So, the other day, a random thought popped into my head – I was watching some golf highlights, saw Rory McIlroy, and suddenly wondered, “Wait, how old is his daughter now?” It feels like just yesterday news was out about her being born, but time flies, doesn’t it?
My first step, as usual when these curiosities strike, was to grab my phone. I fired up my web browser, the one I always use, and went straight to my favorite search engine. Nothing fancy, just typed in something simple like “Rory McIlroy daughter age” or maybe it was “how old is Rory McIlroy’s kid.” I don’t remember the exact words, but you get the gist.
A bunch of results came up, of course. I tend to look for names I recognize, like major sports news sites or reputable celebrity news outlets. You have to be a bit careful, you know, not everything you read online is spot on. I scrolled through a couple, just scanning the headlines and snippets.
What I was really looking for was her birth date. If I could find that, figuring out her current age would be easy peasy. After a click or two, I found it! Her name is Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, which is a lovely name. And the key piece of information: she was born on August 31, 2020.
Okay, so with that date, I did a quick mental calculation. Let’s see… from August 2020 to August 2021, that’s one year. Then to August 2022, she’s two. August 2023, she turned three. Since we’re now past August 2023 but not yet at August 2024 (as I’m writing this), that means she’s currently three years old. She’ll be turning four later this year, in August.
It’s funny, once I figured out her age, my mind immediately went to what kids that age are like. You know, they’re probably super active, starting to really explore. I remember reading somewhere about gifts for kids around that age, things like “a toy baby stroller or something she can push while walking will be popular, and new bath toys are always welcome.” It just makes you think how quickly they grow from tiny babies into these little personalities.
So, there you have it. That was my little journey of discovery to find out how old Rory McIlroy’s daughter is. Just a simple question, a quick search, and a little bit of date-checking. It’s amazing what you can find out with a few taps on a screen these days!
