Just when you thought the Taylor Fritz-Morgan Riddle love story was all sunshine and Instagram reels, Mama Fritz has entered the chat — and things just got spicy.
Kathy May, former tennis star and mother of Taylor Fritz, has always kept things classy and low-key. But during a recent podcast appearance, she finally spoke about her son’s very public relationship with social media darling Morgan Riddle… and let’s just say, the tennis world wasn’t ready.
“She’s… interesting,” Kathy said with a knowing pause, sending shockwaves through the tennis community. “I support whoever makes Taylor happy, but I do think some things should be more private.”
Ouch. Cue the dramatic piano.
Fans immediately ran to social media to decode the comment. Was it shade? A warning? A subtle mom-approved roast wrapped in politeness?
“She said ‘interesting’ the way moms say ‘bless her heart’ when they don’t approve,” one Twitter user joked. Another wrote, “This is the tennis version of Real Housewives drama and I am living for it.”
Morgan Riddle, for her part, has yet to respond — but posted a fire selfie on Instagram with the caption: “Unbothered. Glowing. Focused.” Coincidence? Absolutely not.
Insiders say things have been tense for a while. Kathy’s more traditional, Morgan’s all about lifestyle content and viral outfits. “They’re very different worlds,” one source close to the family spilled. “Let’s just say Thanksgiving won’t be hosted at the Riddle-Fritz house anytime soon.”
As for Taylor? He’s stuck in the middle, juggling forehands and family dynamics with the grace of a man trying not to get unfollowed or grounded.
One thing’s for sure — when your mom goes on a podcast and uses phrases like “some things should be private,” you know she’s saying a lot without saying much at all.
Stay tuned. The next serve might come off the court.
