Caroline Wozniacki once again denies she and Rory McIlroy have broken up
Over the weekend, the Irish Independent reported once again that Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki have broken up. And once again, we have a firm denial.
Like last time, “sources” supposedly told the Independent that Wozniacki is distraught over McIlroy ending their relationship. But get this — the latest rumors indicated the final straw for McIlroy was that photo Woz posted of him last month on Twitter that showed him in a deep sleep with his mouth wide open.

“Yes they are over,” a source reportedly told the Independent. “It’s a difficult time for them both but it is for the best in the long run.”
Serena Williams was even said to have weighed in on the gossip.
“Rory was very upset by (the picture) and even Serena Williams pointed out – albeit in a joking way – it was a pretty mean thing to do,” the source said. “There were a lot of tears. She still has her profile picture on her social networking site set as the two of them in happier times, but I can tell you the pair are no longer an item.”
On Monday, Wozniacki told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet that we have another baseless rumor on our hands. Translation via For the Win:
“I’m so tired of the rumors,” Wozniacki said. “They occur every time Rory and I are apart a few days or do not write on Twitter. There is nothing in it, and from now on I just think that I will keep my private life private. It is so annoying that the media and the so-called sources constantly spread the rumors. They write just what they want.
“All is well (with the relationship), and then there’s not much more to say about it. I just want to be allowed to live my life off the court without all the speculation.”
McIlroy and Wozniacki are constantly fending off breakup rumors, so it would probably be best if they kept the PDA to a minimum and tried to be more private about their relationship. Then again, it probably wouldn’t make a difference at this point.
