Taylor Fritz heartens girlfriend Morgan Riddle with loving gesture amid her agonizing battle with illness; latter discloses her Thanksgiving sacrifice
Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend Morgan Riddle recently opened up about her struggle with illness after returning to Los Angeles from Las Vegas. She also brought to light the tennis player’s heartening gesture as she recovered.
Fritz’s girlfriend Riddle attended the F1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas over the weekend (November 21-23). She was roped in to host the amfAR gala and interviewed several celebrities. While the social media influencer had a thrilling trip, bonding with the likes of Paris Hilton, she was taken ill upon return.
Morgan Riddle chronicled her ordeal on social media, revealing that she had been “fighting for her life for the last 48 hours.”
"Have been fighting for my life for the last 48 hours. Truly wouldn't wish norovirus upon my worst enemy," she previously said.
Taylor Fritz, meanwhile, is in Miami, having kicked off his preseason training ahead of his first tournament of 2025—the United Cup. The World No. 4 was last in action at the Davis Cup Finals, where, despite his victory, Team USA was eliminated in the quarterfinals. Before that, he reached the title clash at the ATP Finals.
Although Fritz has been unable to be by his girlfriend’s side as she fights her illness, he cheered her up by sending a bouquet with a heartening message.
"Hope you feel better soon, baby," the 2024 US Open finalist’s message read.
Morgan Riddle also updated fans on her health, saying she's been experiencing bizarre fever dreams as a consequence of her illness. The 27-year-old added that she plans to sacrifice Thanksgiving festivities in hopes of a speedy recovery.
"Hour 72. Feels like I’m living in Groundhog Day, can’t stay awake for more than 45 minutes," Riddle wrote on Instagram. "Having WEIRD a** dreams. Will not be eating thanksgiving meals."

Morgan Riddle was seemingly on a liquid diet during the first couple of days after falling ill.
"First solid meal in days. Wish me luck," Riddle wrote, indicating that she broke her liquid fast with a banana and a sandwich.
She hilariously sported a sweatshirt with a fitting quote gifted to her by Taylor Fritz.
"My tummy hurts but I’m being really brave about it," it read.
Riddle teased Fritz on his “millennial-a**” humor but agreed that the outfit was perfect, considering the circumstances.
"Taylor got me this millennial-a** sweatshirt and he thought it was so funny (he doesn’t understand internet culture so we will give him grace) but today felt like a good time to wear it," she joked.
Morgan Riddle is expected to accompany Taylor Fritz Down Under to begin the 2025 season. The social media influencer, who adores Australia, has been counting down the days to their trip while she returns to health.
