Who Is Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's Husband, Andre Levrone Jr? Ex-NFL Star Who Slid Into Her DMs

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has done it again. The Olympic gold medalist has etched her name deeper into history by setting a championship record in the 400m flat race in Tokyo. Completing her run in 47.78 seconds, the American sprinter stormed across the finish line. She was just a little short of breaking the long-standing world record of 47.60. But what made her win even more special was the presence of her biggest supporter and husband, Andre Levrone Jr, in the audience. Here's everything you must know about him.

Who is the man behind one of the world's fastest women, Andre Levrone Jr? 

Andre Levrone Jr, 29, is no stranger to the world of competitive sports. He is a former wide receiver who played in the NFL with teams including the Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, and Jacksonville Jaguars. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia. But Andre left the world of football in 2020 after two decades of playing. He admitted to his fans that the difficult decision allowed him to pursue a new chapter in life as he continued to be grateful for his journey in football.

After stepping away from the world of football, Andre has diverted his energy into building a life with his wife. Sydney. He has been her constant support as she continues to dominate the athletic world. The ex-NFL star has never shied away from expressing his pride in Sydney as she continues to pursue her dream. He describes their marriage as a partnership where they are "co-laborers in life." Needless to say, he has been her biggest cheerleader both on and off the field.

How did Andre Levrone Jr and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone fall in love? 

Andre Levrone Jr and Sydney McLaughlin's whirlwind romance began in a rather millennial way. The duo met through social media. Although they shared a mutual friend, the two didn't connect until Andre slid into her DMs. Soon their casual conversations turned into something intentional, with Bible study sessions and shared faith. Sydney later admitted she knew he was the one just days after meeting, while Andre confessed he was sure by their third date. The couple got engaged in 2021, and less than a year later, they tied the knot in a vineyard wedding in Virginia.

Sydney's latest triumph in Tokyo adds another feather to her hat. Taking to the track in lane five, she made a strong start despite the rain during the run. Throughout most of the race, she took a lead. However, there were times when the Dominican Republic's Marileidy Paulino threatened her lead briefly in the final stretch. Still, Sydney held firm and backed herself through the last meters to secure her victory. Although she narrow missed breaking the world record, she has registered the second-fastest in history. At the same time, Sydney has set a new championship record. Next, it will be essential to see how she keeps up with the form and prepares for the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

Meanwhile, Andre Levrone Jr continues to stand by his wife, Sydney, by becoming her anchor as she sprints towards her dreams with complete determination.
