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.”

The Liverpool-supporting tennis stunner only went public with her relationship with Lee on Valentine’s Day of this year.
However, on Friday she shared an image on Twitter of herself sporting a massive diamond on her ring finger.
She captioned the snap, in front of crystal-clear waters: “Happiest day of my life yesterday saying yes to my soulmate @Dlee042”
Lee, a 6ft 9ins forward, has been in the NBA since 2005 when he was drafted by the New York Knicks.
He spent five years in NYC, before heading to Golden State Warriors, where helped Stephen Curry and Co to the NBA title in 2014-15.
Lee last played for basketball giants the San Antonio Spurs last season, but has been without a team so far in 2017-18.
Wozniacki, who at 5ft 10ins is nearly a foot shorter than her new fiance, is a two-time US Open finalist and former world No1 – in 2010.
She is currently ranked No3 in the world and will be hoping to start her 2018 season strongly, buoyed by the joy in her personal life.
