World record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is set to take the track by storm at the ongoing Paris Olympics. She has already qualified for the 400m hurdle finals after dominating the semis with a time of 52.13 seconds. She will take on her Dutch rival, Femke Bol, in the finals scheduled for Thursday, where she will be defending her hurdles title.

Her track-running prowess is boundless. Besides her professional endeavors, the New Brunswick native is married to former NFL wide receiver Andre Levrone. Before taking the wedding vows, the Olympian and her partner dated for almost two years.

The duo met each other through a mutual friend with whom Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone went to high school, while the same friend happened to be a college mate of Andre as well. During an interview with The Knot, the reigning Olympic champion revealed that they did not have any interaction until Andre slid into her DMs. The two soon became friends, and the hurdler said that after just four days of their conversation, she knew that he was "the one" for her. Their shared faith in God also played a significant role in their connection.

"A big part of meeting my fiancé had to do with the evolution of my faith, finding who I am in Christ and submitting all my plans to God. Not long after I did that, I met Andre," she told The Knot in 2022.

When did he propose?

One year after dating, the NFL star popped the question during her birthday celebrations in Arizona. As per her revelations, it was a surprise mutually planned by her friends and now husband. She received a letter during the festivities where Andre had asked her to come to the lawn, where he went down on his knees and proposed to her.

Announcing her engagement, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone took to her Instagram handle and wrote:

"Dear future husband, Till this day I still can’t comprehend how someone who possesses everything I’ve prayed for, has finally come into my life. Our growth together exceeds what the dates on a calendar show. I fall in love with you more and more each day off of the strength of your faith. Andre, you are the most God-fearing, passionate, honest, loving, hard working, protective, and genuine man I’ve ever met. I see Jesus in you."

When did they get married?

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Andre Levrone got married in 2022 just nine months after their engagement. The couple tied the knot in Madison, Virginia at the picturesque Early Mountain Vineyards. Wearing a Pallas Couture dress and Jimmy Choo heals, the Olympian took to her Instagram and wrote:

"Mr. & Mrs. Levrone. 05.06.2022"

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone once said that Andre is her 'biggest hype man', and he understands what it takes to be married to an athlete.
