Stand-up comedian Matt Rife and fitness influencer Mariah Morse have reportedly ended their romantic relationship less than one year after they first confirmed their status as a couple. According to entertainment outlet TMZ, the pair have called it quits and have unfollowed each other on social media platforms, although neither has made a public statement regarding the split at this time.
Relationship Timeline and Social Media Clues
The relationship between the 30-year-old comic and the blonde personal trainer first came to public attention in March 2025, when they were photographed holding hands during an outing in Rhode Island. Their romance was officially confirmed in May of that year when they became "Instagram official," sharing their coupled status with their respective followers.
In September 2025, Morse posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to Rife on her Instagram account, accompanied by a carousel of intimate photographs. Her caption read: "Everyone knows you for your punch lines, charisma, your jaw line, or good looks, BUT not everyone gets to see your 2 am zoomies, the way you go out of your way to make a stranger smile, the way you remember the little things, the way you light up any room you walk in, and your heart of absolute gold. Loving you is the easiest thing I’ll ever do- happy birthday ❤️."
Rife responded in the comments section with equal affection, writing: "I’ve waited my whole life to be loved the way you love me ❤️❤️ thank you baby." Earlier in July, the comedian had included a black-and-white image of the couple holding hands backstage at one of his comedy shows in an Instagram photo dump, to which Morse commented: "I'm the luckiest girl in the world."
Current Status and Individual Profiles
As of now, Matt Rife has not publicly addressed the reported breakup. His most recent Instagram Stories showed him anticipating the Super Bowl, with posts including "Go Pats" over a sunset photo and "Super Bowl time" alongside a television emoji. Another post featured a beach view with the caption: "Thank you God." He was also pictured on a boat with male friends, smiling while wearing a backwards baseball cap.
Mariah Morse, who boasts approximately 240,000 followers on Instagram, describes herself in her profile as a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach. Her social media activity currently shows no recent mentions of Rife, aligning with reports of their separation.
Recent Controversies and Professional Engagements
Beyond his personal life, Matt Rife faced some backlash from parents in December 2025 after a teaser for his Netflix stand-up special, "Matt Rife: Unwrapped – A Christmas Crowd Work Special," potentially spoiled the Santa Claus secret for young children. In the preview, which autoplayed for some users, Rife states in a comedic bit: "Santa is your parents." This prompted criticism from outraged parents on platforms like Reddit, with one user labeling the move as "scummy" for potentially ruining childhood magic.
The comedian continues to be active in his professional career, with his Netflix specials maintaining his visibility in the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, Morse focuses on her fitness coaching and nutrition advocacy, engaging with her substantial online following.
