Rory McIlroy's decision to divorce his longtime wife, Erica Stoll, shocked fans and critics alike. The 35-year-old golfer, often a polarizing figure in the golf world, seemed to have a stable relationship with Stoll. Shortly after their split became public, rumors began circulating that McIlroy was involved in an affair with a prominent sports media personality.
However, the narrative took a twist on Tuesday afternoon when a new report suggested that Stoll was the one who left McIlroy for another man-a jiu-jitsu instructor.

Given the recent high-profile divorce of Tom Brady, this rumor quickly went viral. However, there was a significant issue, as the account that posted the story about Stoll was clearly a parody account. With no corroboration from other sources, it became apparent that the report was false.
The real reason behind the divorce
Amid the frenzy over the jiu-jitsu rumor, the true reasons for McIlroy and Stoll's divorce surfaced on Tuesday.
"A point of contention in Rory's marriage with Erica was that Erica was lonely in their marriage," a source told Us Magazine.
"Rory was a hard person to be married to."
"She 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."
