It’s been a busy summer for golfer Rory McIlroy. After suddenly dumping tennis pro fiancée Caroline Wozniacki in May, he went on to win the British Open and PGA Championship. Now, RadarOnline.com can reveal, he could be rounding out the season with a new girlfriend — Suits actress Meghan Markle.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the pair were spotted out to dinner together at Cipriani Downtown in New York City earlier this month. Though hanging with a group of friends, they sat next to each other for the meal.
The couple’s connection first raised eyebrows in August when McIlroy nominated the USA Network star for the ALS Ice Bucket challenge — seemingly out of the blue. Adding fodder to the gossip mill, he then appeared in the video of her completing the stunt:
And on August 29, he posted a tweet promoting her website, TheTIG.com.
Prior to Markle, McIlroy was spotted out on the town with models Nadia Forde and model Sasha Gale.
