Morgan Riddle reveals his dark side as he follows Taylor Fritz around the world, where she is nearly kidnapped, electrocuted, burglarized, and encounters thrilling incidents around the world.
Morgan Riddle, the most famous WAG (wife, girlfriend of stars) in the tennis world, surprised fans when she revealed the negative side of her life traveling around the world with her boyfriend, world number 4 tennis player Taylor Fritz.
From terrifying incidents such as almost being kidnapped, electrocuted, burglarized, to "laugh-out-loud" moments such as vomiting in a high-end fashion store, Morgan has experienced many ups and downs in her journey to follow her lover to conquer the peak of tennis.
The life of the tennis WAG besides the "pink dream" as on Instagram has many "hidden secrets" behind it.
Almost kidnapped on a Mexican beach
The story of enjoying a romantic sunset in Acapulco seemed like it would be a memorable moment, but it became an obsession for Morgan.
She recounted the terrifying moment when two strange men stalked and chased her right on the beach. Running for her life and screaming for help, Morgan was fortunately discovered in time by the hotel's security staff.
“The tournament warned us not to go out alone, but I just wanted to take a picture of the sunset,” she admitted on Instagram, along with a photo of a man peeking out from behind a tree. It’s a valuable lesson in traveling in unfamiliar places, even for celebrities.
Electrocution in the UK and Burglaries Across Europe
Not only did Morgan experience dangers while traveling, she also had a rare incident in the UK when she was seriously electrocuted. The burns on her legs were proof of that painful experience.
But it didn't stop there, her travels with Taylor Fritz also turned her into a "magnet for thieves". Within a year, the apartments they rented in Santorini, Ibiza and London were all broken into, and even scarier, she was in the house all three times.
"Hearing strange noises in the middle of the night, it felt like my heart stopped beating," she shared. Her seemingly luxurious life was filled with anxiety and even life-threatening moments.
Unexpected difficulties
Not all of Morgan's incidents were horror-filled. Some stories made people laugh and cry.
A trip to Amsterdam that was supposed to be a fun experience turned into a disaster when she tried a "special brownie", a brownie containing cannabis, or hallucinogens. In some places like Amsterdam, cannabis is legal and can be processed into food, of which "special brownie" is a popular form.
Unaware that it contained hallucinogens, Morgan fell into a state of panic and got lost in the city without being able to call a taxi.
On top of that, during the tour in South Korea, both she and Fritz tested positive for Covid-19 and were quarantined for eight days. With no gym, Fritz was forced to use his girlfriend as "weight training" to maintain his fitness. "One of the strangest experiences of my life," Morgan recounted.
More than just "Fritz's girlfriend", Riddle is a social media star
Despite her hilarious and sad incidents, Riddle is still one of the most prominent faces behind the scenes of tennis. With nearly 500,000 followers on Instagram, she regularly shares her lavish life with her boyfriend, from VIP parties at Wimbledon to gorgeous outfits on the red carpet.
However, through the "secret palace" stories she just revealed, fans have a more realistic view of the life of a tennis WAG, not only the halo, but also countless challenges and dangers. As Morgan herself concluded: "Traveling is great, but always be vigilant, girls".
