On July 31, 2025, Morgan Riddle, the vibrant influencer and girlfriend of tennis star Taylor Fritz, celebrated her 28th birthday in a manner as unique as her courtside fashion—completely off-grid, in a remote wilderness retreat. Known for her glamorous presence at tournaments and her million-strong social media following, Riddle traded the spotlight for solitude, sharing a glimpse of her serene escape with the caption, “Speaking to no one,” on Instagram. The celebration, a stark contrast to her high-profile life on the ATP Tour, offered a rare peek into the personal side of a couple whose romance has captivated tennis fans since their 2020 meeting on Raya.
Riddle, dubbed “the most famous woman in men’s tennis” by The New York Times, is no stranger to the hustle of global travel, cheering Fritz from the stands at Wimbledon, the US Open, and beyond. Her birthday, however, was a deliberate pause from the chaos of their jet-setting lifestyle. “We travel so well together,” Riddle once told interviewers, describing how she and Fritz navigate their demanding schedules without “wanting to rip each other’s heads off.” This time, the couple retreated to a secluded cabin, surrounded by nature, with no Wi-Fi or cell service—an intentional unplugging that Riddle described as a chance to “speak to no one” but each other. The Instagram post, featuring a cozy snapshot of her and Fritz bundled up against a forested backdrop, hinted at a low-key day filled with quiet moments and shared laughter.
The off-grid celebration reflects Riddle’s knack for balancing her public persona with private authenticity. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on July 31, 1997, she grew up in a middle-class family, far from the glitz of professional sports. “I was one of those girls obsessed with Bali travel videos,” she once shared, recalling her childhood dreams of seeing the world. After graduating from Wagner College with a degree in English literature, Riddle hustled through internships and jobs in real estate and social media marketing before embracing her role as a full-time influencer in 2022. Her content, blending tenniscore fashion, travel vlogs, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of Fritz’s career, has earned her partnerships with brands like Dior and Chanel, and a hosting gig for Wimbledon’s “Wimbledon Threads” series.
Fritz, ranked No. 5 in the world, has credited Riddle with sharpening his focus. “There’s been a pretty constant results-and-ranking rise since we’ve been together,” he said during his 2025 Wimbledon campaign, where he reached the semifinals before falling to Carlos Alcaraz. “She’s been a big help to me, just keeping me focused, having someone who cares and pushes you to do better.” Their relationship, featured in Netflix’s *Break Point*, thrives on mutual support, with Riddle embracing her “tennis WAG” title. “I’ve always embraced the WAG thing,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in July 2025, aiming to redefine the term with her bold style and advocacy for the sport’s accessibility.
The birthday retreat wasn’t without its quirks. Riddle’s Instagram Stories hinted at a rustic setup—think wood-burning stove and no running water—prompting fans to flood her comments with admiration for her “unplugged” vibe. “This is so you, but also so not you!” one follower wrote, capturing the paradox of Riddle’s glamorous yet grounded persona. The couple’s history of playful bets, like Riddle’s infamous Vegemite challenge after Fritz’s 2025 Australian Open win over Stefanos Tsitsipas, suggests they likely infused the day with their signature humor. “That was disgusting. Nope, nope,” she had gagged on Instagram, cementing her relatability.
As Riddle and Fritz, both 28, look ahead, their bond remains a team effort. “I feel like we’re very much a team,” Fritz told reporters in 2023, a sentiment echoed in their shared goal to “make tennis cool again.” Riddle’s off-grid birthday, a moment of “speaking to no one” but each other, underscores their ability to find balance amid the whirlwind of fame. With Fritz gearing up for the US Open and Riddle poised to dazzle at New York Fashion Week, this quiet celebration was a reminder that even tennis’ most stylish couple cherishes the simple joys of togetherness.
