking offense for this ‘betrayal,’ many initially called her a ‘traitor’ among other things.

While things may have cooled down for a bit, it all came to a head when Noah Lyles walked away with a gold, despite Kishane Thompson crossing the finish line at the same time as him. Being the ever-supportive partner, Bromfield posted an image celebrating him with “The double is alive ‼️❤️” in the caption. But all that did was add more fuel to the fire. They were back to hating on the 26-year-old, stating how they wouldn’t be rooting for her when she steps onto the track.

Many well-meaning fans decided to put a stop it. They pointed out how the Jamaican is doing what every loving partner would do. Lyles has won 1 of the 3 events he would be contesting in. It was time for the 26-year-old to compete in the women’s 400m heats on August 5. The sprinter comfortably qualified for the semi-finals with her stellar time of 51.36 seconds. When reporters caught up to her post the thrilling event, she pointed out how it was their 2-year anniversary, and talked about his victory on August 4.

Junelle Bromfield opened up about how he’s always wanted to win the 100m dash at the Olympics. Watching him achieve that made her extremely happy. “Before he went out there yesterday, I told him that he was definitely going to win. After the semifinals, I told him the same thing. He and his whole family believed and he came out victorious.” As exciting as that was, his victory was just as inspiring for the Jamaican.

The sprinter continued, “His confidence is rubbing off on me. I’m out here running the individual 400m. I’ve been to the Olympics before, and the world championships, doing the 4x400m relay, and now I have my own lane here.” The two look to contest in a few more events at the Stade de France. It won’t be surprising to see Keisha Caine cheer them on from the stands. Are you excited to watch the lovebirds all blinged out in the French capital? Let us know in the comments!
