Junelle Bromfield has disclosed how Noah Lyles played a huge role in her healing journey from online trolls and her mother's loss.

Junelle Bromfield has opened up on the helping hand of her boyfriend Noah Lyles who helped her overcome her mother’s loss and struggles post the Olympic Games and find her spark once again.

The two-time Olympian revealed that Noah Lyles is always emphasizing on mental health and he always wants everyone he works with or surrounds himself with to be okay before anything else.

Junelle Bromfield revealed that there is a lot she has learnt from the triple world champion like getting into therapy and always engaging in things that satisfy her soul. From that, she has learnt how to be strong and overcome the challenges she has faced.

“My boyfriend Noah is very supportive and he is so big on mental health and he is a person who believes that whatever he is doing for himself, he should do it for his team also, his family and everybody around him should be in a great mental state. I’ve been gaining a lot from that and I feel like that makes me strong right now,” Junelle Bromfield said on Sim Soul Sessions.

Following the death threats, she received before and after the Olympic Games, Junelle Bromfield was afraid to go back to Jamaica and Noah Lyles’ mother Keisha Caine Bishop was gracious enough to host her.

The Jamaican quarter-miler noted that Noah Lyles’ mother would always take her to training and pick her up every single day.

She revealed that tons of Jamaicans attacked her and expressed their negative wishes, others telling her that they ‘wished my foot gets broken when I’m running at the Olympics and if I came home, they were going to basically kill me.’

“That was an unexpected situation since I’m not used to people taking me in just like that. She never asked me for anything…prior to meeting her before I went to Florida I had only met her once and she never asked me to pay rent and she took me to practice every morning and she was always there to pick me up. She taught me how to drive,” she revealed.
