Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle have called it quits, PEOPLE can exclusively confirm.

After nearly six years together, Riddle ended the relationship with the tennis star, a source tells PEOPLE on Saturday, April 25.

PEOPLE has reached out to reps for Fritz and Riddle for comment.

Fritz and Riddle began dating in June 2020 and the influencer quickly took to the tennis WAG lifestyle, announcing on TikTok it was her mission to make "tennis cool again" in a video that quickly went viral. Riddle dealt with some backlash from the video, but Fritz was quick to defend his then- girlfriend.

"I think what she did was awesome for our sport. It got a ton of people looking at it. I think you get your typical older fan who may be upset about it," he said.

Fritz added at the time, "I don't understand how anyone can get upset about it. I'm the one that's a professional tennis player, I'm the one that does this for a living. I 100 percent agree with everything in that video," Fritz explained during a press conference at the 2022 Indian Wells Masters tournament.

Riddle spoke to PEOPLE in 2023 about her and Fritz's shared goal to make the sport more appealing to a younger generation.

"I think that he appreciates that we both have this collective goal of bringing it to a younger crowd. He does his part of it and I do mine," she said. "I remember when him and I first met within the first week or two, one of the things that he told me is I just want tennis to be cooler in our generation. It's just not."

Riddle became a staple at her boyfriend's matches during their relationship, taking to YouTube, Instagram and TikTok with highly-curated content drops around Fritz's matches, including Day in the Life videos from his tournaments and elaborately-planned outfits for major tournaments like Wimbledon.

The influencer was known to be on the road with Fritz and spoke openly about making their busy lives work together.

"We travel so well together, which people always ask me, 'How do you guys spend that much time in a hotel room together without wanting to rip each other's heads off?' " she told PEOPLE. "But we get along really well, which is why I think we've been able to make it work the last couple years."

She added, "Both of us are very focused on what we're doing. I'm not always like, 'When are you coming back to the room?' I'm out doing things or meeting people which I think is good that we're very much immersed in each other, but also have our own things going on no matter where we are."

Fritz is currently resting due to a knee injury that has plagued him for much of the clay court season. He withdrew from this weekend's Madrid Open after previously pulling out of the Monte Carlo and Munich Opens earlier this month.
