News of 27-year-old Wozniacki's engagement comes three years after her split with golf superstar Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy and Wozniacki were together for three years between 2011 and 2014 and had been engaged before splitting shortly after sending out wedding invitations.

McIlroy, who has since married, later explained that the split was his decision.
