Riddle grew up in Minnesota, moved to New York for school, and now travels across the globe with her tennis superstar boyfriend; she met him on the Raya dating app, which she recalls as ‘mortifying’

The couple has been dubbed tennis’ next Posh and Becks, while Riddle’s fans have taken to jokingly referring to the world No 12 tennis player – who once bested Rafael Nadal – as simply ‘Morgan’s boyfriend’

Whether she’s flying to a tournament in Monaco or spending a slow weekend in LA taking tennis lessons, Morgan Riddle is taking over the tennis world with her gorgeously curated vlogs and “day in the life” content on YouTube and TikTok.

Her boyfriend, American tennis player Taylor Fritz, is currently ranked 12th worldwide in men’s singles. He’s known for defeating the formidable Rafael Nadal at the 2022 Indian Wells to become the first American to win the event in two decades.

But Riddle is impressive in her own right, showing that she’s more than just another glamorous WAG. The New York Times proclaimed her to be “the most famous woman in men’s tennis” and she has been using her platform to offer an insider’s look at the sport.

After meeting Fritz, Riddle, 26, started travelling with the 25-year-old and creating content full time. Her Instagram Reels showcase her life touring with the tennis star, whether a “get ready with me” video taken before a lazy day in the sun in Acapulco, or an appearance at one of Fritz’s matches at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

Riddle gets hundreds of thousands of views on average, with a few of her viral videos racking up numbers in the millions. One video with over 74,000 likes, sponsored by Chipotle, shows the influencer assembling a new bicycle and taking it out for a test-drive, before re-energising with a Chipotle bowl – for both herself and Fritz.
