Raquel Pedraza Is Taylor Fritz's Ex Wife Who Has Lived Privately since Their Divorce

Raquel Pedraza and Taylor Fritz were relatively young when they wed. They welcomed a son together but divorced two years into their marriage. Fritz found new love afterward, but Pedraza has kept a low profile.

In May 2016, on day ten of the 2016 French Open, Taylor Fritz attended the ITF World Champions' Dinner, but the tennis star wasn't alone. Alongside him was his then-fiancee, Raquel Pedraza.

The former couple's attendance at the event was among their earliest public appearances, but there weren't many. Pedraza donned a gorgeous blue-patterned gown and minimal silver jewelry with her hair tied up in a ponytail.

Fritz tucked his hand around her waist as they posed for photos, looking handsome in a simple black tux with a tie matching the color of her dress. Although the athlete was a champion among champions at the dinner, his then-soon-to-be wife had also been a tennis competitor.

Raquel Pedraza Started Playing Tennis at Age Five

Little is known about Pedraza's background, but according to her profile on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) website, she began playing tennis when she was five. As her activity indicates, she competed in the junior division, singles and doubles, between 2014 and 2016.

It appears she stopped playing professionally in the latter year, by which the now 25-year-old and Fritz were engaged. After the ITF World Champions Dinner, the pair attended the Taste Of Tennis event in New York City that August.

Their next public appearance, likely their last as a couple, was in December 2017, at the premiere of "Father Figures," which starred Owen Wilson and Terry Bradshaw, in Los Angeles. Pedraza and Fritz tied the knot sometime that year, around ages 19 and 20, respectively.

Raquel Pedraza's Son Sometimes Appears on His Father's Socials

In August 2023, Fritz briefly touched on becoming a husband and father by 20. He shared that he and Pedraza welcomed their son, Jordan (now six), in 2017 and divorced in 2019. Given how quickly his life changed, Fritz said he felt older than he was.

"I think [having a kid] taught me a lot of lessons about time management. I have to juggle all these different things," the 26-year-old reflected, adding that being a father also taught him to care less about outside opinions.

Although he mainly dedicates his social media to work-related content, he occasionally posts about his son. In December 2020, he wished his Instagram followers a Merry Christmas alongside a photo showing him and the happy youngster holding a Hot Wheels Christmas present.

Raquel Pedraza's Ex-husband Found New Love the Year after Divorce

Fritz started dating model and fashion influencer Morgan Riddle in 2020. The lovebirds celebrated two years of romance in June 2022. "[Two] years [have] flown by with @moorrgs. I love you, and I can't wait for all the fun times still ahead for us," Fritz gushed.

The 26-year-old continues rising in the tennis ranks, as does Coco Gauff, who recently won the US Open, and Frances Tiafoe. As for Pedraza, it remains to be known if she, too, has found another partner. She has an Instagram page; however, as of this writing, it is private.
