In addition to Andre Levrone Jr. declaring that Sydney McLaughlin was "heaven sent" in his Instagram announcement, he and his girlfriend have made it no secret that they've prioritized their faith in recent years. In fact, on McLaughlin's Instagram bio, the Olympic athlete tells her followers, "Jesus saved me," and Levrone Jr.'s Instagram bio reads, "Yet not I, but through Christ in me" and "JESUS IS THE ANSWER."
Meanwhile, on Twitter, a message on McLaughlin's bio declares she is a "child of God," as the background photo reads, "saved by grace," and a note on her boyfriend's Twitter bio reads, "No God, no peace. Know God, know peace." And his background photo contains the text, "God never said the weapons wouldn't form, he just promised they wouldn't prosper."
In 2016, McLaughlin opened up about the role faith has played in her athletic endeavors. During an interview with Catholic News Agency, she said, "Something like track is a very mental sport. There's a lot of pressure and there's a lot of expectation put on you. Sticking to what I know and believing that everything I've been given comes from God definitely played a big role for me."
