Lovely Family: Who is Rory McIlroy’s wife Erica Stoll and how many children do the couple have together?
Rory McIlroy’s wife, Erica Stoll, has been instrumental in his life and career. Born in 1988 in New York, she worked for the PGA when they first met in 2011.
Their relationship began in 2012 when Erica, then a PGA employee, helped Rory during the Ryder Cup. They share a love for sports, and Erica, a keen sailor and fan of “The Bachelor,” understands the pressures of Rory’s job. They married in a lavish ceremony at Ashworth Castle in 2017, attended by notable figures.
The couple welcomed their first child, Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, in 2020. Before Erica, Rory was engaged to Caroline Wozniacki, but he called it off in 2014, realizing that being with someone in a similar position didn’t provide the necessary detachment from the pressures of their careers.
