After being connected to the four-time major winner, Amanda Balionis shared a mysterious message on Instagram while Rory McIlroy and his spouse Erica Stoll were taking a break during the Olympics.
Following reports that golf reporter Amanda Balionis and his wife Erica Stoll were spotted having fun together at the Olympics, Balionis shared a mysterious Instagram post about interacting with people.
Alongside Shane Lowry, McIlroy, 35, is representing Ireland in the Olympic golf competition at Le Golf National while he and his spouse are in Paris. The couple can be seen watching Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal play tennis against Rajeev Ram and Austin Krajicek while taking in the Olympic action.
The four-time major champion and his spouse made headlines recently when McIlroy declared they were divorcing, only to postpone the divorce to give their marriage another chance. Amid rumors of a romantic relationship with Balionis, McIlroy’s personal life came under scrutiny in the run-up to the U.S. Open when he revealed his plans for divorce. As the couple had a lighthearted interview and Balionis was spotted without her wedding ring, speculation began to swirl. All speculation, though, was silenced when McIlroy and Stoll decided to end their divorce.
Since then, Balionis has shared a number of cryptic messages on Instagram, which has some people thinking there might be a deeper significance involving McIlroy. Her most recent post, which is an assortment of July highlights, has a message about using humor to connect with people and share laughter.
Treasure the talent of humor. It doesn’t have to be this way in life. It’s not necessary for spirituality to be so depressingly serious. Nor does work have to be that way. Acknowledge life’s humor. Seek it out. Locate it. Have fun with it. Get close to people who enjoy a good laugh,” the post advised.
We can become more aware of the power of humor in our own lives by spending time with people who laugh. Laughter has the power to spread. Being around people who laugh often has a magnetic and restorative quality for me.
In the run-up to his disappointing performance at Pinehurst No. 2, where he lost to Bryson DeChambeau after bogeying three of the last four holes, McIlroy talked openly about the circulating rumors about his personal life. However, he refrained from going into details about his relationships.
“Unfortunately, there have been rumors about my personal life lately,” McIlroy said. It’s foolish to respond to every rumor that arises. Erica and I have come to the realization over the last few weeks that our best future was as a family. Thankfully, our disagreements have been settled, and we are eager to start over.”
At three under par, McIlroy finished the first round of the Olympic competition tied for sixteenth place. Xander Schauffele, the winner of The Open, is fighting to keep his gold medal in the meantime. He tied for second place after the first round on six under par. Hideki Matsuyama of Japan is in the lead going into the second round, sitting at eight under par.
