Rory McIlroy's Divorce From Wife Erica Stoll Takes Unexpected U-Turn Amid Gossip Firestorm

As anyone who has been paying attention to Rory McIlroy’s divorce will know, there has been plenty of chatter regarding a potential post-split romance. In particular, there was a rumor that McIlroy was having an affair with CBS Sports reported Amanda Balionis. Given what had already been said about the state of McIlroy’s marriage to Erica Stoll ahead of his divorce filing, one would be forgiven for thinking the gossip would add to the tensions. However, one would be wrong. 

Speaking to The Guardian, McIlroy hinted that, if anything, dealing with the rumors behind the scenes had brought him and Stoll closer together. Case in point: though he told the outlet he and Stoll had been working on rekindling their relationship for weeks, he also acknowledged that they were aware of the rumors during that time. Even so, he wasn’t willing to say anything specific about them. “Responding to each rumor is a fool’s game,” he explained. Fair enough — and given that it seems he and Stoll have patched things up without any denials or admissions, that stance was clearly for the best. 

For what it’s worth, Stoll has remained silent throughout the entire process. In fact, it’s worth noting that she never even responded to the divorce petition. Nor, for that matter, did she hire an attorney. Talk about an unbothered queen. Here’s hoping the couple doesn’t face many more hurdles now that they’re back on track.
