Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is a track and field star currently competing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and while talking about her, I will do my best not to use any puns about jumping hurdles, running circles around the competition, or giving anyone a run for their money. Sydney first competed at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, qualifying before her senior year of high school. During qualifiers, she set a new world youth best and world junior record but ultimately did not advance to the finals in Rio. She returned to the 2021 Tokyo Games and won a gold medal.
As a surprise to absolutely no one, Sydney was recruited for the University of Kentucky’s track and field team and attended for one year before forfeiting her eligibility to compete in college to turn professional. That same year, she signed a sponsorship deal with New Balance, and after a “huge bidding war,” she reportedly got an estimated $1.5 million in annual base pay from the brand.
Considering I only run away from my problems, Sydney takes her career very seriously. Just scrolling through her Instagram is enough motivation to get you outside for a hot girl walk — or at least buy a new sports bra. She lends the same tenacity to her dating life and gives off the vibes of the mentally stable friend who suggests you “just talk” to your partner instead of burning their house down.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone’s Dating History
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone’s Husband
Sydney is married to former NFL player Andre Levrone Jr. Their relationship began after Andre slid into her DMs, and the pair, who are devout Christians, were serious from the get-go.
“We both knew early on that we liked each other and what our intentions were,” Sydney told The Knot in 2022. “If I could say the one thing about our relationship, it’s that it was always very intentional. Honestly, I knew the fourth day we ever talked.”
Andre popped the question in 2021 at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona, while Sydney was celebrating her birthday with girlfriends. He surprised her on the back lawn with a proposal, and Sydney said she kept thinking: “Don’t fall. Don’t look ugly in these pictures.” A relatable queen!
They wed nine months later at Early Mountain Vineyards in Madison, Virginia.
Who Has Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone Dated?
Andre is the only man Sydney’s had a public relationship with to date. She gave a bit of insight into her previous romances while explaining why her husband is The One.
“It was the first time I was in a relationship with a man who I felt could lead me in my faith to a place where I wanted to be,” she told The Knot.
Before meeting Andre, Sydney (obviously) stayed busy with her intensive career but always kept her eye on self-improvement.
“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,” she said. “Not long after I did that, I met Andre.”
