“Hope it works out” “Now I can sleep tonight” – Fans relieved by reports of Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll calling off their divorce

Fans expressed their excitement after reports of Rory McIlroy calling off his divorce from Erica Stoll emerged. The Guardian reported that McIlroy was reconsidering his decision and was hence seeking to dismiss the divorce proceedings with his wife.

The Northern Irish golfer shocked many when he filed for divorce from Stoll after seven years of marriage. He had the papers delivered to Stoll by a private investigator, giving her around 20 days to respond. Earlier this month, it was reported that Stoll missed the deadline to reply to the divorce papers. However, just days later, news of McIlroy rethinking his decision surfaced.

NUCLR Golf shared the news on its X (formerly Twitter) account with the caption:

"#BREAKING: Just days before the U.S. Open, Rory McIlroy and wife Erica Stoll have decided to call off their divorce and have resolved their differences, @guardian is reporting with documents filed to dismiss the court case."

Fans were relieved and expressed their happiness in the comments section of the post.

"Hope it works out," commented a fan.

"Now I can sleep tonight," wrote a fan.

Some also expressed joy for McIlroy and Stoll's daughter, Poppy.

"I love this for them and their little girl," wrote a fan.

One fan suggested that people should respect their privacy, noting that it is their personal life.

"In reality it's nobody's business but theirs. Leave them alone. Is your life that boring that you have to look at others lives and get joy out of others issues. Live your life and let them live theirs," commented another fan.

"We have resolved our differences"- Rory McIlroy seeks fresh start with Erica Stoll

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Rory McIlroy opened up about his personal life after avoiding the topic, since reports of his divorce came to light. He finally broke his silence and revealed that he looks forward to "new beginnings" with Erica Stoll. He said:

"There have been rumours about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate. Responding to each rumour is a fool’s game. Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realised that our best future was as a family together. Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”

Meanwhile, on the greens, Rory McIlroy will tee off at this week's US Open in hopes of breaking his decade-long winless drought at majors.
