American tennis player Taylor Fritz has publicly named actress Sydney Sweeney as his celebrity crush following his recent breakup with social media influencer Morgan Riddle. Fritz, who has been experiencing a strong period in his tennis career this summer, confirmed his interest in Sweeney during a YouTube video posted on July 23.
The video featured Fritz golfing with influencers Nick Nayersina, David Dobrik, and Josh Richards. During a segment where participants discussed their celebrity crushes, Fritz identified Sweeney. When questioned about his seriousness, Fritz nodded, and fellow influencer Josh Richards remarked that Sweeney was "in the realm," suggesting accessibility. Shortly after, Fritz was recorded on camera saying, "We’re talking about Sydney Sweeney, got me all f****** tee’d up!"
Fritz and Riddle, who had been together for six years, announced their breakup in April. The relationship was highly publicized due to Fritz's prominence in men's tennis and Riddle's large social media following.
Sweeney is a prominent figure in entertainment, known for her roles in television and film. The notes suggest a potential aesthetic similarity between Sweeney and Riddle, noting both share blonde hair and blue eyes. However, Sweeney is reportedly in a relationship with music executive Scooter Braun.
