Pro golfer from Ireland, Rory McIlroy, and his ex-fiance, Caroline Wozniacki, were the talk of the town during their shocking breakup. Rory broke up with Wozniacki in 2014, over a phone call, which was the most surprising part of their relationship. The invitations were out for their wedding, but something hit Rory, making him realize that Wozniacki was not the right partner for him.

He also realized that being with someone similar to him was not the answer he was looking for in his life. Wozniacki suffered severely, and she did not speak much about it initially. But in an interview with Graham Bensinger way back in 2017, she finally poured her heart out and explained what happened during the breakup and how it affected her.
