Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who captured America’s heart at the Paris Olympics, is gearing up for her next milestone, the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Japan. Before that, she had already shone in the women’s 400mH and 400m sprint at the inaugural Grand Slam Track in April 2025. She happens to be the first runner to sign up for the Michael Johnson project. She is the current holder of the top 3 times in 400mH history, with the fastest coming at the Paris Olympics (50.37).

But Sydney Levrone isn’t just finding success on the track; she’s also thriving in life, thanks in part to the support of her husband. For Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the brightest light isn’t just the medals or records — it’s Andre Levrone Jr., the man who brings a rare sense of joy and steadiness to her journey. So, who is this man behind the champion?

Andre Levrone Jr.’s early life and background

Sydney’s ‘perfect man’ is Andre Levrone Jr. Born on March 9, 1995, and hailing from Maryland, USA, Levrone Jr. was the youngest of 3 siblings – 2 brothers and a sister. Andre comes from a household of athletic prominence. His father, Andre Levrone, was in the Marine Corps and played on the base team as a linebacker. And Levrone Jr.’s mother, Angie Levrone, has just as impressive a CV, having been a cheerleader, a gymnast, and a track and field athlete in her college days. So, it wasn’t surprising that their son started making waves in football back in 2009 at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School.

He was unstoppable, helping snag four Maryland State Championships in a row. His talents saw him go to the University of Virginia, a DI program, where he also earned a Bachelor’s degree in mass communication/media studies. But besides academics, his football career was at full throttle. Along with Olamide Zaccheaus and Doni Dowling, they became the first-ever receiving trio at the university to record 600 receiving yards in the very same season.

With a versatile and capable resume, Andre Levrone Jr. had many doors open for him.

Andre Levrone Jr.’s NFL career explained

Well, his NFL chapter didn’t have the smoothest of rides. After graduating in 2017, he found himself undrafted in the NFL. Levrone would sign with the Baltimore Ravens in April 2018. However, unlike during his college tenure, Levrone didn’t get going at the pro level. Injuries also played a part in it.

Soon he saw himself with the Carolina Panthers, where he stayed until October 2019. He then had a stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he would feature in some pre-season games. But some things must come to an end, right? Levrone decided to retire from American Football, after only 3 seasons in 2020 at the age of 25.

It was a difficult decision he had to make, but he had no regrets as he shared in the Instagram post in September 2020: “The early mornings, the late nights, the relationships formed, & the relationships lost. Many smiles, laughs, & tears. A fractured vertebrae & countless other ailments… it was ALL worth it. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have abided in my passion for so many years, & to have done so on every level.”

And the way the Olympian describes her husband–“the most God-fearing, passionate, honest, loving, hardworking, protective, and genuine man…” – that Andre Levrone would take this theological path is destiny.

But amidst his career transitions, one thing has been constant – his support for his wife and her iconic story.
