Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki gets over Rory McIlroy by revealing she is engaged to NBA forward David Lee on Twitter
Danish star was engaged to the Northern Irish golfer in 2014 after a three-year relationship... but they broke up months later
TENNIS ace Caroline Wozniacki has announced she is engaged to NBA star David Lee.
The Danish superstar, 27, had been engaged to golfer Rory McIlroy in 2014 following a three-year relationship.
However, the pair split up as the Northern Irishman claimed he wasn't ready to be married.
Wozniacki had dated McIlroy between 2011 and 2014, getting engaged in January, before breaking-up in May.
At the time, McIlroy took full responsibility for ending the relationship.
He claimed: "The problem is mine.
"The wedding invitations issued at the weekend made me realise that I wasn't ready for all that marriage entails.
"I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we've had."
