Morgan Riddle and Taylor Fritz’s courtside partnership has reportedly come to an end.
Multiple outlets reported on April 25 that the influencer and the tennis pro had split after six years together. The reports followed a round of online speculation earlier in the month, when Riddle appeared to brush off claims that Fritz had ended the relationship.
On April 6, Riddle commented on an Instagram post alleging that Fritz had “dumped” her, tagging him and writing, “@taylor_fritz damn did you know about this??”
E! News said it had contacted a representative for Fritz, who had not publicly addressed the rumors at the time.
From Raya to the tennis tour
Riddle and Fritz, both 28, began dating in 2020 after meeting on Raya, the private dating app known for its celebrity-heavy user base.
“It was during COVID,” Riddle told E! News in 2024. “I had just moved to LA a few weeks before, so I didn't really know anybody and I was kind of just hoping to grow my network and meet friends.”
The relationship moved quickly. Fritz, who shares a son with ex-wife Raquel Pedraza, was already established on the professional tennis circuit, and Riddle soon found herself pulled into the rhythm of the tour.
“I met him and I started traveling with him on the tour a few months later,” she said.
At the start, tennis was not exactly her native language. Riddle said she “came from a hockey family” and did not grow up immersed in the sport.
“When I was growing up, I was not a sports kid at all,” she told E!. “I was like a speech and debate, theater kid.”
That changed as the relationship became part of her daily life. Fritz, ranked No. 9 in the world at the time referenced in the report, gave her a front-row seat to the sport’s travel schedule, pressure, and personalities.
“Now I would consider myself an expert on tennis,” Riddle said. “I know every single player, I know their strengths and weaknesses, I can tell you anything about the sport, really.”
Riddle’s role in tennis culture
Riddle also became one of the more visible non-player figures around the sport, using social media and YouTube to translate tennis culture for audiences who might not follow rankings, draws, or the tour calendar.
She told E! that she made a point of creating content for “the younger female demographic, because they're such an important part of the fanbase.”
“They're the ones who make the memes, they're the ones who start the podcasts, they're the ones who do outfit inspo on TikTok,” she said. “Anything sort of works towards growing the sport and growing the fanbase.”
That framing mattered. Tennis has spent years trying to widen its audience beyond traditional broadcast viewers, and Riddle became part of a newer lane around the game: fashion, access, player-adjacent storytelling, and explainers built for social platforms. Not every sport gets a soft-power ambassador who can discuss match-day outfits and player form without making either sound trivial.
The breakup reports close a public chapter that began during the pandemic and ran alongside Fritz’s rise on the ATP Tour. The original E! News story was published April 7, 2026, and updated April 27, 2026, after the reported split.
