The No. 1-ranked U.S. men's tennis player, Taylor Fritz, has earned over $15 million in prize money throughout his professional career, but he's had a busy life off the court too. The World No. 12 is still only 26 but has been married, divorced, and even had a child with his ex-wife before finding love with a tennis influencer.

Fritz continues to get better with age, and the U.S. star has become one of the most consistent players on the ATP Tour, although he hasn't yet reached a Grand Slam semi-final.

His only significant final win came back in 2022, although he did beat Rafael Nadal to win the Indian Wells Open. Fritz made his professional debut nine years ago and was named ATP Star of Tomorrow a year later as he became the youngest player to be ranked inside the top 100 aged 19.

Eight years later, Fritz is now a parent after welcoming his son Jordan to the world with childhood sweetheart Raquel Pedraza. However, after getting married their relationship didn't last, and now Fritz has been dating influencer Morgan Riddle for four years.

Riddle and Fritz have been together since June 2020, just seven months after his divorce from Pedraza was confirmed. Pedraza and Fritz met in high school and she was also a pro tennis player, although early motherhood got in the way.

They had their first and only child together in January 2017, and Fritz focused on tennis while Pedraza took care of the main parental responsibilities. "I think [having a kid] taught me a lot of lessons about time management, "Fritz told Haute Living.

"I have to juggle all these different things. It also taught me not to care so much about other people’s opinions. There was a lot of talk when I was younger. I was always very concerned about how my career would be affected."

Fritz has managed to be a father while climbing the ATP rankings, but his relationship with Pedraza didn't last. He soon met Riddle, one of the most popular tennis influencers, and according to Fritz their shared interests and goals explain why they're still going strong four years later.

"We have very common goals," Fritz told People Magazine. "It's great that we can kind of work together. Riddle has 290,000 followers on Instagram and regularly posts pictures of herself and Fritz, boosting his profile on social media.

Another surge of popularity for Fritz came from the Netflix docuseries "Break Point" which focused on the lives of tennis pros off the court. In the show, Fritz admitted that his failed marriage means he doesn't see his son too often, but he does feel extremely connected to Riddle.

    "I have a son that I don't get to see near as much as I'd like,” Fritz said on Netflix. "As it stands right now, I just have to try to see him as much as I possibly can."

    His son does inspire him to reach the heights of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer though, as he added: "He's not easily impressed. I guess I just need to keep improving so maybe at one point I can say, 'Hey Jordan, I'm actually the best in the world.'"

    His relationship with Jordan may be limited, but Fritz appears much happier since ending his marriage and moving onwards with Riddle. "It's been great. I feel like we're very much a team, and it's been great to have," Fritz said, reflecting on their relationship.
