Wild Rumor Emerges On Social Media Claiming Rory McIlroy’s Divorce Is The Result Of An Affair With Popular Female Golf Reporter
After seven years of marriage together, Rory McIlroy filed for divorce from his wife, Erica.
In a statement, McIlroy’s public relations staff confirmed the divorce while explicitly stating that he would not be discussing it with the media.
Not discussing the divorce with the media is a hot topic this week because a new rumor regarding Rory McIlroy’s divorce has surfaced online.
CBS Sports golf reporter Amanda Balionis was on the call for the final round of the PGA Championship on Sunday, and she found herself at the center of controversy. Her name has been brought up as the woman who allegedly had a relationship with Rory McIlroy, which allegedly caused his impending divorce.
It doesn’t seem that Balionis, who wed former NFL quarterback Bryn Renner, is sporting her wedding band anymore. Because she hasn’t appeared in the ring this year, she has caused relationship rumors to surface at a few major golf events.
Both McIlroy and Balionis have filed for divorce from their partners.
On the eve of the PGA Championship, McIlroy submitted the documents in Florida in which their marriage was described as “irretrievably broken.”
Stoll gave birth to their first child, Poppy, three years after getting married.
