Jordan Fritz’s Parents Union Ended in 2019
Jordan Fritz’s parents only stayed married for three years before opting for divorce in December 2019. Raquel and Taylor were just teenagers when they became officially engaged. A then 18-year-old Taylor was under the Eiffel Tower with his love interest when he gathered the courage to pop the big question, to which he got an answer in the affirmative.
July 17th, 2016, marked the couple’s nuptials as they hosted their wedding ceremony in a Santa Fe, Californian-based church.
Considering the date of their wedding, it goes without saying that the couple welcomed their only child after they got married. While the birth of Jordan Fritz made things appear rosy for the duo, it did not stop their union from hitting the rocks within three years.
The couple’s divorce process was described as peaceful and was finalized in 2019. Taylor and Raquel’s short-lived marriage didn’t give them a chance to give Jordan a sibling, and neither of them has bothered to give marriage another chance since then. However, Taylor is in an open relationship with popular social media star Morgan Riddle; they started going steady in 2020.
Raquel, on the other hand, has opted to live her life away from the prying eyes of the media since their divorce. Thus, it isn’t easy to know what her love life is like.
Jordan Fritz Spends More Time with His Mother
Right from his birth, Jordan Fritz has been spending more time with his mum than his dad. According to Taylor, the nature of his profession made it impossible for him to spend quality time with his wife and kid after he became a father; this was because of the constant traveling.
There are people who opt to keep their careers on hold to spend time with family but obviously not Taylor. He was in an interview session with Tennis X after the birth of his son when the athlete said that his career had not been affected by his new status as a father as his wife stepped up and has been efficient in handling everything. Raquel taking charge of his off-court stuff means that Taylor can be on the court even more than he used to.
Taylor also revealed how he was missing the fulfillment and joy that comes with spending time with family, and after his divorce in 2019, the tennis player decided to change course. In 2020, he started taking time off the court to relax and enjoy family life with his son. Father and son would sleep in and play some video games to pass the time.
Taylor once shared an exchange between him and his son on social media. The tennis player was hanging out with his then five-year-old son when Jordan Fritz started quizzing him on his knowledge of countries and their capital cities.
In the video, which was captured by Taylor on his mobile phone, the World No. 13 tennis player had no idea of the capital of Costa Rica. Jordan told him it was San Jose and asked about the capital of Argentina, which Taylor also couldn’t answer. The pro tennis player concluded the video by asking how come his son is smarter than him.
The video wasted no time going viral, capturing the hearts of millions of fans all over the globe.
