“I was devastated, I had planned the bachelorette party” – When Serena Williams opened up on Caroline Wozniacki & Rory McIlroy ending their engagement.
Serena Williams once shared her thoughts on close friend Caroline Wozniacki’s engagement to golf star Rory McIlroy getting called off. Wozniacki also disclosed that the American refused to let her deal with the end of the relationship alone.
Wozniacki and McIlroy began dating in 2011, and they got engaged on New Year’s Eve in 2013. However, just days after they sent out their wedding invitations in May 2014, McIlroy broke off the engagement over a phone call. The Northern Irishman later publicly stated that the “problem” was entirely his, admitting he realized that he “wasn’t ready for all that marriage entailed.”
Once the news broke, Serena Williams immediately reached out to Caroline Wozniacki to offer her support. In a 2015 interview with Vogue, the American admitted to being “devastated” over Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy’s broken engagement since she had already planned the bachelorette party.
“I was devastated. I had planned the bachelorette party!” Serena Williams said.
Meanwhile, the Dane recalled how her phone was inundated with calls following the breakup but disclosed that she didn’t feel like speaking to anyone at the time. Although most people got the hint, Williams shared that she was determined to speak to her friend.
“My phone was going crazy. But I didn’t want to talk to anyone. Most people got the message and stopped trying. But Serena Williams isn’t most people,” Wozniacki said.
“I kept calling,” Williams admitted.
