In an official statement, he said Guardian“There have been rumours about my personal life lately, which is unfortunate. Reacting to every rumour is a fool’s game.
“Over the past few weeks, Erica and I have come to realize that our best future is to stay together as a family.
“Thankfully we have resolved our differences and are looking forward to a fresh start.”
McIlroy and his wife, Erica Stoll, were spotted in Florida on Monday with their three-year-old daughter.
Stoll was wearing her engagement ring, while her husband was wearing his wedding ring.
The couple were spotted together just hours after McIlroy’s heartbreaking US Open defeat.
McIlroy came terrifyingly close to ending his 10-year wait for a major title this weekend.
He was on his way to winning the US Open but made three bogeys with five holes remaining and lost his two-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau.

The Northern Irish golf star watched with disappointment as his rival won the competition.
Following this, he could not attend the final ceremony and immediately left the Pinehurst Resort.
DeChambeau expressed sympathy for McIlroy after he won the title, saying: “If he missed that putt, I would never wish that on anybody.”
“Rory will win many more major championships. There’s no doubt about that. I think his passion will only continue to grow.”
Get to know about Rory McIlroy’s tempestuous love life
Rory McIlroy enjoyed a high-profile romance with former world number one tennis player Caroline Wozniacki before they split in 2014.
The following year, the golfer began dating Erica Stoll, whom he first met on the PGA Tour in 2011.
Erica often interacted with players through her role as the PGA’s Championship Volunteer Operations Manager.
He even prevented McIlroy from missing his tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup due to some confusion over time zones.
The incident marked the beginning of a deep friendship between the two, with their relationship turning romantic four years ago.
McIlroy and Erica were spotted on several dates in Rochester, New York during the early days of their relationship.
Just eight months later, the couple got engaged in Paris and tied the knot at Ashford Castle in Ireland in 2017.
Three years later, the couple welcomed daughter Poppy into the world.
During their time together, McIlroy and Erica kept their relationship to themselves, with the golfer attempting to protect his family from cameras during the filming of Netflix’s Full Swing documentary series.
However, after seven years of marriage, McIlroy filed for divorce from Erica.
The reasons for the divorce were not disclosed, but the Northern Irish man filed documents with a Florida court.
However, a few weeks later, he took a U-turn on his decision to divorce.
McIlroy told the outlet: “Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and are looking forward to a fresh start.”
