Rory McIlroy and wife, Erica Stoll, have had quite a year. <\/p>\n
From the PGA Tour to Hollywood, Rory McIlroy and wife, Erica Stoll<\/a>, have been in the spotlight in 2026. Yet, it is a special moment McIlroy shared with his wife following Europe\u2019s Ryder Cup win in September 2025 that has created a buzz. <\/p>\n Author Alan Shipnuck has drawn attention for his new book \u201cRory: The Heartache and Triumph of Golf\u2019s Most Human Superstar.\u201d After some initial skepticism from McIlroy, Shipnuck insists that the two are now on good terms following the release of the book. <\/p>\n During an interview on the \u201cTwo Writers Slinging Yang\u201d podcast<\/a>, Shipnuck revealed a special moment McIlroy shared with Stoll following Europe\u2019s Ryder Cup victory over the United States. <\/p>\n For context, Stoll and McIlroy had been subjected to fans\u2019 insults throughout the tournament. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd, you know, the Masters completed Rory as a golfer in a lot of ways, like Bethpage is kind of this redemption of him as a family man and as a human,\u201d Shipnuck explained in the April 14, interview. \u201cAnd so he publicly defends his wife, speaks about her more emotionally than he ever has.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the champions press conference, all of Team Europe cheers. And I\u2019m witnessing this stolen moment, this incredibly intense embrace and I\u2019m standing right there. I can actually hear Rory\u2019s voice,\u201d Shipnuck continued.<\/p>\n \u201cHe says to his wife, \u2018I love you so much.\u2019 Their eyes are glistening and it\u2019s like this really beautiful ending to the book. And so in that case, his marriage had to be in the book, because it\u2019s been a talking point for two years.\u201d<\/p>\n Rory McIlroy Has Been Skipping Tournaments to Spend More Time With Wife, Erica Stoll & Practice for Majors GettyRory McIlroy married wife Erica Stoll McIlroy in at Ashford Castle in 2017.<\/p>\n McIlroy has been more selective with his schedule in 2026. The star has opted so skip recent tournaments to prepare for majors and spend more time with his family. <\/p>\n \u201cSome majors, I haven\u2019t went to the tournament site ahead of schedule, and I\u2019ve done well, but for the most part when I have made an advanced trip, it\u2019s worked out well for me,\u201d McIlroy told reporters<\/a> on May 12. <\/p>\n \u201cIt also gives me the ability to go home on Sunday night, see Erica and Poppy yesterday, and then come up here and not feel stressed about having to play a lot of holes or get up here early. I can take more of a relaxed approach going into the week.\u201d<\/p>\n Rory McIlroy & Wife, Erica, Made a Cameo in \u2018The Devil Wears Prada 2\u2019 GettyRory McIlroy and wife, Erica Stoll, are now movie stars.<\/p>\n Stoll made a rare public appearance with a cameo alongside McIlroy in the new film \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2.\u201d When approached to appear in the movie, McIlroy pushed for his wife to be in the film as well. <\/p>\n \u201cSo, \u2018The Devil Wears Prada\u2019 thing was so random,\u201d McIlroy explained in a May 6, interview on the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast. \u201cI won The Players Championship last year and they asked me afterwards, like, what did you do last night to prepare? I said, well, I had dinner and I got back to the room and I watched \u2018The Devil Wears Prada.\u2019 <\/p>\n \u201c\u2026 So, the team reached out and said, \u2018Look, (director David Frankel) was wondering if you would want to do some sort of cameo?\u2019 And I said to my wife, Erica, I\u2019m like, yeah, what do you think? And she\u2019s like, yeah, absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJonathan Adams<\/a> is a veteran sports contributor covering the NFL, NBA and golf for Heavy.com.
