Morgan Riddle Opens Up About Taylor Fritz Breakup and Her Dating Dealbreakers

Morgan Riddle is getting candid about her breakup from professional tennis player Taylor Fritz.

The pair, both 28, ended their nearly six-year relationship, with the split becoming public in April. Now, Riddle is opening up about the timeline and her current state of mind following the separation.

Speaking with Elle, Riddle confirmed the breakup took place "just over two months ago." Rather than issuing a traditional statement, she chose an unconventional approach to announcing the news publicly. "When public relationships end, it's standard to do some sort of Instagram statement or video, and I tried to write that a few times and I was just like, 'This is not me,'" she explained. Instead, she ordered a shirt reading "world's best ex-girlfriend" from Amazon and posted the photo.

The influencer emphasized that her decision reflected the nature of her relationship with Fritz. "We're on good terms, so I wanted to make it more lighthearted than breakups usually are online," she said.

When asked about a DeuxMoi rumor suggesting she'd relocated to New York City to pursue someone in finance, Riddle found the speculation amusing. "I'm really glad they went with that because it's so funny," she noted. "I think I'm going to start playing off of that."

Looking ahead to future romance, Riddle has established clear parameters for what she wants. She's created a 33-point list of non-negotiables that includes political alignment, shared life goals, intellectual intimacy, and a strict no-sports-betting-or-gambling policy. "Only makes my life happier," she added as another essential criterion.

Riddle credited her best friend Colton Arman with helping her navigate the post-breakup period. "When I look toward my next relationship, I will prioritize being loved in the way that [he] 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."

Most significantly, Riddle drew a definitive line in the sand regarding her dating future: "I'll never date an athlete again."
