12 june 2024 в 23:13
Rory McIlroy has changed his attitude towards his relationship with his wife Erica Stoll. Nearly a month after the professional golfer filed for divorce, PEOPLE confirmed that Rory’s lawyer filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, meaning the split is considered off the table.
«Recently, there have been rumors about my personal life, which is unfortunate. Responding to every rumor is a foolish game», - Rory, 35, told The Guardian on Tuesday, June 11. «In recent weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future is to be together as a family. Fortunately, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning».
The announcement came just days before Rory plays in the US Open from June 13−16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
In May, any relationship issues seemed not to have affected Rory’s golf game, as he won the Wells Fargo Championship for a record fourth time at Quail Hollow in North Carolina.
«I love coming to Quail Hollow», - he wrote on Instagram on May 12. «I love the people, the golf course, and of course, the win 😁 Thank you to the staff and fans for all the support this week and over the years».
In addition to golf, Rory and his wife Erica, 36, first met in 2012 during the Ryder Cup. At that time, the athlete was in a romantic relationship with tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.
After ending the relationship in 2014, Rory began dating Erica and later married her in a lavish wedding in 2017. According to E! News, Stevie Wonder, Niall Horan from One Direction, Ed Sheeran, actor Jamie Dornan from «Fifty Shades of Grey», - and Chris Martin from Coldplay were just some of the guests who witnessed the ceremony at a castle in Ireland.
The couple now raises their 3-year-old daughter Poppy, who was able to support her dad at the Masters in April 2023. «Always one of the best days of the year. @themasters», - Rory wrote on Instagram with a video of his daughter on the golf course. This is one of many memories he cherishes since becoming a parent.
«One thing I’ve said since I had a child is that I always thought I appreciated my parents, but it’s given me so much more appreciation for my parents», - Rory told RTÉ Sport in December 2022. «These firsts keep happening. It’s not like they ever really stop, and the firsts keep happening throughout the teenage years and beyond»
