Taylor Fritz's girlfriend Morgan Riddle has hit out at social media trolls who suggested she was pregnant in a recent post. Riddle, 28, is never far away from Fritz, who is competing at the Australian Open this year.

However, she is also a constant presence on social media, where she has been able to make money as an internet personality and influencer. Whether it's chronicling her life as Fritz's other half or uploading fashion posts and travel videos, she has a healthy online following. But as is the case for many people who make a living as an influencer, the American has to put up with her fair share of abuse. In a recent post, a cruel person online body-shamed her by suggesting she looked pregnant when she isn't.

She uploaded a picture of herself on social media wearing a shoulderless blue top with blue trousers. Beneath the picture, she uploaded a screengrab of a comment that said: "It's a boy," in which she responded by writing: "This is why every influencer is on ozempic or has an ED (eating disorder)."

Riddle then uploaded another selfie of herself with the caption "God forbid a girl has organs." In a third post, she could be seen standing by a swimming pool with a view of a harbour, with another screengrab of a troll commenting: "I thought pregnant."

However, if anybody is going to have the last laugh, it will be Riddle herself. According to the Daily Mail, she is set to pocket around £370,873 ($500,000) from sponsored posts, event appearances and curated collections.

In fact, there is a strong possibility she will earn more than Fritz in Melbourne. The World No. 4 will need to at least reach the quarter-finals if he is to earn more money on the court in Australia than his partner has away from it.

The prize money for reaching the last eight is $750,000 (AUD) (£374,486). However, he is not self-conscious or worried about it as he has previously expressed his support for how Riddle makes a living.

In an interview with GQ magazine, when asked about how Riddle makes her money, he replied: "I'd much rather have Morgan travel with me and do what she's doing: one, push the sport of tennis, and two, make money doing it."

Fritz is facing Frenchman Valentin Royer in his first match of the first Grand Slam of 2026.
