He gained worldwide attention for saying NBA champions are not world champions, which earned him love and hate in equal measure.
In Paris, he became the first American to win the men's 100m Olympics title since 2004, defeating Jamaican Kishane Thompson by five-thousandths of a second.
He was looking to win two gold medals but was stunned by Letsile Tebogo in the 200m final.
The American sprinter shared a beautiful message to Bromfield, who represented Jamaica at the Paris Olympics.
"I just want to say how incredibly proud I am of my GF and give her the flowers she deserves now 💐. She has been through so much in her life that I could never imagine fighting through," Lyles wrote on X.
Lyles also praised Bromfield for being strong in the face of "disrespect" and "hatred".
"The most impressive thing I’ve seen recently is how she’s dealt with the pure disrespect and hatred towards her from her own country. This woman has been attacked by people who have never met her, heard her name before, never seen her smile, or heard what she believes in."
The couple have been together for two years, per Essence. Bromfield recently wrote on Instagram that they had been friends for seven years before they started dating.
