Rory McIlroy and girlfriend Erica Stoll ended a week worth of speculation last night after the couple confirmed that they were engaged at a charity ball in Belfast.

The impressive sparkling diamond ring sported by the stunning New Yorker, who works for the PGA, confirmed widespread speculation that the couple were now engaged.

The pair attended The Paddy Wallace Fund for Autism Christmas Ball in Titanic Belfast, where celebrity guests queued to congratulate them.

Speculation about the couples engagement reached fever pitch last week after Rory posted a picture on instagram during a trip to Paris.

World number three Rory met Erica met when she came to the golfer's rescue at the Ryder Cup at Medinah in October 2012. The golfer mixed up his tee time and was only saved from disqualification after she noticed his error and arranged a police escort to the course. 

Since then, Erica has become a regular sight on the course as she shows her support for Rory.

Rory was previously engaged to Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, but he broke it off in 2014 after wedding invitations had been sent out.
