Don't delete Hinge just yet. American tennis star Taylor Fritz reportedly met his girlfriend Morgan Riddle on a dating app in 2020—and five years later, she's practically the people's princess of the tennis world, capturing the hearts of viewers as Fritz collects Olympic medals and titles on the court.
Throughout their relationship, the pair has made a concerted effort to make tennis 'cool again" in the States—and they've definitely contributed to the sport's recent surge in popularity, alongside super stars like Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka, and, of course, the impact of Zendaya's 2024 film Challengers.
While Fritz inspires on the court, Riddle's impeccable style and unapologetic attitude has made her one of the most popular WAGs in sports with around a million followers across social media platforms. 'I think that he appreciates that we both have this collective goal of bringing it to a younger crowd,' she told People in July 2023. "He does his part of it and I do mine."
That same year, The New York Times called Riddle the 'most famous woman in Men's tennis,' but what do we really know about Morgan Riddle and Taylor Fritz's ride-or-die romance? Here's their complete relationship timeline, with most recent developments up top.
July 5, 2025: Riddle highlights how they both 'serve' at Wimbledon. Yes, we're talking about her Wimbledon white dress. 'One serve, two serve,' she captioned her snaps from the day.
July 4, 2025: Riddle reminds everyone that she's cool with the WAG title. "I've always embraced the WAG thing,' she tells Harpers Bazaar. 'I knew no matter what my feelings were on it, that's what I'd be called – so I never wanted to attach anything negative to it. Instead, I wanted to shift people's perspective on the word.'
As she previously told Glamour, 'I've always had a unique perspective on the term.… Like influencer is an objective word, but because it's such a female-dominated space and associated with women, it's become negative. Same thing with WAGs. It means wives and girlfriends. I've never understood why that would be necessarily a negative thing.… But because it's associated with femininity and women, all of a sudden it's a negative thing? I've always embraced it.'

The Modern WAG Is Changing the Face of American Sports
In 2024, some of the most influential figures in American sports aren't the players. They're the women by their sides. Welcome to WAG Week, during which *Glamour* explores the phenomenon of wives and girlfriends of athletes changing the face of American sports as we know it.
March 12, 2025: Riddle says online discourse doesn't impact her relationship with Fritz. "People write crazy things about us and our relationship," she says on The Squeeze podcast. "[But] we really love each other. We have a very healthy relationship [and] nothing that anyone says online is gonna have any sort of effect on that."
August 28, 2023: 'It's great to have somebody that can support you and support your goals," Fritz tells . "I feel like we're very much a team, and it's been great to have.'
August 4, 2023: Riddle says Fritz is too 'shy' to participate in her content too much, but that he 'appreciates' what she does for the sport. 'I think that he appreciates that we both have this collective goal of bringing it to a younger crowd. He does his part of it and I do mine,' she tells People. 'I remember when him and I first met, within the first week or two, one of the things that he told me is, 'I just want tennis to be cooler in our generation.' It's just not.'
June 2023: Riddle and Fritz aren't really able to celebrate their third anniversary. "That's one negative side is we can't really celebrate things like that or holidays or anything," Riddle later tells People of their life on the road. 'Usually we're on airplanes for Christmas. I think he had a match that day. We might have done dinner.'
The good thing? 'We travel so well together,' Riddle says. "People always ask me, 'How do you guys spend that much time in a hotel room together without wanting to rip each other's heads off?' But we get along really well, which is why I think we've been able to make it work the last couple years.'
January 13, 2023: Netflix releases season one of the Tennis documentary series Break Point, which features Fritz and Riddle. The show captures Fritz' journey to his first win against Rafael Nadal at India Wells in March 2022. You can watch it here.
July 6, 2022: Though he loses against Nadal in the Wimbledon quarter finals, Fritz says the match had a huge impact on Riddle's career as an influencer. "The big thing I remember was when I was playing Rafa [Nadal] at Wimbledon one year and they kept showing her on the camera," he tells The US Sun in February 2024. 'I think within the next day her follower account doubled.'
'So I think it's them showing her while I'm playing and then she's since then built off that really well through social media and her YouTube channel,' he continued. "She also deserves a lot of credit for how she's leveraged the attention.'
March 15, 2022: Fritz sticks up for Riddle again during a post-win press conference at India Wells. 'I think what she did was awesome for our sport," he said of the controversial TikTok video. "It got a ton of people looking at it. I think you get your typical older fan who may be upset about it. I don't understand how anyone can get upset about it. I'm the one that's a professional tennis player, I'm the one that does this for a living and I one hundred percent agree with everything in that video.'
He pointed out that coverage of the sport are reserved for a few big tournaments, but not as highlighted as other sports. 'I thought what she did was awesome,' he continued. "Regardless of the reaction, i think everyone in the tennis community can agree it's good for tennis to kind of sell almost it in sell it in a different kind of way…That she knew her audience would react to."
February 14, 2022: Fritz calls Riddle 'my favorite tennis influencer' in a Valentine's Day Instagram tribute.
February 13, 2022: Time for a red carpet debut!
February 2, 2022: Riddle faces backlash for calling tennis 'relatively uncool and unknown in America' in a TikTok video about the sport. Fritz sticks up for Riddle in the comments, writing, 'For anyone disagreeing with the fact it's 'relatively uncool in USA' let me know how often tennis is talked abt on sportscenter or espn 🤷🏻‍♂️.'
June 6, 2021: Riddle celebrates their one year anniversary with a cheeky Instagram post, saying he's 'the best part of my day every day' but asking him to 'plz start doing your own laundry though.'
November 13, 2020: Riddle makes her first appearance on Fritz's Instagram feed. He captions the post, 'Happy 🤗.'
June 2020: The pair start dating after meeting on Raya, which Riddle describes as 'mortifying' in a TikTok video in 2023. In the video, she suggests using the app while attending matches if they're interested in meeting single players because the app is 'location based."
'I don't know if I would recommend [Raya], but I do know that every tennis player who is single is on there,' she says.
Of course, that's something she picked up on after she started dating Frtiz. "Because it was during Covid, no restaurants were open, no bars were open so we ordered sushi," Riddle tells People. 'We went to his place and I made him watch Midsommar with me, the really messed up horror movie. Why I chose that as my first introduction to a guy, I don't really know. I think I traumatized him a little bit.'
