Olympic championNoah Lylesis known for his outgoing and expressive personality, calling himself a “showman” whenever he hits the track.
Lyles, who has been dating the Jamaican athlete since 2022, tells PEOPLE that he loves how Bromfield is able to see him in a different light than the public.
“Something that she says that truly makes me fall in love with her every time is, ‘I don’t really look at his personality on the track.’ That’s not the guy that she says she likes,” he says, smiling at her as she sits across from him.

That balance with Bromfield, 26, is, in part, how Lyles says he’s able to remain grounded as he continues to have a successful career.
“We’re both Olympic medalists, we’re both two-time Olympians, we’ve been to multiple world championships together. And even though our journeys are different, we still are fighters and we have a lot of the same qualities,” he says. “I think that’s what attracts us to each other to begin with. I feel that we don’t let our accolades really change the view of how we see each other.”
“Of course, I have a very large personality,” Lyles tells PEOPLE, “but having people who I feel are grounded around me and having a good support system keeps me closer to, hey, I have a great talent and it is seen in the public as a great thing, but at the end of the day, I’m just a normal human being.”
