Being an ATP fan and not knowing about the relationship between Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle is like trying to ignore the glittering fireworks on a clear night sky. While the couple is consistent in maintaining their position under the spotlight, the fans already know a lot about their shared love, be it on social media or in the arenas. But did you know that the American ATP star also has a kid?

Taking a deeper dive into the love life of Taylor Fritz, the tennis star shared moments of high-school love with Raquel Pedraza. Along with growing up together to becoming renowned tennis stars, Taylor and Pedraza also tied the knot in 2016, starting a new chapter in their life. While the ups and downs of life were strong enough to break their bond in 2019, one thing that they received as a blessing in 2017 was a son, whom they named Jordan.

Their journey as parents was marked not only by shaking challenges but also by valuable lessons, as Taylor once acknowledged, “I think [having a kid] taught me a lot of lessons about time management.” Despite the end of their marriage, both Taylor and Pedraza prioritize their roles as parents. They have opted for joint custody, ensuring that the 7-year-old receives love and care from both of his parents, even though they reside in separate households.
