Is Junelle's Beyonce distraction a sign of cultural shock, or just a playful engagement moment?

Noah Lyles recently had a little slip-up during a conversation with Junelle Bromfield, saying, “There’s my girlfriend—oh, my fiancee!” It’s only been about a month since they got officially engaged, but within that short time, it seems Jenelle’s been “distracted” by someone else. After all the drama with packing issues and engagement ring discussions, another distraction cropped up while Noah was sharing his full training session on his YouTube channel from Las Vegas.

In the video, Noah and Junelle were walking through their workout routine, where Noah explained, “So we’re going to warm up, then do a complex with things like abs, jumping, and bounding. After that, we’ll do timed runs to get in shape and improve our cardiovascular fitness.” It all sounded pretty focused, but as they were talking, Junelle seemed to have something else on her mind. She looked around, then said, “Wait, is that Beyonce?” Noah, laughing, smiled and replied, “My fiancee is distracted.”

Junelle didn’t stop there, joking, “Swear I saw Beyonce in that building just now!” Noah, still amused, said, “I mean, it’s very possible.” It quickly became clear that Junelle was more interested in the idea of Beyonce and that she could ditch training sessions with Noah Lyles; she even said, “If there’s a Beyonce concert, I’m going.” Noah shot back with, “No, there’s no Beyonce concert.

While Junelle instantly apologized, “I’m sorry for this distracting. You can continue… I’m sorry Beyonce distracted me but Beyonce would distract a lot of people to be fair,” Noah just agreed, saying, “Yeah, she’s definitely distracting. She’s a very high-profile person.” This playful exchange came right after Noah had been teasing Junelle earlier in the session, and Junelle’s comment might have been a bit of revenge.

Junelle Bromfield’s culture shock in the U.S. has Noah Lyles cracking up!

What’s your perspective on:

Is Junelle's Beyonce distraction a sign of cultural shock, or just a playful engagement moment?

Have an interesting take?

Junelle Bromfield, the Jamaican sprinter, has been adjusting to life in the U.S. since getting engaged in October to Noah Lyles, and there’s a lot to get used to. From the weather and food to cultural differences, everything’s been a bit of a surprise. But one thing that really caught her off guard was how massive American universities are. While they were training at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Junelle turned to Noah and said, “Universities in the U.S. don’t look like universities, just spacious, looks like a sporting complex.

Bromfield even explained how different it is from what she’s used to back home. “Even when we go to Gainesville, you have like the medical building right here and you have to drive like a mile to see the next building and you’re like…!” she laughed, adding, “I am accustomed to everything joined together. If there is a section to them, it’s like a two-minute walk.”

Noah enjoyed teasing Junelle and playfully argued with her when she described a university as a school, with a grin on his face. “That’s a high school,” she retorted firmly without giving in to his joke, “That’s not a high school.” Noah persisted in his banter by insisting it was indeed a high school. Junelle stood her ground and asserted confidently, “That’s a university, stop it.”

Noah, still smirking, responded, “Nope, that’s my high school.” It’s obvious that Junelle’s getting used to life in the U.S., but with their engagement happening last October, these lighthearted moments are all part of the excitement as they prepare for married life.
