Taylor Fritz’s Dating History: Raquel Pedraza, Morgan Riddle and Olivia Jade

America’s top male tennis player has had a love life almost as busy as his match schedule. Taylor Fritz was engaged at 18, married that summer and a father at 19 with Raquel Pedraza. He then spent nearly six years with influencer Morgan Riddle, the most visible partner in men’s tennis, before they split in April 2026. Since then he has been linked with Olivia Jade Giannulli. Here is the full story, in order.
Who Is Taylor Fritz?
Taylor Fritz is an American tennis player from Rancho Santa Fe, California, born on October 28, 1997. He reached the 2024 US Open final and climbed to a career-high ranking of No. 4 in the world in November 2024. His full life story, career and earnings are in our Taylor Fritz biography and net worth page.
Raquel Pedraza (2016 to 2019)
Fritz’s first serious relationship was with Raquel Pedraza, an American junior tennis player from Claremont, California. The two were high school sweethearts who met through tennis in Southern California. She was a Wilson-sponsored junior who played qualifying at the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open junior events in 2014.
Fritz proposed in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris during the 2016 French Open, where Raquel was playing the junior event. He shared the photo on May 31, 2016, with the words “She said yes” and “sometimes when you know, you just know,” Tennis.com reported. Both were 18 at the time.
They married on July 7, 2016, in Rancho Santa Fe, according to Showbiz Cheat Sheet. Their son was born in January 2017, when Fritz was 19 and only starting his climb up the ATP rankings. Raquel stepped away from competitive tennis to raise him, and her WTA profile now lists her as inactive.
Fritz gave his wife the credit for keeping his career on track. “My life really hasn’t changed too much because of how my wife has really stepped up,” he said at a press conference in March 2017. “She’s really just doing everything she can for me and for my tennis.” At Indian Wells that month he told Tennis.com, “She handles all of the off-court stuff so I can be on court more than I was before.”
The marriage ended in December 2019, after about three and a half years, according to Interview magazine as cited by People. Raquel has stayed out of the public eye since then. You can read her full story in our Raquel Pedraza biography.
Fatherhood and Co-Parenting
Fritz and Raquel share custody of their son, who lives mainly with her, Pro Football Network reported in August 2025. Fritz has said more than once that the tour keeps him away from his boy far more than he’d like.
“I have a son that I don’t get to see near as much as I’d like,” he said on Netflix’s Break Point. Asked about life on tour as a dad during the show’s 2023 reunion special for the WTA, he said, “It’s tough. You travel so much, and [he’s] not in a situation where he can be traveling with me, even though that’s something that I would love to happen.”
He has also spoken about how early fatherhood shaped him. “I learned one, not to care, and two, just to handle my business and be as productive as possible,” he told Haute Living in August 2023. “I definitely had to grow up fast, but it was always going to be like that anyway.” In February 2025, he told Palm Springs Life that he plans his weeks so he can “FaceTime, call, just talk to him as much as possible.”
Morgan Riddle (2020 to 2026)
Fritz met Morgan Riddle on the members-only dating app Raya in 2020, and they started dating in June that year. Riddle, a Minneapolis native and Wagner College graduate, had just moved to Los Angeles during the Covid lockdowns. “He had a photo of him playing tennis and I was like, oh, cute,” she later told Vogue.
Their first night together was a lockdown date. “Because it was during Covid, no restaurants were open, no bars were open so we ordered sushi,” Riddle told People. “We went to his place and I made him watch Midsommar with me, the really messed up horror movie. Why I chose that as my first introduction to a guy, I don’t really know.” Things moved fast after that. Riddle told Vogue in 2025 that they moved in together after about three and a half weeks.
Riddle then built a big following of her own as a tennis and fashion creator. The New York Times called her the “most famous woman in men’s tennis” in 2023, and Vogue named her the “First Lady of American Tennis” in 2025. Our Morgan Riddle biography has more on her own career.
Break Point and Life on Tour
The couple reached a much wider audience in 2023, when they appeared on Netflix’s tennis series Break Point. Fritz’s episode, “California Dreaming,” showed Riddle travelling with him on tour.
Speaking at the WTA’s Break Point reunion in August 2023, Riddle described their life as a joint project. “The last couple years, we’ve just developed such a good partnership,” she said. “With my social stuff and his tennis, we’re just having this collective goal.”
Fritz said the same thing to People that month. “It’s great to have somebody that can support you and support your goals,” he said. “I feel like we’re very much a team, and it’s been great to have.”
Riddle sat in his box through his best run. During the 2024 US Open, Fritz publicly called out ESPN on August 30 for not following her on Instagram, and the network followed them both days later. He went on to reach the final that September.
After beating Karen Khachanov in the Wimbledon quarterfinals on July 8, 2025, Fritz gave her credit again. “There’s been a pretty constant results-and-ranking rise since we’ve been together,” he told the Associated Press. “She’s been a big help to me just kind of keeping me focused, having someone who cares and just pushes you to just do better and do the right things, be healthier.”
The April 2026 Breakup
Rumors of a split first spread in early April 2026, when a small tennis podcast account claimed Fritz had “dumped” Riddle. She laughed it off on Monday, April 6, commenting on the post and tagging Fritz to ask whether he knew about it, Us Weekly reported. At the time, Fritz was out injured with a knee problem and had pulled out of Monte Carlo, Munich and Madrid.
On April 25, 2026, People reported that the couple had broken up after nearly six years. A source told People that Riddle ended it, while Us Weekly’s source said they had “quietly split over a month ago.” The same day, Riddle posted an Instagram photo of herself in a white T-shirt reading “World’s Best Ex Girlfriend,” and Fritz liked the post, The Big Lead reported.
Riddle explained the shirt to Elle in June 2026. “We’re on good terms, so I wanted to make it more lighthearted than breakups usually are online,” she said. She also made a promise: “I’ll never date an athlete again.” Riddle moved from Los Angeles to New York after the split, and Page Six sources said her wish to live and work in New York full time was a big part of the breakup.
She went into more detail on the Hot Smart Rich podcast as Fritz prepared for Wimbledon. Riddle said she had ended the relationship because she no longer felt like herself, and that the feeling had lasted “for the last probably year and a half,” Pro Football Network reported.
Olivia Jade Giannulli (2026)
Fritz’s name was linked to YouTuber Olivia Jade Giannulli within weeks of the split. Giannulli is the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and designer Mossimo Giannulli, and she dated actor Jacob Elordi on and off until 2025.
The gossip account DeuxMoi first reported the two together at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood in May 2026. On May 7, sources told TMZ there was “nothing beyond friendship” between them and that Fritz was not looking for a new relationship so soon.
The story picked up again over the summer. Fritz reportedly brought Giannulli as his guest to fellow American Tommy Paul’s wedding to Paige Lorenze in New York in July 2026, where Fritz was part of the wedding party. In late August, days before the US Open, eyewitnesses told TMZ that Fritz picked her up from her place in New York and the pair were photographed arriving at his hotel.
A Page Six source said the two were “hanging out and enjoying their time together” but were “not exclusive.” Us Weekly reported they had been “seeing each other for the last three months.” Neither Fritz nor Giannulli has spoken about the relationship in public. Page Six also reported that Riddle found the new romance hard to watch, with a source saying she felt he “moved on very quickly.”
