Noémie's older sister and fellow Olympic canoeist Jess Fox simply shared two emojis: "💛🥹".
Many did not know who Dupras was to Noémie until he threw himself into the water alongside older sister Jess during her history-making victory at the Olympic Games Paris 2024
Noémie had won the gold medal in the kayak cross, becoming the first-ever Olympic champion in that event.
She previously spoke to nine.com.au about her long-term partner.
"I could never have achieved this level and those results if I didn't have his support," she said.
"The fact that he understands all that and realises the lengths we went to ... it's so incredible."
Though they've been an item for years, most Australians watching at home didn't recognise Dupras when he wrapped his arms around Noémie that day in Paris.
The French athlete competed at a national level before becoming a coach in 2018, by which time he'd been dating Noémie for a while.
In 2021, he moved to Australia to coach and became Noémie's coach ahead of Paris 2024.

He and Noémie are "very private" they said.
"We are, at the end of the day, very private people and there's always been this part of me that has never wanted to show too much," she says.
