There were a number of factors that led to Morgan Riddle and Taylor Fritz’s split \u2014 but one of the main reasons was the 29-year-old wasn’t ready to be a stepmom.<\/p>\n

We’re told it wasn’t the right time for the social media influencer to take on a parenting role for Fritz’s 9-year-old son, and she didn’t want to live full-time in California.<\/p>\n

“She has so many opportunities and brand deals being an influencer and she wanted to be in New York full-time,” a source exclusively told Page Six.<\/p>\n

Riddle announced her split<\/a> from the tennis star, 28, back in April via TikTok after dating for six years. Fritz has yet to publicly comment on the breakup.<\/p>\n

Fritz, who splits his time between Florida and Southern California, shares son Jordan with his ex-wife, Raquel Pedraza.<\/p>\n

Just one month after Riddle announced the split, Fritz was reportedly seen<\/a> with model Olivia Jade Giannulli at a club in West Hollywood.<\/p>\n

In July, Fritz was spotted with Giannulli, 26, at his best friend and fellow tennis pro Tommy Paul’s wedding<\/a> to influencer Paige Lorenze.<\/p>\n

The two were also photographed together in New York City this past August, though they have yet to officially confirm their romance.<\/p>\n

Sources previously told Page Six the pair have “really hit it off” and are having “a lot of fun together,” but noted they are not exclusive.<\/p>\n

While Riddle has made it look like she’s fully moved on, the quick pivot to Giannulli hasn’t been easy for her to watch.<\/p>\n

“She acts like him dating Olivia doesn’t bother her, but it does,” our source said. “In her eyes, he moved on very quickly.”<\/p>\n

Despite the split, Riddle was seen at the US Open<\/a> on opening weekend in New York cheering on Naomi Osaka. But she was also there for work related obligations, according to sources.<\/p>\n

“Morgan had already secured a brand partnership contract prior to announcing her split from Taylor which is why she was seen at the US Open,” the source added. “She also has her company [The 400 Club] so it makes sense. But she loves the attention it’s getting. That’s just who she is.”<\/p>\n

Giannulli has not yet been spotted supporting Fritz at this year’s tennis tournament, however, Lorenze, 28, has offered nothing but love for Fritz’s new rumored love interest.<\/p>\n

“Hi delicious cupcake,” the tennis WAG posted on Giannulli’s social media page.<\/p>\n

Fritz will face Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo next in the US Open on Sept. 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There were a number of factors that led to Morgan Riddle and Taylor Fritz’s split \u2014 but one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[2819,272,25767,25766,22537,25652,1561,25650,4319,7562,221],"class_list":["post-67038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-taylor-fritz","tag-fritz","tag-getty-images","tag-getty-images-for-womens-cancer-research-fund","tag-getty-images-riddle","tag-giannulli","tag-morgan","tag-morgan-riddle","tag-page-six","tag-riddle","tag-taylor","tag-taylor-fritz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
