Morgan Riddle is vowing to “never date an athlete again” after her relationship with tennis star Taylor Fritz ended earlier this year.
The influencer told Elle during a recent interview that part of her checklist for her next boyfriend includes a non-negotiable that the man doesn’t compete on courts, fields or ice rinks for a living.
“I made, like, a 33-point non-negotiables list for [my next relationship],” she said. “It has basic things like political alignment, shared life goals, intellectual intimacy, no sports betting or gambling, only makes my life happier.”
Then, she added, “I’ll never date an athlete again.”
Riddle told Elle that she and Fritz officially split up around two months ago following six years of dating, and while she didn’t go into depth about why they broke up, she did note they were “on good terms.”
The two first met on the popular dating app Raya after Riddle moved to Los Angeles during the pandemic, and a short time later, she gained fame for her appearances at his tennis matches.
She ultimately used that new following to build a brand for herself, and she told Elle she hoped other wives and girlfriends learned from the way she handled things in her public relationship.
“Say, hypothetically, I fully supported him and his career and didn’t make my own money and didn’t develop my own brand, what would I be doing now?” she said. “Would I be back in Minnesota? If you don’t have that autonomy and you don’t make your own money and you want to leave [a relationship] … I just hope any WAG or woman can make that choice.”
Riddle has moved to New York in wake of the split with Fritz, and she said she’s been enjoying the new chapter in her life.
As for Fritz, he hasn’t made a public statement about the end of his romance with Riddle, though he did share some shirtless snaps on his Instagram last month that suggested he was moving on all right.
