From stepping in as a body double in the Oscar-winning King Richard to curating standout content for top-tier brands in tennis fashion and travel, Ayan Broomfield has gracefully evolved beyond the baseline. Once unsure about being an influencer, admitting, “I didn’t think the whole content creation-influencer thing was for me,” Ayan has now found her rhythm in the digital space. With longtime partner Frances Tiafoe by her side, she’s carved a unique lane that blends sport, style, and storytelling. Most recently, the 27-year-old’s creative flair caught the attention of the WNBA, proving her impact in sports marketing goes far beyond just professional tennis.
From NCAA champion to digital trailblazer, the WTA ace Ayan Broomfield has rewritten her journey in the most inspiring way. Once hoisting the NCAA doubles title in 2019 while representing UCLA, the Toronto-born tennis ace had no clue that her relationship with the sport was about to transform. After years of grinding through the junior circuit and representing the Canadian flag, Broomfield’s competitive career came to a sudden halt, leaving her unsure of what came next. But rather than stepping away completely, she pivoted and found a new way to stay connected to the sport she loved.
Today, the 27-year-old is making waves off the court as a content creator, model, and advocate for equality. And recently, she surprised fans by stepping in as a host as well, not in tennis, but at a WNBA event.
Opill, the US’s first FDA-approved over-the-counter daily birth control pill brand, hosted a special activation event at the 2025 WNBA Draft in Manhattan, New York. The event, which celebrated both the launch of Opill and the excitement surrounding the WNBA draft, featured several WNBA stars, including Aneesah Morrow, Courtney Williams, Dearica Hamby, Georgia Amoore, and Aaliyah Nye. The event was hosted by tennis ace Ayan Broomfield, who later shared a video of the event on her IG. She captioned it: “Hosted the @opill_otc activation at the 2025 @WNBA Draft presented by @statefarm . What an amazing night and congratulations to all of the draftees! #OpillPartner #WNBADraft #WNBA.”
Not only did Ayan Broomfield shine in her hosting role, but the 27-year-old also showcased her impeccable fashion sense at the event. She posted pictures of herself wearing stunning blue pants and bishop sleeves top combination by LAPOINTE, a luxury womenswear brand based in New York City. Ayan captioned the photos, “@wnba 2025 Draft Wearing @lapointe,” showing off her effortlessly chic look.
The stylish ensemble even caught the attention of her long-time boyfriend, Frances Tiafoe, who was quick to express his admiration. In a sweet gesture, the World No. 18 reposted Broomfield’s picture with three blue heart emojis, showing just how proud he was of her elegance.
The ever-so-supportive Tiafoe has consistently praised Ayan’s achievements both on and off the court. Their relationship is built on mutual admiration and respect, with Frances constantly sharing his admiration for Ayan’s grace and talent. And,
“Hectic on the inside and hectic on the outside” —Ayan Broomfield on supporting her beau, Frances Tiafoe
Frances Tiafoe is never shy about expressing his admiration for Ayan Broomfield, often lighting up her social media posts with heartfelt reactions. Whether it’s her editorial shoot with Wilson Sportswear to her striking appearance in Off-White’s Spring 2025 campaign, Big Foe is always in her corner, celebrating her milestones with unwavering pride.
Their bond is special, and Ayan’s tennis roots give her a unique edge in understanding the pressure, rhythm, and mindset of a professional athlete, especially someone as dynamic as Frances. In an episode of Tennis Channel’s Second Serve, Broomfield said, “I think having a tennis background helps a lot because we can understand each other; I understand what he’s going through, and we can actually talk about tennis and break down the game. I would say I’m hectic on the inside and hectic on the outside.”
Broomfield’s presence has become more than just emotional support for Tiafoe. Back in 2023, the ATP ace openly acknowledged the role his girlfriend plays in his life and career. “Man, to think how far we’ve come. 2015 – meeting you for the first time and also just starting my career. You’ve rocked with me through it all. The good, the bad, and the standstills. It’s been a ride no one can put into words. I’m so damn lucky to have you in my life. Not only as my girl but my best friend and my go-to. You mean more to me than you can ever imagine. I love you with all I got. See you soon bb,” Tiafoe wrote on social media, showing just how much Ayan means to him.
On the court, Tiafoe faced a tough first-round loss at this year’s Barcelona Open, falling 2-6, 7-5, 6-1 to Jaume Munar. But the clay court season is far from over, and the American ace would look to bounce back soon. And there’s no reason he can’t. He has a strong support system in Ayan backing him all the way!
