The tennis pro and his girlfriend are pretty close in age as Riddle is a little bit older. She was born in Minnesota on July 31, 1997. Fritz was born in California on Oct. 28, 1997; making Riddle just two months and 28 days older than him.

The couple first connected and started talking on the dating app Raya in May 2020. Riddle swiped right because “My song was ‘Sunflower’ by Harry Styles and his was ‘Sunflower’ by Post Malone and Swae Lee.” However, she told The New York Post that she wasn’t sure she wanted anything serious because it was such a “weird time in the world” as it was during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

“The pandemic had just started. I was just like, ‘I don’t really want to jump into anything,’ but he was pretty persistent,” she remembered.

Riddle also admitted that she didn’t know he was a professional athlete because she didn’t watch tennis.

“I had seen a photo on his profile of him playing tennis, but I just assumed that it was a college team,” she said.

Lots of athletes and their WAGs have superstitions about things they do or wear and how that could affect performance. For Riddle, that came in the form of a pair of socks.

She explained: “At the beginning of the week, I had no clean socks so I just put his on before his first match and then he won.”

She recalled that they were white size large Nike socks and she wore them during the Indian Wells Masters in California in March 2022 as well.

“I got a little superstitious about it, and then he ended up winning the tournament,” she said.

When asked if there’s anything her beau is superstitious about, Riddle revealed: “Taylor doesn’t really have any superstitions except taking a cold shower before his match.”
