Frances Tiafoe has always been his girlfriends Ayan Broomfield’s biggest hype man. Remember this Valentine’s Day? When Tiafoe channeled his romantic self for Broomfield with large “I Love You” balloons and a bouquet of red roses so grand that it could rival a GS trophy? Ten years into the relationship, his gestures for Broomfield still lands like a match-winning ace. Now the 27-year-old player is back at it with a reaction so pure that it speaks volumes of his feelings for his ladylove.

Tiafoe started his season with the Brisbane International but fell short to Giovanni Mptshi Perricard in R16 by 4-6 and 6-7. He then participated in the Melbourne Slam, but his loss against Fabian Marozsan by 6-7, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, and 6-1 forced him to exit the Slam in R16. Tiafoe’s run at the Dallas Open also ended unimpressively, with a loss against Yoshihito Nishikota in the R16 by 6-3, 4-6, and 3-6. Despite three consecutive heartbreaks, this American ATP star preps for his upcoming run at the Mexican Open, against Alexandre Muller tomorrow. Amidst practice and preparation, Big Foe didn’t forget to hype his social media influencer girlfriend Ayan Broomfield, whom he started dating in 2015.

Broomfield, a 2019 NCAA Division I doubles champion, shared some photos on her IG profile, stunning in an all-black outfit. She captioned those pictures, “back to blackkkk in Aspen (black heart emoji)” As soon as Broomfield shared her recent look with her followers, the post went viral with uncountable comments and likes. Among them was Broomfield’s ATP star boyfriend, whose three heart emojis echoed his admiration for his talented belle.

Tiafoe and Broomfield spent a decade as a couple, inspiring others about companionship and support. When Broomfield shared her pictures from her Isla Mujeres trip in February, posing in a stunning dress against a breathtaking backdrop, she mesmerized her followers with her eccentric styling sense and glamour. Her followers showered her with many compliments, but one special reaction delighted everyone- from her beau Frances Tiafoe. The ATP star dropped five red heart emojis to showcase his feelings, showing that words are not always enough to describe how he feels for Broomfield.

The Couple met through a mutual friend in 2015 and instantly connected. Although tennis played a big role in their romance, Broomfield and Tiafoe’s love journey started way before the ATP star’s worldwide popularity in the sport. Reflecting on their meeting, Broomfield once said in an interview with the Essence, “We both played junior tennis at a very high level. I’m from Canada, so I was playing for my country, Frances was playing for the States. And then one of our mutual friends was like, ‘Well, you guys actually would be really good friends.’ So we started talking then and became best friends for a bit. It’s been eight, nine years now. It’s been a journey,” she said.

Broomfield and Tiafoe have been each other’s rock. While the ATP star hardly fails to offer her belle a princess treatment, his belle also motivates her talented boyfriend on the path of success.
