Taylor Fritz is trying to stay focused on tennis during a difficult time in his personal life. The American tennis star recently shared new gym and practice photos on Instagram, showing off his strong physique just weeks after reports claimed he had split from longtime girlfriend Morgan Riddle. The 28-year-old looked relaxed and happy in the pictures, many of which showed him working out shirtless and training on the court. Along with the post, Taylor Fritz simply wrote, “Just been working.” The post quickly grabbed attention online because it came not long after rumors about his breakup with Morgan Riddle started spreading in April. The couple had become one of the most talked-about pairs in tennis over the last few years. Morgan Riddle was often seen supporting Taylor Fritz during major tournaments and built a strong following online through her tennis-related content.
Fitness Concerns Ahead of French Open

Breakup Rumors Continue After Social Media Speculation

Weeks later, Morgan Riddle added more fuel to the rumors after posting a photo of herself wearing a “World’s Best Ex-Girlfriend” T-shirt. Friends and followers filled the comments section with supportive messages. One social media user even called the breakup a “historic fumble” by Taylor Fritz.
According to the Daily Mail, a source close to the pair confirmed the breakup earlier this year. The source said, “Morgan Riddle and her boyfriend broke up and she moved to New York City. It’s been at least a couple of months now that she’s been there. The split has been kept really quiet.” Another source also told the outlet, “They split a few months ago, [but there is] no resentment from Morgan because tennis made her career. Taylor is not the type of guy to run around. Her career started taking off and she didn’t want to be known as the tennis girl, even though that’s what made her career.”
