The video, filmed inside their car, quickly went viral among athletics fans for its humor and authentic charm.

In the clip, Lyles appears to be sitting in the passenger seat with a slight scowl on his face, prompting Bromfield to tease him. 

"Me and my passenger prince. Why you sad like an old man? That's not sexy," she joked, drawing laughter from followers who adore their playful exchanges online.

The teasing did not stop there. Bromfield then challenged her fiancé to an impromptu race in a parking lot—an amusingly brave move given that she was up against one of the fastest men on the planet.

 "Since you have a drink in your hand, I'm gonna race you with a phone in my hand," she declared in the video, setting up a showdown that fans couldn’t get enough of.

When Bromfield cheekily asked for a head start, Lyles quickly shut it down.  

"You said you want to race..You did not say you wanted an advantage," he replied. But the Jamaican sprinter playfully pushed back, saying, "No, but I want to jump stack," to which Lyles responded firmly, "No, you won't get that. You ask for it."

Their friendly competition ended in laughter when Bromfield cleverly caught Lyles off guard. 

After jokingly reminding him of his Olympic pedigree—"Baby, you are a 100m Olympic champion, I'm not racing you,"—she surprised him by giving the start command herself and sprinting off before he could even react. 

Fans were left in stitches as the video circulated widely, highlighting the couple’s fun-loving nature.

Beyond the playful moments, both athletes have shown immense support for each other’s careers. 

During the 2025 World Athletics Championships, Bromfield was seen cheering passionately from the stands as Lyles claimed yet another gold medal, solidifying his dominance on the track. 

Lyles, who has become one of the most recognizable faces in global athletics, recently expressed his emotions after securing his fourth consecutive 200m world title at the Tokyo 2025 World Championships. 

In an Instagram post following his victory, he reflected on what the event has meant to him over the years.

"4x 200m World Champion. The 200m has carried me around the world and shaped me in ways I never imagined. Each gold is more than a medal, it’s proof of the work, the struggle, and the love I have for this sport. Thank you for being part of the journey," Lyles wrote.

The American sprint icon has now claimed world championship golds in the 200m in 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2025—cementing his place among the greatest sprinters in modern history.
