Thursday, June 13, 2024 - Golf superstar Rory McIlroy has called off his divorce from wife of seven years Erica Stoll in a shocking U-turn.
The Irishman's attorney, Thomas Sasser filed a Notice of
Voluntary Dismissal on his behalf on Tuesday afternoon, June 11 in Palm Beach
County Courthouse.
Court officials responded by closing out the case which
means McIlroy, 35, will have to start from scratch if he does decide he wants a
divorce.
The move comes less than a month after Erica, 36, was served
papers at the couple's marital home in Jupiter, Florida, informing her
that McIlroy wanted out of their marriage.
The May 13 petition gave Erica, the mother of McIlroy's
three-year-old daughter Poppy, 20 days to file a counterclaim or risk having
the court grant the divorce by default.
However, the blonde beauty reportedly failed to lodge any
response or even register an attorney by the June 2 deadline.
On Tuesday, Sasser's note was submitted to the court at
3:21pm, signed earlier in the day by McIlroy.
'Petitioner Rory D. McIlroy, by and through the undersigned
counsel, hereby voluntarily dismisses, without prejudice, the above styled
matter,' it said.
Once a court receives a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal, it
considers the divorce case over and closes the file.
Clerks have officially designated the divorce as 'disposed
other.'
The couple share a three-year-old daughter Poppy, who was
born in 2020.
