It’s not often that Taylor Fritz makes headlines without a racquet in hand, but this time, the buzz has nothing to do with aces or double faults. In a move that sent shockwaves through both tennis Twitter and influencer Instagram, Fritz recently scrubbed a large portion of his social media presence — and fans were quick to notice who was missing: longtime girlfriend and style icon Morgan Riddle.
The timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Just days after his French Open campaign came to a premature end, Fritz’s Instagram lost dozens of posts — including nearly every trace of Morgan. Gone were the cute couple selfies, the courtside support snaps, and even the stylish vacation throwbacks that kept fans swooning. As expected, the internet went into full-on detective mode.
Is it a breakup? A rebrand? Or just Fritz trying to focus on his game? One thing is certain: people are talking.
Morgan, who’s become a celebrity in her own right with fashion-forward tennis content and TikTok glam, hasn’t posted anything with Fritz in over a month. And for a couple that built much of their online persona around being #relationshipgoals, the radio silence is deafening.
Fritz, 26, has been open in the past about the challenges of balancing love and a demanding tennis career. But this sudden social shift has many wondering if things have taken a serious turn behind the scenes.
While neither Fritz nor Riddle has made a public statement, fans haven’t held back their opinions. “You don’t delete your whole girlfriend from Instagram unless it’s DONE,” one user commented. Another chimed in, “Where’s Morgan? We need answers, Taylor!”
Interestingly, Morgan was also notably absent from Fritz’s box during his last match in Paris — something eagle-eyed fans didn’t miss. Typically a regular courtside presence, her absence only fuels the rumors.
Some speculate that the two may be taking a break, while others believe this could be the end of one of tennis’s most high-profile relationships. Of course, it’s also possible that Fritz is simply resetting his online presence, something many athletes do during rough patches.
Whatever the truth is, Fritz has managed to spark a whirlwind of speculation — and that alone is proof that in today’s digital world, silence speaks volumes.
