We’d be lying if we said we hadn’t dreamed of being swept off our feet by a pro tennis player. Well for influencer Paige Lorenze, that’s exactly what happened. The 26-year-old Conneticut local has been dating up-and-coming tennis star Tommy Paul since 2022, and the pair have one of the cutest relationships on the pro tennis circuit.

Having grown up between onneticut and Vermont, Paige Lorenze made the move to New York to pursue fashion at Parson’s School of Design. Soon after graduating in 2021, she’ founded her own fashion and lifestyle brand, Dairy Boy, which now counts nearly 100,000 fans on Instagram,
“I want to build a brand that is a reflection of my style and aesthetic,” she told Elite Daily of the business in April 2023. “I’m making the work jackets I love, the denim I love, the candles I love. Eventually, I’m extending into homeware, too.”
In addition to Dairy Boy, Lorenze has also found success as an influencer. However, in the future, she plans to focus more energy on her growing business and eventually step away from social media.
“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.
While the exact timeline of Lorenze and Paul’s relationship is unclear, they went public with their romance in October 2022, when Paul posted a sweet series of photos to Instagram with the caption, “Photos by P.”
Since then, she’s become a regular fashionable fixture at Paul’s tennis games, often accompanying him across the globe for various grand slams and championships. At the 2023 Australian Open, when Paul became the first American player to make the semi finals since 2009, he used the opportunity to give Lorenze a sweet shout-out. In a post-match interview, he told the crowd, “It’s my girlfriend Paige’s birthday tomorrow. So, if you guys see her, make sure you wish her a happy birthday.”
And at the cinch Championships in June 2024, where Paul took home his third ATP Tour title, the couple looked happier than ever, as they posed for photos together holding the impressive trophy.
AS it turns out, this isn’t Lorenze’s first high-profile relationship. In fact, before dating Paul, she’s been linked to singer Morgan Wallen, US Bachelorette contestant Tyler Cameron, and actor Armie Hammer.
In 2021, she opened up to Vanity Fair about dating Hammer, saying she eventually ended the relationship because she “felt unsafe.”
“He started making rules for me of things I could and couldn’t do, who I could have over, who I couldn’t. And then I just started to feel really unsafe and really sick to my stomach about things,” she said.
In response, a representative for Hammer told the publication, “All interactions between Mr. Hammer and his former partners were consensual. They were fully discussed, agreed upon in advance with his partners, and mutually participatory. The stories perpetuated on social media were designed to be salacious in an effort to harm Mr. Hammer, but that does not make them true.”
