Who is Olympic hurdler Sydney McLaughlin's husband?

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has set the standard on the track for the 400m hurdles. The former University of Kentucky runner has two gold medals — one in the 400m hurdles and one in the 400m race — from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, and she’s expected to win another this year in Paris.

McLaughlin-Levrone has six of the top-10 times in the 400m hurdles, including the World Record pace of 50.65 that she set in the 2024 Olympic trials in June. She will only be running the hurdles in this Olympics.

In her cheering section will be husband Andre Levrone, a former football player at the University of Virginia. Levrone had 46 receptions for 864 yards and eight touchdowns as a Cavalier before being picked up by the Baltimore Ravens as a free agent.

He would spend time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Carolina Panthers before his time in the NFL ended, but Levrone has since worked as a real estate agent and project engineer.

The couple started dating in 2020, got engaged in 2021 and were married in 2022.

Preliminary rounds for the women’s 400m hurdles begin on August 4 in Paris.
