Irish golf star Rory McIlroy and his wife Erica Stoll shocked everyone when they called off their divorce last month. This came weeks after McIlroy surprised his fans by abruptly filing for divorce from Stoll following seven years of marriage.
Now, it looks as if the pair are back to where they were!
McIlroy And Stoll Pictured Together Again
Stoll has finally been pictured with McIlroy for the first time since all of this took place.
Stoll was reportedly photographed with McIlroy and his fellow Ryder Cup teammates in London on Sunday night. The photo was posted to the Instagram Story of Diane Donald, who is the wife of Team Europe’s captain Luke Donald.
McIlroy and Stoll were tagged in the post along with Tommy Fleetwood and wife Clare Fleetwood, Shane Lowry and his wife, Wendy, Tyrrell Hatton and wife Emily Hatton, and Nicolai Højgaard and his girlfriend, Amanda Falkenberg. Over the photo, the Sister Sledge song “We Are Family” could be heard playing.
The group gathered for dinner after Donald played in the BMW International Open in Germany over the weekend.
McIlroy Calls Off Divorce
The dinner also came one month after McIlroy’s crushing defeat at the U.S. Open on June 16. This loss occurred after a media firestorm over McIlroy’s personal life following filing for divorce from Stoll on May 13. At the time of the filing, McIlroy said that his marriage was “irretrievably broken.”
On June 11, however, McIlroy changed his tune when they called off the divorce.
“There have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate. Responding to each rumor is a fool’s game,” McIlroy, told The Guardian on June 11.
“Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together,” he added. “Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”
