Broomfield made her debut on the WTA Tour at the Coupe Banque Nationale in 2014 along with her partner, Maria Patrascu. She entered the tournament as a wildcard player in the doubles category. Soon after this, she hit a world doubles rank of 467, which is the highest she has got in the WTA rankings so far in her career.

As of now, Broomfield is not a renowned figure on Instagram and has just 14.4k followers as compared to Tiafoe’s 208k. It is because of this reason that fans don’t really know about her that much. Interestingly, the Canadian player has written ‘All American’ in the bio of her Instagram handle.

After meeting Broomfield’s family, Tiafoe started dating the Canadian player. However, the two kept it a secret before finally revealing their relationship status in 2018. Since then, the two have been dating each other and one often watches Broomfield during Tiafoe’s matches in order to extend her support to her boyfriend.

“It’s good that you can relate. You don’t feel like she’s so foreign to what you’re doing. She fits right in,” said Tiafoe after Broomfield once came to support her at the Rogers Cup.

On Broomfield’s recent birthday, Tiafoe expressed his desire to marry her. After dating for so long, it won’t be a surprise for fans if the two tie the knot really soon.
