Tennis star Tommy Paul and style influencer Paige Lorenze are officially engaged after nearly three years of dating — and the ring is definitely a head-turner. Paul, currently ranked No. 16 on the ATP Tour, popped the question this past Sunday, July 13, on the shores of Nantucket with a showstopping, 8-carat emerald-cut diamond ring.
The couple announced their engagement via a joint Instagram post that immediately caught the attention of fans and the jewelry industry alike. The carousel of photos included a romantic beachside embrace and a close-up of Lorenze’s new ring — a dazzling diamond on a simple platinum setting. The post, simply captioned “forever [heart emoji],” captured the understated elegance of the moment.
According to industry sources, Lorenze’s emerald-cut diamond boasts a top-tier D–F color and VVS clarity. The sleek cut — a favorite of Art Deco aficionados — reflects both vintage glamor and modern minimalism. The diamond is mounted in a platinum prong setting, a design choice that allows maximum light to pass through the stone’s step-cut facets, giving it that signature "hall-of-mirrors" effect. Experts estimate the ring’s value at approximately $600,000.
The proposal, though private, unfolded against a picturesque Nantucket backdrop. (Nantucket is an upscale destination off the coast of Massachusetts, near Cape Cod.) Lorenze, the founder of lifestyle brand Dairy Boy, and Paul celebrated their engagement with friends at CRU Oyster Bar, enjoying caviar cones, lobster rolls and a selection of fine wines.
Paul, 28, and Lorenze, 27, first met at the 2022 US Open and made their relationship public later that year. Since then, Lorenze has frequently been spotted courtside at Paul’s matches, supporting his rise through tennis’s elite ranks. The couple has openly shared their mutual admiration, from cheering each other on professionally to cooking meals with friends and enjoying downtime together.
Lorenze has more than one million followers on Instagram, so we're expecting that her new emerald-cut diamond ring is sure to inspire a new wave of interest in classic cuts with contemporary flair.
