CBS’ Amanda Balionis parties in Las Vegas after Rory McIlroy rumors

Amanda Balionis, the well-known CBS Sports reporter, was spotted enjoying a vibrant getaway in Las Vegas with friends ahead of her coverage of the upcoming John Deere Classic. Balionis shared snapshots from her lively “girls trip” to Sin City on Instagram, captioning one post, “I’ll bet on us every time.”

Highlights of her trip included clubbing at the “On The Record Speakeasy and Club” and a heartfelt note left by a friend that read, “I love you! Drink Water – Jen.” She also shared a poem titled “Enjoy Summer,” reflecting her joyful mood. Balionis has recently gained significant attention in the golfing world, not just for her broadcasting role but also due to persistent rumors linking her to golfer Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy, 35, recently made headlines with his decision to reverse his divorce proceedings with wife Erica Stoll. Initially, he had filed for divorce on May 13, citing that their marriage was “irretrievably broken.” Stoll was even seen without her wedding ring, fueling further speculation. However, McIlroy and Balionis have maintained that their relationship has always been strictly professional.

The rumor mill kicked into high gear when Balionis was seen without her wedding ring, leading to fan speculation about a potential romantic link with McIlroy. Despite the rumors, both McIlroy and Balionis have clarified that they share only a friendly and professional relationship. Balionis is married to former NFL quarterback Bryn Renner, though reports suggest the couple may currently be estranged.

The timing of McIlroy’s divorce filing and Balionis’ marital rumors led some fans to believe there might have been a brief relationship between the two. However, McIlroy recently recommitted to his marriage with Stoll, stating in an interview with The Guardian that he and his wife had resolved their differences and were looking forward to a new chapter together.

“There have been rumors about my personal life recently, which is unfortunate,” McIlroy, a four-time major champion, remarked. “Responding to each rumor is a fool’s game. Over the past few weeks, Erica and I have realized that our best future was as a family together. Thankfully, we have resolved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”

As Balionis continues to focus on her career and personal life, she remains a prominent and respected figure in the world of golf broadcasting.
