The US Open is in full swing, and while all eyes are on the court, Morgan Riddle is stealing some headlines of her own. The social media influencer recently opened up about her personal life following her high-profile split from tennis star Taylor Fritz, and her latest comments are turning heads.
Riddle and Fritz, who dated for nearly six years, called it quits earlier this year, with speculation ramping up just before the French Open in May. Reports at the time suggested Riddle initiated the breakup, though other sources claimed it was mutual. Now, Riddle is setting the record straight about where she stands romantically.
Speaking to PEOPLE this week, Riddle admitted she's keeping her distance from the dating scene in New York, despite being one of the most visible influencers at the tournament. "I'm not involved in it," she said, making it clear she's focused on other things during her time in the Big Apple.
This comes on the heels of her candid interview with Elle in June, where she opened up about the breakup and her future. While she insisted she and Fritz are "on good terms," she also made a bold declaration: she'll never date a professional athlete again.
To back that up, Riddle revealed she's created a "33-point non-negotiables list" for her next relationship. The checklist includes "political alignment, shared life goals, intellectual intimacy, no sports betting or gambling," and a partner who "only makes my life happier." It's a detailed approach that shows she's learned a thing or two from her years in the spotlight.
Meanwhile, Fritz seems to have already moved on. Reports have surfaced of him spending time with Olivia Jade, daughter of actress Lori Loughlin. Sources told TMZ the pair have been "hanging out on a romantic level recently," though they're "taking things slow." They were spotted together in New York City over the weekend, with Fritz even picking her up at her place before heading to his hotel.
Fans are already wondering if Jade could be Fritz's good luck charm as he competes at the US Open. But for Riddle, the focus is clearly on herself. She's been making waves at the tournament, not just for her fashion but for her candid takes on life post-breakup.
It's a refreshingly honest stance from someone who's been in the public eye for years. And while some might expect her to jump back into the dating pool, Riddle is proving she's in no rush. Her priority is setting standards, not settling.
