Noah Lyles comes from a family of Olympians including a former American holder and two-time Olympics champion.
In 2018, during her pregnancy with Camryn, the Olympic champion faced severe complications, including a diagnosis of preeclampsia at just 32 weeks.
The life-threatening condition required an emergency C-section, an experience Felix later described as harrowing.
In a 2021 Facebook post, Felix shared a raw and emotional moment from that period, recalling how her husband, Kenneth, captured a photograph of her as her health rapidly deteriorated.
“My husband took this photo of me when things were quickly spiraling downhill with my pre-eclampsia. I saw it months after. It became one of my favorites because it’s real and raw,” she wrote.
“I also cherish it because I can feel his love for me even when I was unaware.”

Kenny Bednarek was inducted into the Indian Hills Hall of Fame, honoring his journey from college sprinter to Olympic silver medalist.
Felix also used the post to express her gratitude for Ferguson’s unwavering support.
“Taking a moment to express my deep appreciation for @supermanferg on this journey. His sacrifices for me to realize this dream have been massive. He has always stood back and allowed me to shine. I’m so blessed to have him as a partner,” she added.
The couple’s experience with preeclampsia also shone a spotlight on the racial disparities in maternal healthcare.
Various medical reports indicates that preeclampsia is significantly more prevalent among African-American women, contributing to higher risks during childbirth.
