"We said I DO…… And now we’re getting ready to say ‘hello’ to our little one. Our hearts are overflowing with so much joy and gratitude. Our journey as husband and wife has just begun, and already it’s growing in the most beautiful way."

Bromfield reacted to the post and dropped a sweet message for the soon-to-be mother. She wrote:

Competing in the 2024 track season, Britany Anderson faced an immense setback at the Jamaican Championships, where she couldn't qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics after finishing fifth in the second heats of the event.

Competing after a successful World Championships in 2022, where she won the silver medal behind Tobi Amusan, Anderson was one of the major candidates to represent Jamaica in the 100m hurdles category. Barring the qualifiers, Anderson registered several top podium finishes in other meets around the world.

She won the 100m hurdles race at events such as the Italian Club Championships, X Athletic Elite meeting, Savona International meeting, etc. Besides, Anderson was the second position holder at the ISTAF Berlin meet.
