Fans slam track star Noah Lyles for reaction to his bride’s wedding dress

  • Track star Noah Lyles faced online criticism for his underwhelming reaction to seeing his wife, Junelle Bromfield, in her wedding dress for the first time.
  • A viral TikTok video of his first look from their April 4 wedding showed Lyles commenting, “Oh wow, OK. I didn’t think you’d go with the princess dress”.
  • Many viewers criticized Lyles for not offering a more enthusiastic compliment to Bromfield's gown, with one fans saying it would “ruin my whole day”.
  • Bromfield later defended Lyles in a follow-up TikTok video, explaining she was “overstimulated” and upset on the day, and his reaction was an attempt to engage and cheer her up.
  • She clarified that Lyles was surprised by the “princess dress” because she had previously told him she would wear a mermaid style, which he dislikes, and she had multiple outfits for the wedding day.
