Wozniacki sends message to Koepka’s wife after McIlroy’s divorce

Rory McIlroy’s ex-fiancee Caroline Wozniacki reacts to Brooks Koepka’s post about his wife – but stays silent over golf superstar’s shock split from Erica Stoll

Caroline Wozniacki sent a message to Brooks Koepka’s wife after Rory McIlroy’s bombshell divorce from Erica Stoll became public this week.

McIlroy filed the divorce papers shortly before the PGA Championship with court records showing he submitted a ‘petition for the dissolution of marriage’ on Monday.

The former couple met in 2012, when Stoll had worked for the PGA of America at the Ryder Cup, and started dating in 2015. They then married in 2017. 

They have one child together, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, who was born in 2020.

Koepka took to social media to express his admiration for his wife, Jena Sims, just as the news surrounding McIlroy’s shock split broke – and Wozniacki left a comment.

Wozniacki and McIlroy began dating in 2011 and announced their engagement in 2013. However, despite making wedding plans just months out from an expected ceremony, McIlroy called off their relationship via a phone call lasting minutes.

Koepka and Wozniacki are friends and the tennis ace supported him at last year’s Masters while accompanied by her husband, former NBA player David Lee. Wozniacki and Lee wed in 2019 and have since welcomed two children. 

Hailing his wife’s debut in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Koepka wrote on Instagram: ‘So proud of you. Amazing to see what hard work can do! I love you!’ 

Shortly after, Wozniacki wrote a comment which read ‘Hot mama’ with fire emojis. 

McIlroy’s split from Wozniacki came shortly after they had sent out invitations to their wedding. McIlroy had insisted their separation was mutual and amicable but Wozniacki later revealed the relationship was called off over the phone. 

McIlroy is seeking equal parenting time with the daughter he shares with Stoll. The divorce papers have described their marriage as ‘irretrievably broken’.

Sources have suggested McIlroy’s decision to divorce his wife came out of the blue. He is said to have filed the papers a day after being pictured with his wedding ring.

The 35-year-old was snapped wearing the band on Sunday as he lifted the Wells Fargo Championship trophy – but filed for the split just 24 hours later in Florida.
