Taylor Fritz’s Ex-Girlfriend Morgan Riddle Swears Off Dating Athletes As She Makes Feelings Clear on Their Split

Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle were one of the most high-profile couples in the tennis world, due in large part to Riddle’s efforts to promote the sport through her work as a social media influencer. The couple first met on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2020 and remained together for nearly six years before ending their relationship in April 2026.

Morgan Riddle Says She and Taylor Fritz Are on ‘Good Terms’

Fritz missed the majority of the clay-court season after taking a short hiatus to treat his knee tendinitis. Amid his two-month absence from the tour, rumors emerged that he had parted ways with his longtime girlfriend, but Riddle swiftly shut down the claims that she had been “dumped.”

A few weeks later, however, Riddle confirmed the split in a unique way, sharing a picture of herself posing in a T-shirt with the phrase “World’s Best Ex-Girlfriend.” Fritz even liked the post, giving the impression their breakup was amicable. The social media influencer also relocated to New York after spending the past five years in Los Angeles with the world No. 9.

Speaking to Elle, Riddle revealed that she and Fritz remain on friendly terms, which is why she chose to announce their separation in a lighthearted manner rather than issuing a conventional statement.

“We’re on good terms, so I wanted to make it more lighthearted than breakups usually are online,” Riddle said.

The 28-year-old also disclosed that she has created an extensive list of non-negotiables for her next relationship, saying, “I made, like, a 33-point non-negotiables list for [my next relationship]. It has basic things like political alignment, shared life goals, intellectual intimacy, no sports betting or gambling, only makes my life happier.”

Riddle said her top priority is finding a partner who demonstrates the same kind of love she has experienced from her best friend, Colton Arman.

“When I look toward my next relationship, I will prioritize being loved in the way that [Colton] loves me. I think that’s the most important lesson out of all of this. I would not have been able to make the decision I made or do what I’ve done the last two months without him,” she added.

Despite the amicable nature of her split with Fritz, Riddle also emphasized that she refuses to date another athlete in the future.

“I’ll never date an athlete again,” she said.
