CBS golf reporter Amanda Balionis has set off a flurry of speculation with her recent Instagram post, featuring a denim jacket adorned with the phrase, “It’s all good, baby, baby.” This enigmatic message comes amidst the buzz around her rumored connection with golfer Rory McIlroy, who recently halted divorce proceedings with his wife, Erica Stoll.
In her post, Balionis shared a montage of five photos from Montauk, New York, capturing a beach outing with friends. One of the images showcased her in a chic, asymmetrical black dress, leading to comments from followers who suggested it resembled a “revenge dress,” possibly hinting at a deeper story.
These rumors emerged after Balionis and McIlroy shared a seemingly flirtatious interview following his victory at the Wells Fargo Championship. Observant fans noted their smiles and laughter, which fueled the speculation, especially since Balionis was seen without her wedding ring, sparking further intrigue.
Despite the chatter, McIlroy recently reconciled with his wife, putting an end to rumors of a relationship with Balionis. McIlroy has since focused on his personal life and career, though his performance at the US Open was less than stellar. He bogeyed three of the final four holes, allowing Bryson DeChambeau to clinch the win.
After a series of missed putts, including crucial ones on the 16th and 18th holes, McIlroy announced he would be taking a break from golf. He expressed his disappointment in a statement, congratulating DeChambeau and reflecting on what he called the toughest day in his professional career. McIlroy plans to return for the Genesis Scottish Open and The Open at Royal Troon, aiming to regroup and reclaim his form.
As McIlroy takes a step back from the spotlight, Balionis’ stylish and cryptic Instagram post continues to capture attention, leaving fans curious about the story behind her intriguing message.
