How did their relationship end?

McILROY ended the relationship in 2014, just days after their wedding invitations had been sent out with rumours that she had become a "bridezilla."

The break-up took place over the phone - something which Wozniacki has since admitted she found hard.

In his statement he said, "The wedding invitations 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.”
