Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll have decided to call off their divorce after McIlroy filed for divorce on May 13 in Palm Beach, Florida. McIlroy’s attorney filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on behalf of the golfer in Palm Beach County Court on June 11. The couple made the decision to resolve their differences and move forward as a family together. They share a daughter named Poppy, who was born in 2020. McIlroy also spoke about his career goals during the 2024 U.S. Open, expressing his desire to win a fifth major title.
The couple married in April 2017 during a lavish ceremony at Ashford Castle in County Mayo, Ireland, with a guest list that included several A-list celebrities. They first met in 2012 at the Ryder Cup, where Stoll, a former employee of the PGA of America, helped McIlroy get to the course on time after a time zone mixup. Despite initially dating tennis player Caroline Wozniacki, McIlroy and Stoll began dating in 2014 and have been together since. Stoll has been a supportive figure for McIlroy at his tournaments, even caddying for him at the 2023 Masters Par 3 contest.
Shortly after McIlroy and Stoll initially filed for divorce, they were seen without their wedding rings. McIlroy was spotted without his ring while competing in the PGA Championship, and Stoll was seen without her engagement ring during an outing in Jupiter, Florida. McIlroy expressed pride in his career achievements over the past 15 years, including his major titles, but has been focused on winning a fifth major. Despite the rumors surrounding their personal life, the couple has decided to reconcile and focus on their future together as a family.
The couple first met in 2012 but didn’t become romantically involved until 2014 after McIlroy broke off his engagement to Wozniacki. They have maintained a low profile in their relationship, avoiding making many public appearances together. Stoll has been a supportive presence for McIlroy at his tournaments, cheering him on from the sidelines and even caddying for him at times. The couple’s decision to reconcile and work through their differences highlights their commitment to their family and their relationship.
McIlroy and Stoll’s decision to call off their divorce comes after a period of speculation and rumors about their personal life. McIlroy addressed these rumors in a statement to The Guardian, expressing his frustration with the speculation. The couple’s decision to resolve their differences and focus on their family reflects their commitment to each other. Despite the challenges they have faced, McIlroy and Stoll are looking forward to a new beginning together, with their daughter Poppy at the center of their future plans. Their journey serves as a reminder of the complexities of relationships and the importance of communication and reconciliation in overcoming challenges.
