“The pandemic had just started. I was just like, ‘I don’t really want to jump into anything,’ but he was pretty persistent,” she remembered.
Riddle also admitted that she didn’t know he was a professional athlete because she didn’t watch tennis.

She recalled that they were white size large Nike socks and she wore them during the Indian Wells Masters in California in March 2022 as well.
“I got a little superstitious about it, and then he ended up winning the tournament,” she said.
When asked if there’s anything her beau is superstitious about, Riddle revealed: “Taylor doesn’t really have any superstitions except taking a cold shower before his match.”
