Tommy Dorfman has officially filed for divorce from Elise Williams, concluding nearly two years of marriage. The couple, who met on the dating app Hinge in 2021, quickly got engaged just two months into their relationship. Dorfman later disclosed that they secretly eloped at the end of 2023.
The news of the split was revealed on May 16, when Dorfman, aged 33, submitted divorce papers in New York City, as confirmed by online records. The divorce follows a moment of introspection shared by Dorfman on her Instagram in late December 2024, which many interpreted as an indication of turmoil in their relationship.
In a 2024 essay for Vogue, Dorfman detailed her whirlwind romance with Williams, reflecting on their decision to wait a full year before living together despite their rapid engagement. The pair welcomed a Great Dane puppy into their lives after just six months of knowing each other. In her writing, Dorfman discussed the complexities of their love, acknowledging the mix of naïveté and fate that often accompanies romance.
The couple’s elopement was a significant moment for them; Dorfman shared that they had conducted their ceremony near the shoreline in Malibu, driven by a lighthearted conversation about spontaneous marriages that escalated into reality. They are said to have enjoyed a whimsical day, marrying before attending a concert, highlighting their close bond.
Dorfman’s recent social media posts have hinted at the emotional struggles she is facing in the wake of the breakup. She shared reflections on heartbreak, describing her dog Fiona as coping better in their new home, now lived in by just the two of them.
As they part ways, this chapter of Dorfman’s life may come with challenges, but it also brings an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery. Healing from a relationship can lead to renewed perspectives and hope for the future.
While this marks a significant change for both individuals, it also opens the door to new possibilities and experiences as they navigate their individual journeys ahead.
