Golfer Rory McIlroy isn’t dating American actress Meghan Markle – because she already has a boyfriend.
They were spotted looking smitten and “very cosy” in Dylan McGrath’s restaurant after she flew in to speak at the One Young World Summit earlier in the week.

However, the Irish Independent has reported that Meghan, 33, has actually been in a relationship with a Canadian chef for a number of months – who visited Dublin with them.
A source said: “He flew to Dublin to be with Meghan during her time here. They’re madly in love, the two of them were sewn at the hip the entire time they spent in Ireland.”
They were first linked together when the newly-single golfer nominated the 33-year-old to do the Ice Bucket Challenge out of the blue.

Gorgeous Meghan said she would only do the challenge if Rory poured the ice over her.
She added: “I thought it seemed fitting that the person who nominated me would be the one to dump the ice on me.”
Rory has been single since calling off his wedding to Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki earlier this year.
He stayed in Dublin and was yesterday in town at the Westbury Hotel, where he usually stays while in Ireland.
