Rory McIlroy’s wife Erica Stoll breaks cover in Florida to get her nails done amid rumors of golf star’s romance with CBS reporter Amanda Balionis

Erica Stoll, the soon-to-be-former wife of Northern Ireland golfer Rory McIlroy, was seen out and about in Jupiter, Florida getting her nails done.

In exclusive images to DailyMail.com, Stoll was seen stepping out of the spa with an unidentified woman at the Polished Nail Spa in the Floridian golf capital.

Later in the day, she was seen pumping gas for the large Mercedes SUV that she had been driving around.

This comes over a week after she was seen without her flashy engagement ring in the aftermath of the shock divorce announcement.

That revelation came in the run up to last week’s PGA Championship at Valhalla in Kentucky.

McIlroy’s communications team confirmed last Tuesday that a divorce has been filed. They stressed Rory’s desire to ensure the process is ‘as respectful and amicable as possible’.

Court documents filed in Palm Beach County obtained by DailyMail.com stated their marriage was ‘irretrievably broken’.

The couple, who share a three-year-old daughter Poppy Kennedy born in 2020, tied the knot in 2017 after a storybook meeting at the 2012 Ryder Cup.

The Northern Irishman, whose career earnings total nearly £69million ($87million), first met 35-year-old New York state native Erica during the tournament in Illinois, at which she was working for the PGA.

He has previously credited the American with helping him make his tee time at Medinah – thanks to a police escort – after he missed his alarm.

He went on to win his match over Keegan Bradley as part of what was later hailed as the ‘miracle at Medinah’.

Despite initially meeting at the Ryder Cup that year, it wasn’t until a few years later that the pair would enter a relationship.

A few months after calling off his engagement with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in 2014, McIlroy and Stoll got together before getting engaged a year later.

The four-time major champion and Stoll kept their relationship largely private before they married in a lavish ceremony in Ireland in 2017.

The couple exchanged their vows at Ashford Castle in County Mayo, Ireland, in front of celebrity guests, including One Direction star Niall Horan and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, while music icons Ed Sheeran and Stevie Wonder performed at the event.

The petition for divorce states that the pair had signed a prenuptial agreement. However, the details of the arrangement have not been divulged.

McIlroy’s attorney was listed as Thomas Sasser, the same attorney who represented Tiger Woods when his wife divorced him in 2010.

The filing also calls for shared custody and a parenting plan to be established for Poppy.
