Tennis star Taylor Fritz and cult figure Morgan Riddle have separated after six years together. <\/p>\n

The adored American pair have turned heads in recent years with the fashion influencer attracting attention from TV cameras as much as the tennis player. <\/p>\n

People Magazine <\/a>first reported the news Riddle was the one who ended the relationship. <\/p>\n

She appears to have referenced the split in her latest Instagram post where she shared a photo of herself wearing a \u201cWorld\u2019s Best Ex Girlfriend\u201d T-shirt.<\/p>\n

It was part of a bizarre collage of photos that showed her out at dinner with friends while another photo was taken from inside a subway train carriage. <\/p>\n

\"Tennis<\/p>\n

One showed a pile of moving boxes with many of her fans left speculating she is moving out.<\/p>\n

The most eyebrow-raising image showed her wearing a white T-shirt that was branded with the message: \u201cWorld\u2019s best ex-girlfriend\u201d. <\/p>\n

The high-profile relationship started in June, 2020, and Riddle quickly became well-known as an influencer, posting about life as a WAG on the ATP Tour.<\/p>\n

Riddle has gone viral at tennis tournaments around the world for the simple act of watching her partner play. <\/p>\n

Tennis fans at the Australian Open are very familiar with the 28-year-old, who has been a feature of Channel 9 broadcasts every match Fritz has played at Melbourne Park. <\/p>\n

Her constant appearances on TV helped turn Riddle into one of the highest-profile off-court figures in the sport. <\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s US Open, Riddle posted pictures to her Instagram story from a suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium, showing her and fellow influencer Brittany Williams drinking Honey Deuces.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad to run it back to the Grey Goose suite for some honey deuces,\u201d Riddle wrote on Instagram at the time.<\/p>\n

That attracted some backlash from tennis fans, though Fritz quickly jumped to her defence, The New York Post <\/a>reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that he appreciates that we both have this collective goal of bringing it to a younger crowd,\u201d Riddle told People in 2023. <\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when him and I first met within the first week or two, one of the first things that he told me is I just want tennis to be cooler in our generation. It\u2019s just not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Certainly it\u2019s now in doubt whether Riddle will keep tennis at the centre of her influencing career.<\/p>\n

Neither she nor Fritz commented to People.<\/p>\n

Fritz is dealing with a knee injury and withdrew from this week\u2019s Madrid Open.<\/p>\n

Riddle in January made headlines when she revealed she earned more that Fritz during the Aussie Open. <\/p>\n

Fritz, 28, banked $475,000 by reaching the round of 16 at the first Grand Slam of the year \u2013 but that wasn\u2019t enough to top influencer partner Morgan Riddle\u2018s earnings.<\/p>\n

The American model, who has been on the cover of Vogue magazine, added over 7,000 followers to her Instagram account during the slam and raked in $500,000 according to Bild.<\/p>\n

That is marginally more than Fritz\u2019s $475,000 all in.<\/p>\n

She has benefited from major sponsorship deals and has some huge partners in the fashion and cosmetics world.<\/p>\n

Riddle also works for competitions including Wimbledon and has been involved with Formula One.<\/p>\n
