The Rory McIlroy & Amanda Balionis Affair Rumors, Explained

Because Rory McIlroy’s divorce had been so sudden and seemingly came from nowhere, it didn’t take long for fans to speculate as to the actual reason for the split beyond what was reported in the media. Many fingers pointed at Amanda Balionis after observing McIlroy and the CBS sports reporter getting a bit too cozy during his post-victory interview at the Wells Fargo Championship. Coincidentally, the interview took place on Mother’s Day, and McIlroy suspiciously skipped a greeting to his soon-to-be ex-wife Erica Stoll, opting instead to shower his mother with well-wishes.

Fans couldn’t help but notice the giggles and blushes exchanged between McIlroy and Balionis during the interview, and it didn’t help that they had matching outfits — just as they did the previous week. “Not to throw gas on the fire but Rory McIlroy and Amanda Balionis have matched the past 2 weeks,” a fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Do you think the Rory McIlroy and Amanda Balionis rumors are true? The timelines make sense,” tweeted another.

Adding more fuel to the fire, reports surfaced of McIlroy being spotted around San Diego, near where Balionis lives. He even reportedly picked up a restaurant order using her name. “My sister was at a restaurant, and he came in to pick up a “to go” and used the name ‘Amanda’ as the pick-up. He paid cash – only a few people noticed him, and he was out!” a source dished, per the Daily Mail. We’re not going to jump to conclusions here, but make of that what you will!
