Taylor Fritz's influencer girlfriend responds to claims she's using tennis star

's influencer girlfriend has shamelessly admitted to capitalising on his success to increase her own popularity. The one-time finalist has been dating Morgan Riddle for around five years. She is regularly spotted in his box during matches and often films content for her online platforms as they travel around the world for events.

Riddle has gained a significant fanbase on social media since she started dating Fritz in 2020. She has nearly half a million followers on Instagram and even more on TikTok. Her profile on YouTube is less popular but the 27-year-old still caters to a huge audience of more than 107,000 subscribers.

Over the years, Riddle has often been accused of using Fritz's fame to boost her own career. She addressed those claims during a recent appearance on the podcast, where she raised eyebrows by brazenly admitting to the act.

"People say that I am capitalising off of his career," said Riddle. "And I'm like, 'Yep, you know what? I am'. And he's okay with that. And I'm okay with that because, you know, it's a partnership."

Riddle made a similar claim just two months ago while discussing the criticism she gets for making content around Fritz's career. She fired back at online trolls and 'older wives' who tend to look down at what she does for a living.

"I think [the backlash happened] because it's different," she told in March. "People expected me to sit in the box, be relatively private and not capitalise on my partner's career, and I kind of came in guns blazing.

"I was like: 'Well, f*** that', and posted whatever I wanted to. Taylor has always been really good about [blocking out the noise]. When it first started happening, I would be like: 'Oh my gosh, look at what this person said'.

"He'd be like: 'Why are you reading that?'. He went pro when he was 17 so he has dealt with that for so much, much longer than I had, so he was very helpful in coaching me through that.

"People write crazy things about us and our relationship. We really love each other. We have a very healthy relationship [and] nothing that anyone says online is going to have any sort of effect on that."

The couple are currently in Rome with Fritz playing at the Italian Open, which got underway earlier this week. He will face Marcos Giron in his opening match at the tournament on Saturday morning.
