"Andre and I met when he slid into the DM," said McLaughlin-Levrone on their first interaction.
"What inspires me most about Andre is how much he pushes me to be the best that I can be. Not a lot of people truly see the purity in everybody but he does and in our relationship, there's never judgment. It's truly just love and concern and being able to have an open honest dialogue where you can get things out there."

The track star and her husband had a modern meet-cute in 2020 and they tied the knot just two years later. Although the pair rarely post about their relationship, Levrone is his wife’s biggest fan and is often seen cheering her on from the stands at most of her track meets.
On what their best and perfect date was like, McLaughlin said: "It was probably the second day we went to the beach, we brought food and didn't have forks and we ate salmon with our hands. It was such a bonding moment that now I'm like let's do this again."

The couple were at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she successfully defended her 400mH title in a new World and Olympic Record of 50.37s - her sixth time breaking the WR in her career.
After Levrone’s face was shown on the jumbotron, McLaughlin’s face visibly lit up. She later told NBC that having him in the crowd “means everything” to her.
“[He is] my best friend. My biggest supporter and my personal pastor,” she gushed. “I love him more than life itself.”
