Rory McIlroy recently filed for divorce from his wife of seven years, Erica Stoll, citing their marriage as “irretrievably broken.” In the aftermath, sources revealed that McIlroy’s ex-fiancée, tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, wants to be excluded from his latest drama. Wozniacki and McIlroy got engaged on New Year’s Eve in 2013, but McIlroy ended the relationship less than five months later, right after sending out wedding invitations. Wozniacki has since moved on, marrying former NBA All-Star David Lee and starting a family, while friends describe McIlroy’s latest breakup as karma for how he treated her.
Years ago, McIlroy broke off his engagement to Wozniacki through a three-minute phone conversation, as confirmed by Wozniacki in a previous interview. She expressed shock at the lack of a face-to-face conversation and felt hurt by the public nature of their split. Despite the public nature of their breakup, Wozniacki has returned to tennis after a hiatus of more than two-and-a-half years, making impressive runs at tournaments like the US Open and the BNP Paribas Open in 2024. McIlroy’s relationship with Wozniacki has been a significant part of both their lives, with McIlroy expressing regret and well-wishes to his former fiancée for the future.
Since their split, Wozniacki has moved on in her personal life, finding happiness and stability with David Lee, a family-oriented retired NBA player. The couple shares two children, Olivia and James, and leads a quiet life focused on their family. Friends close to Wozniacki view McIlroy’s divorce as a form of karma for how he treated her in the past. Despite the challenges and pain of their breakup, Wozniacki has found her footing in both her personal and professional life, showcasing resilience and determination in her return to competitive tennis.
McIlroy’s relationship with Erica Stoll has come to an end after seven years of marriage, with the golfer citing irreparable differences as the reason for their divorce. While McIlroy has not issued any public statements about the divorce, sources close to Wozniacki have indicated that she wants no part in the drama surrounding McIlroy’s latest breakup. As McIlroy navigates this new chapter in his personal life, he may reflect on his past relationships and the impact they have had on his journey. Both McIlroy and Wozniacki have moved on from their past and found new paths forward as they focus on their individual lives and careers.
