Rory McIlroy's Wife Makes Notable Decision After the Masters
"Last, but certainly not least over to my left. My family..." McIlroy started before getting overcome with emotion. "They've been on this journey with me the whole way through. They know the burden that I've carried to be able to come here every year and try and try and try again."

"The one thing that I would say to my daughter Poppy, who's sitting over there: never give up on your dreams. Never, ever give up on your dreams. Keep coming back, keep working hard, and if you put your mind to it, you can do anything. I love you."
Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland poses with daughter Poppy and wife Erica Stoll holding the Masters trophy during the Green Jacket Ceremony after winning the 2025 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 13, 2025 in Augusta, Georgia.While McIlroy's wife and daughter were on hand to witness his first Masters victory, his parents didn't make the trip, preferring to stay in Ireland. A few days after winning the green jacket, the five-time major winner made the trip back home to celebrate with the people who sacrificed so much so their son could have the opportunity to play the game he loves.
While he and Poppy made the trip, his wife was nowhere to be found, according to a report from Us Weekly. She appears to have made the decision not to travel with the family for whatever reason.

Their relationship nearly ended last year when the four-time major champion filed for divorce from his wife in May 2024. After citing that his marriage was irretrievably broken at the time, McIlroy called off the divorce less than a month later.
"There have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate," McIlroy said in the statement given to The Guardian last summer. "Responding to each rumor is a fool's game. Over the past weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together. Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning."

Liam Neeson Says He Knew Pamela Anderson Was ‘Wonderful' From The Moment They Met
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson were friends before they started dating, but their first impressions of each other suggest that a spark was always there. The Naked Gun co-stars appeared on SiriusXM's Radio Andy with Andy Cohen and spoke about their first meeting. Neeson began, 'Well, you know, we had never met before [filming The Naked Gun], and I remember thinking, "Wow, she is gorgeous," but she had this wonderful sense of silliness and just humanity about her. I don't want to blow her head up, but it was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific, you know?' Anderson had similar praise for Neeson, saying, 'Well, I was nervous to meet him, of course, and you're always nervous the first day on the set, and it was just easygoing and very silly, which puts you at ease and very silly, on and off.' This is far from Neeson's first time praising his new partner. During his appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night, he called Anderson 'great' and 'terrific.' Back in October, he spoke about being smitten with his co-star, who plays his love interest in the film. 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her,' he told People. 'She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.' Anderson and Neeson recently started dating. On July 29, People broke the news, with a source telling the outlet, 'It's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other.' That same day, a source told Us Weekly, '[They] always had chemistry while they were filming, and their friendship naturally developed into more.'
