Rory McIlroy and Erica Stoll have decided to give their marriage another go - but this isn't the only romantic drama the four-time major champ has had to contend with. The sporty couple, who initially filed for divorce just last month, astonished fans after revealing they're now giving their embattled marriage another go. Golfing pro Rory submitted legal documents in Palm Beach County State Court in Florida, while calling for a respectful and amicable process .
Erica, 36, was then afforded the state's customary 20-day period in which to provide a response. However this deadline has since been and gone and the reconciled couple - who are parents to three-year-old Poppy - have now made a major U-turn, confirming they're 'looking forward to a new future together'. Rory, 35, has previously had to deal with a very messy break-up after calling time on his engagement to Caroline Wozniacki, a woman many believed would prove to be his perfect match.
Here, the Mirror looks at the brutal three-minute break-up call which heralded their shock split...
Before his 2017 marriage to Erica, Rory was previously engaged to Danish tennis star Caroline, and from the outside at least, their romance seemed like a true sporting fairytale. Rory proposed as the pair celebrated New Year's Eve 2014 in Sydney, Australia - and Caroline joyfully accepted. Preparations were soon underway for a dreamy November wedding - only for the engagement to screech to a halt in May 2014.
