Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki has said she would never move to Ireland to be with boyfriend of one year golfing star Rory McIlroy. Her reason? The weather.

"I love Ireland, I've been over there many times but I wouldn't live there. It's too cold for one thing," said the 21-year-old Wozniacki.

She has, however, adopted her Co Down boyfriend's Irish lilt.

"I know, everyone has been saying that I have an Irish accent now, it has rubbed off on me but I don't think my accent has rubbed off on him," added Caroline, according to the Herald.

She also said she's hoping that McIlroy will fly over from Ireland after he's finished playing in the Irish Open tournament to cheer her on at Wimbledon in London.

"He's coming over for the second week, hopefully. I was talking to him earlier and he's getting on great.

"He's back home now and getting ready for the tournament, so all's good," she said.

For those of you who flunked geography, or are functionally illiterate, here is the Oxford Dictionary(UK) definition of IRELAND. Pronunciation: /ˈīrlənd/ an island in the British Isles that lies west of Great Britain. Approximately four fifths of the area of Ireland constitutes the Republic of Ireland, with the remaining one fifth belonging to Northern Ireland. After an unsuccessful rebellion in 1798, union of Britain and Ireland followed in 1801. Ireland was divided into two self-governing areas after World War I. For later history see Ireland, Republic of and Northern Ireland. Ireland is NOT the 26 county gombeen state, no matter how much you would wish it to be so. Sorry if the truth hurts!

For those of you ignorant of world countries, there are two countries -- Ireland and Northern Ireland UK. McIlroy is born, resident and pays taxes in Northern Ireland UK, not part of Ireland, no connection to Ireland. He carries a British passport. 93% of the people of Northern Ireland UK do NOT want to be part of Ireland.

@ PhlutiePhan...you need to have your eyes checked. There's no comparison between this girl and that greasy Kardashian slut. She's a pro tennis player, so she doesn't need his money. Also, this girl could do WAAAAAAY better than Rory McIlroy, he is so fugly; a Carrot Top clone. It's amazing that this clown can even get a girl that doesn't have to be inflated before use!

Wozniacki is just another Kim Kardashian clone. Once she is through with Rory and her basking in his glorious shadow, she will move on and leave his withered remains in a moor in Northern Ireland. It's all about his money and plenty of naivete to go with it.

Rory McIlroy doesn't live in Ireland, he lives in Northern Ireland UK and carries a British passport.
