Frances Tiafoe and Ayan Broomfield first met each other in 2014. In an interview with Essence magazine, the latter revealed the the two actually met as junior tennis players when a mutual friend introduced them, saying,

“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.”

Broomfield went on to add that for now, the couple are collectively focused on helping Tiafoe win a Grand Slam, saying,

“Right now, the goal is to get Frances to be a Grand Slam champion. So right now, obviously I have stuff on the side that I’m doing that’s for me personally so that I feel self-fulfilled, but at the end of the day, that’s the goal that we’ve kind of sat down and thought about. That’s what we’re going to go after.”

In 2025, Frances Tiafoe made an early exit at the Australian Open, where he lost out to Fabian Marozsan in the second round. The American delivered a better performance at the French Open, where he reached the quarterfinals. Up next, Tiafoe will compete at Wimbledon, where his best performance remains a fourth-round appearance made in 2022.
