McIlroy, aged 35, filed for divorce from Stoll after being together for seven years earlier this month. They got married in April 2017 and have a daughter named Poppy, who is three years old.
According to insider reports, becoming parents changed Erica Stoll’s priorities, especially concerning travel. “She understood Rory’s profession, but after having Poppy, her perspective shifted,” the source explained. “Erica focused more on Poppy and wasn’t around for many of Rory’s tournaments.”
The couple’s lives diverged significantly over the past two years, with Rory frequently on tour while Erica prioritized caring for Poppy. Eventually, this divide reached a breaking point, the insider revealed.
McIlroy broke his silence on the divorce one day after news of the split emerged. A spokesperson for McIlroy confirmed the divorce filing, emphasizing his desire for a respectful and amicable process. “He will not be making any further comment,” the spokesperson added.
