Morgan Riddle is the girlfriend of tennis star Taylor Fritz.
Fritz, 27, said that Riddle, a popular influencer, is a big reason why Fritz has had so much success on the tennis court lately. She’s his biggest supporter and good luck charm.
Here is everything you need to know about Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend, Morgan Riddle.
1. Morgan Grew Up in Minnesota
Riddle spent her childhood in Saint Paul, Minnesota, because her mom Heather Riddle worked at Minnesota Public Radio.
Her father, Rob Kimm, is a fishing writer and instructor.
Morgan is very close to her mother, who helped her get through her struggles with anxiety and depression in high school, which she opened up about on “The Squeeze” podcast with Taylor Lautner, the wife of famous actor Taylor Lautner.
Morgan was also a big musical theater kid in high school. She starred in her high school’s production of “The Music Man” at the beginning of her senior year.
2. Morgan went to Wagner College In New York City
From 2015-2019, Morgan Riddle attended Wagner College in Staten Island, NYC.
She studied English Literature and was very active in several extracurricular activities, according to her LinkedIn. She was the president of the student alumni association, a public relations chair for her sorority Alpha Delta Pi, and was the director of the campus and admissions blog “Hawktalk”, among other things.
Riddle also had a 3.7 GPA, a huge accomplishment for her after she struggled academically in high school.
3. Riddle Had a Corporate Career
After such an accomplished college career, Riddle seemed poised for a very successful corporate career.
Initially, she took after her mom, working in journalism and media from 2019-2021.
That included a stint at the celebrity news company HollyWire from June 2020-May 2021 as an on-air host. Truly following in her mom’s footsteps.
But after she started dating Fritz, she gained an extensive social media following, so she became self-employed so she could create content full time.
4. Riddle and Fritz Met on A Dating App
Right after Riddle moved to Los Angeles in 2020, and in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, she met Fritz on the dating app Raya.
She had no idea he was a professional tennis player at the time. She noticed a tennis photo on his dating profile, but had no clue about the professional tennis scene, so she figured he had played tennis in college.
The couple became Instagram official in November 2020.
5. Riddle Is Also a Fashion Icon

Riddle first gained fame for a “Get Ready With Me” TikTok video at the 2022 Australian Open.
While at Wimbledon, she has been releasing a “Wimbledon Threads” series on the official Wimbledon YouTube account.
“Tennis fashion encapsulates this certain preppy vibe. You think of pleated skirts, collars and that sort of thing. But then I like going to all the different tournaments. The way that I dress for Wimbledon is very different from the way I’ll dress for a tournament in Tokyo or Stockholm,” she told the Athletic.
Tenniscore fashion is having its moment, and Riddle is a big reason why.
And with two more wins, her husband Fritz would win the tournament. It’s shaping up to be an incredible weekend for the happy couple!
