Frances Tiafoe has been dating fellow tennis star, Ayan Broomfield since 2015. They met each other during the early phases of their tennis careers. At that time, Tiafoe had just turned pro and was a year away from being named one of the Top 100 tennis players in the world. While Broomfield was then busy competing professionally and earning the world 467th ranking in the women’s doubles. Together they’ve been perfect examples of how to stay in a healthy relationship amid busy schedules. Recently, Frances Tiafoe was also spotted giving some dating tips to men. During a recent fun interaction on ‘What The Vlog,’ he was seen speaking on who should always pay the bill on a date.

The question that was thrown to Frances Tiafoe on this funny interaction in the recent episode of the ‘What The Vlog’ was, “If you go on a date and the bill comes and it’s like you pay 50-50. What’s your reaction to that? Like what do you think about that?” He was asked if he’d split the bill 50-50 or will he pay the bill fully or let the girl pay. His reply to this question was, “Obviously I’ve been dating someone for 10 years so, but even so I mean I pick up the bill.

Tiafoe further went on to add, “I think that’s the men’s job is to pick up the bill every time. Obviously, I think it’s full stuff.” Why does he think men should be the ones who should raise their hand first when it comes to paying the bill? Well, Frances Tiafoe elaborated, “I don’t like the awkwardness though. It’s like someone pulling out their card…when I see that in movies I’m like…I mean I’ve been with someone for 10 years I don’t have that experience but I’m saying like when I see that in movies, I’m like that’s so weird to me…I’m not going to put anyone on the spot.
