Congratulations are in order for Paige Lorenze and American tennis player Tommy Paul, who have announced their engagement on Instagram. The couple made a shared post to Instagram featuring an image of them embracing, along with Lorenze’s stunning square-cut diamond engagement ring, with the caption “forever ?”.
The couple posed on a beach with Lorenze sending a distinctly bridal vibe, wearing a floor-length lacy white dress, and Paul rocking loose jeans and a white t-shirt. Their comments section is already full of high-profile well-wishers, including models Eugenia De Martinol and Kate Ridion.
Here’s everything you need to know about the happy couple, including the details of Lorenze’s stunning blinding engagement ring.
How Long Have Paige Lorenze And Tommy Paul Been Dating?
Paige Lorenze and Tommy Paul took their romance public in October 2022 when Paul posted a photo of them together on Instagram with the caption “Photos by P.” Since then, Lorenze has frequently been seen by his side, including at the Australian Open. Lorenze attended the 2023 Australian Open with Paul when the tennis player became the first American to make the semi-finals since 2009. He shouted out his then-girlfriend in a post-match interview, telling the crowd, “It’s my girlfriend Paige’s birthday tomorrow. So if you guys see her, make sure you wish her a happy birthday.”
Paige, for her part, has gushed about life with Tommy. “He’s so supportive of me,” Lorenze said in a 2024 conversation with Interview titled “Paige Lorenze’s Guide to Being a Tennis WAG. “He wants me to be doing what makes me happy,” she told the publication. “And as much as he wants me at every tournament, he totally understands. We just have such good communication.”
Tommy has even been complimentary of Paige’s serve. In an April interview with People, he said: “She plays pretty well, she has the strokes down. She knows what she’s doing on the court.” She might be picking up tennis tips but Lorenze is also schooling Paul. “She’s been on me about, I guess it’s self-care, but just putting on more sunscreen and doing moisturiser at night.” We love a groom-to-be with a skincare regimen.

In September 2024, Lorenze indicated the pair were still going strong, celebrating their two-year anniversary with a black and white post to Instagram that she captioned: “To the best two years of my life. You bring out the softest, most fun side of me. You make me optimistic, inspire me, and encourage me in everything I do. You are my rock, my best friend, my Tommy. I love you so much. Happy Anniversary ♥️”
Paige Lorenze’s Engagement Ring
Here at ELLE Australia, we love an engagement ring, and Lorenze granted us an up-close shot of her rock. While we don’t have confirmation, it looks like Lorenze’s engagement ring from Tommy Paul is a break from the oval engagement ring trend we’ve seen lately: an emerald cut solitaire on a fine white gold or platinum band. Lorenze clearly came prepared for the moment, showing off a glossy nude manicure along with the blinding diamond on her Instagram stories.
Trade publication Brides reported that Paige Lorenze’s engagement ring boasts an estimated eight-carat emerald cut diamond with D-F colour and VVS clarity. This exceptionally high grade puts the ring at an estimated $600,000 value.
Who Are Paige Lorenze And Tommy Paul?
Lorenze, 27, is considered one of the most glamorous TWAGS on the tennis circuit. A budding entrepreneur, the Parsons-trained designer launched her lifestyle brand Dairy Boy in 2021. The range includes everything from candles to denim and jackets. She built her career in social media and has 995k followers on Instagram, 708.8k on TikTok and 296k on YouTube. She has shared that she hopes to step away from influencing and focus on her business. “My dream is to be the creative director and CEO of [Dairy Boy] and as I get older, kind of lean away from the influencer world. I’m proud of what I’ve been able to create, and it’s been a fun journey,” she told the US Sun.
Tommy Paul is 28 years old and hails from New Jersey. He’s a quite achiever in American Tennis, best known for winning the Grand Slam at the Australian Open in 2023, making him the first American player since Andy Roddick to do so. Currently world No.13, he made the quarter-finals at Roland Garros this year, and in June was at a career ranking high of No.8. He has a sizeable Aussie fan base calling the AO his favourite “slam.”
