Who is Morgan Riddle?

Morgan is more than Taylor’s girlfriend. She is a social media influencer and blogger with close to 400,000 followers on TikTok and over 150,000 followers on Instagram. Morgan regularly posts content from her adventures with Taylor online, as the athlete often travels for tournaments. But outside of being a supportive and loving girlfriend, Morgan is on a quest to carve out a path of her own.

How did Taylor and Morgan meet?

According to People, Taylor and Morgan met in June 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"We went to his place and I made him watch Midsommar with me, the really messed up horror movie. Why I chose that as my first introduction to a guy, I don't really know," Morgan said. "I think I traumatized him a little bit." Fortunately for Morgan, Taylor wasn't phased by her unconventional movie choice and the pair have been together ever since.

In July, Morgan partnered with Wimbledon for a digital series called Wimbledon Threads — which saw the influencer give her opinions on looks from the tennis tournament. She opened up about the partnership in an interview with People, calling the experience a “big win.” “To be recognized by a tournament of that prestige is just a big win for me and people taking me a little bit more seriously in the tennis world.”
