Golfer Rory McIlroy confirmed his relationship with Caroline Wozniacki in a press conference and planted her a kiss on the lips in front of cameras and a Yale University football team on Friday night.
Last month’s rumors about the two dating surfaced when a tennis fan spotted them in London and shared photos on Facebook. Later McIlroy was attending Wozniacki’s matches as a spectator, but their relationship wasn’t publicly announced. As DeShawn Besabella reports, Rory confirmed relationship with Caroline in a press conference mostly concerning the state of his injuries sustained at a recent tournament. He told the press that they could refer to Caroline his girlfriend. Caroline still hasn’t revealed anything officially, but the public kiss should be considered enough.
As you know, the photos of Rory and Caroline with the football team were revealed before, but this photo of the kiss is a new addition, I saw it only today. The world No.1 Wozniacki won her fourth successive New Haven Open title over the weekend and is top seed at the US Open.

And talking about Sharapova, Novak Djokovic has returned to his famous impersonations of the Russian, this time for a Head commercial. Djokovic is wearing a blond wig 
. By the way, Sharapova is also using a Head racquet.
Here’s Maria’s comment from her Facebook page:
“HAHAHA did you see what Novak Djokovic posted? Hey @Novak, is that your new road to success – trying to be me? I am a little disappointed you did not wear my dress and think you could work on your body language a bit more! And the hair… no comment on that… what do you guys think?”
