Taylor Fritz’ girlfriend Morgan Riddle has revealed that she has been suffering from a serious stomach illness.

The influencer, 27, began to feel unwell after attending the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix between November 21 and 23.

After heading home to Los Angeles, Morgan found herself suffering from norovirus – a very contagious stomach illness.

Updating her followers, she worryingly revealed: “Have been fighting for my life for the last 48 hours. Truly wouldn’t wish norovirus upon my worst enemy.”

Morgan has not been alongside partner Taylor Fritz, with the American men’s No1 having been in Miami already practising ahead of the 2025 season.

Despite not being by his girlfriend’s side, Fritz has done his best to make her feel better.

The 27-year-old sent her a bouquet of flowers, alongside a message reading: “Hope you feel better soon baby.”

Fritz also sent her a sweatshirt reading: “My tummy hurts but I’m being really brave about it.”

Morgan posted a picture of herself wearing it, alongside the message: “Taylor got me this millennial-a** sweatshirt and he thought it was so funny (he doesn’t understand internet culture so we will give him grace).

“But today felt like a good time to wear it.”

In a further update, Morgan admitted that she would be skipping Thanksgiving festivities.

She wrote: “Hour 72. Feels like I’m living in Groundhog Day, can’t stay awake for more than 45 minutes.

“Having WEIRD a** dreams. Will not be eating thanksgiving meals.”

Fritz has enjoyed a strong end to the season that has catapulted him to a career high world No. 4 ranking.

He reached the ATP Finals final earlier this month – beating Daniil Medvedev, Alex de Minaur and Alexander Zverev before losing to Jannik Sinner.

The Californian then rocked up to Malaga to represent the US at the Davis Cup Finals.

He won his match against De Minaur, only for the US team to lose the quarter-final to Australia.
