Fans discuss Rory McIlroy and Amanda Balionis rumours after new interview

Rumors about Rory McIlroy’s dating with Amanda Balionis have been circulating among golf fans, fueled by a recent interview that showcased their chemistry.

That’s despite US Weekly reporting from sources close to the situation that McIlroy and Amanda Balionis have nothing more than a “professional relationship.” Despite the ongoing rumors, neither McIlroy nor Balionis has addressed the alleged relationship. Instead, they have chosen to focus on their careers and tune out the outside noise.

The publication previously reported last week that Erica Stoll felt “lonely” in her marriage, with Rory McIlroy’s tour commitments across the world taking their toll. An insider close to the couple shared, “Rory was a hard person to be married to. [Erica] knew what she was getting into with his profession.”

“But once they had Poppy, things really changed and she had a new perspective. Erica was usually absent for most of his tournaments and was really focused on Poppy,” said the source.

Speculation about McIlroy andBalionis dating gained traction when the CBS Sports golf reporter interviewed the renowned Irish golfer shortly after his divorce from Erica Stoll. Balionis, married to former NFL quarterback Bryn Renner, further fueled the rumors by not wearing her wedding ring during the interview.

Now, the golfing community has been enthralled by the post-match interview between McIlroy and Balionis at the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday. Many quickly noticed Balionis’s infectious joy, sparking a flurry of speculation and discussions on various social media platforms.
