Sprinter Sydney McLaughlin is currently making headlines with her athletic exploits. This has piqued fans’ interest in her personal life, especially regarding her husband Andre Levrone. But who is Andre Levrone, on and off the field?
Here are all the available details regarding Sydney McLaughlin’s husband and her rich athletic lineage.
Who is Sydney McLaughlin married to?
According to Sportskeeda, Sydney McLaughlin is married to Andre Levrone. The two first met in 2020 and connected over their shared beliefs about Christianity. Their relationship was confirmed by Levrone later that year after he shared a picture of the two on Instagram. Andre eventually popped the big question in August 2021, after which they got married in May 2022.
Sydney McLaughlin’s husband has also made a name for himself in the sporting industry. Levorne is an ex-NFL player who rose to prominence in 2018 after signing with the Baltimore Ravens. He also signed with the Carolina Panthers and then later with the Jacksonville Jaguars before retiring from the sport in 2020. Aged 25, Andre Levrone switched fields to real estate and has been working as a project engineer ever since.
Who are Sydney McLaughlin’s parents?
As per Essentially Sports, Sydney McLaughlin was born in 1999 to parents Willie McLaughlin and Mary Neumeister McLaughlin. Mary participated in and completed a half-mile run at Cardinal O’Hara High School. She then proceeded to join the men’s track team at Manhattan College, where she met her eventual partner, Willie.
Willie, on the other hand, has played his hands at both field athletics as well as basketball. He famously became one of the five finalists for Sports Illustrated Magazine’s Male Athlete of the Year award in 1987.
Despite having such over-achieving individuals in her life, Sydney McLaughlin has arguably surpassed everyone with her achievements. The young prodigy is a proud Olympic gold medalist, having secured the elusive prize in 400m and 4x400m hurdles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The present world record in 400m hurdles, which is 50.68 seconds, is also held by McLaughlin, who cemented this achievement at the 2022 World Athletics Championships. After missing last year’s action due to an injury, the 24-year-old athlete is set to return at the 2024 Olympics.
