Rory McIlroy has reportedly filed for divorce from his wife Erica after seven years of marriage. The Northern Irish golfer supposedly filed for divorce in Florida on Monday, May 13.
TMZ has claimed that McIlroy had submitted documents in court for the divorce, but the reason behind the split is yet to be known. He married Erica in 2017 and welcomed their daughter Poppy in 2020. The couple first met in 2012 during the Ryder Cup while Erica worked for the PGA Tour.
However, McIlroy was dating tennis superstar Carolina Wozniacki back then. The couple were engaged but later called off their engagement. Following their split, McIlroy started dating Erica in 2014, and three years later, in 2017, they decided to walk down the aisle. They tied the knot in a lavish marriage ceremony held at Ashford Castle in County Mayo.
Rory McIlroy often makes headlines for his professional life. However, he seemingly prefers to keep his personal life away from the media.
Who is Rory McIlroy's wife Erica Stoll?
Rory McIlroy's wife Erica Stoll is from New York. However, unlike her husband who likes golf, she is an avid tennis player. As per the Democrat and Chronicle, she did her schooling at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She then started working for the PGA of America, where she luckily met her future husband.
McIlroy and Stoll were initially friends, but two years later in 2014, they started dating each other. Speaking of his first meeting with Erica, McIlroy told Golf Channel in an interview in 2019:
"Erica that week was always the one that was checking us in and out. She was there at transportation, so she was always in the car park over there. But yeah, it's still cool to look around and think about that week, and obviously everything that's happened since then. It's pretty cool."
Erica Stoll is seemingly private about her personal life. She has a social media account but keeps it private. Moreover, Rory McIlroy's social media account also majorly highlights his professional career rather than focusing more on his personal life.
