Tommy Paul’s wedding moment goes viral as Frances Tiafoe hilariously re-enacts his tearful reaction
Tommy Paul’s tearful reaction to seeing his wife Paige Lorenze walk down the aisle at their July 15 wedding has been re-enacted by his ATP Tour rival Frances Tiafoe in a viral clip shared by Tiafoe’s girlfriend Ayan Broomfield on TikTok.
What happened at the wedding
Paul and Lorenze, who have been together since 2022, tied the knot on Wednesday, July 15. Tiafoe and Broomfield attended the ceremony as guests. Tiafoe later posted a playful re-enactment of Paul’s emotional moment when Lorenze appeared at the aisle, mimicking his stunned, tearful expression.
The clip was recorded by Broomfield and shared on her TikTok account. It quickly gained traction online, adding a lighthearted twist to Paul’s recent high-profile personal milestone.
Why the moment matters for Tommy Paul
Paul, 29, has kept details of his wedding private despite media interest. At Wimbledon, where he played earlier this month, reporters asked about the upcoming nuptials. He declined to share specifics and confirmed Lorenze would not be in his box during the tournament, regardless of his progress.
The American exited Wimbledon in the third round on July 4, losing in four sets to Hubert Hurkacz of Poland. His run ended after a strong start, including a second-round win over qualifier Dennis Novak.
How the rivals bond off the court
Tiafoe and Paul have been close friends since their junior days. In a 2025 podcast appearance, Tiafoe recalled their younger selves as “goofy” and prone to reckless antics. “Tommy was just as much of a clown as I was,” Tiafoe said, describing past stunts like jumping fences and getting injured during training.
These days, Paul has grown more serious, according to Tiafoe. Their friendship remains strong despite their on-court battles, including matches at Queen’s Club in 2024.
What’s next for Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe
Both Americans are set to return to action in the North American hard-court swing. They’re both entered in the ATP Masters 1000 event in Montreal, which begins on Saturday, August 1.
The swing also includes Washington and culminates with the US Open in New York. Paul will look to build on his recent grass-court run while Tiafoe eyes another deep run in a major.
