Could this be the start of Ro-Nad? Golfer McIlroy spotted enjoying night out with top Irish model Nadia Forde at Dublin bar
Golfer Rory McIlroy and top Irish model Nadia Forde enjoyed a night out in Dublin together last weekend, the Irish Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The pair were spotted in the trendy House bar on the city's Leeson Street where they were joined by a group of Rory’s friends for a session which ended, insiders said, with a bar bill topping €7,000.
According to sources Rory and Nadia were seen ‘getting close’ all night and left the pub alone together just before 3am where Rory had a chauffeur-driven Mercedes waiting outside.

‘There was a big group of them all together in the conservatory area. It wasn’t cordoned off, but they kept to themselves,' said a fellow clubber.
'Rory’s group had about 15 lads with them and there were a few other girls as well. But Rory and Nadia were chatting all night. They were sitting together and laughing and joking. They really didn't care who saw them.'
One source claimed Rory picked up the bar tab for the large group which is said to have been an eye watering €7,000, thanks to several expensive bottles of champagne.
Nadia was pictured the next day in Rory’s hometown of Bangor where she was enjoying the day with model Katie Larmour – who is engaged to Rory’s closest friend Harry Diamond.
Nadia and Katie were photographed on some pedal ducks in Pickie Fun Park in Bangor where they waved enthusiastically at the photographer.
Rory, who split with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki last month, is understood to have returned to Hollywood in Bangor on Sunday afternoon.
Nadia, who featured in FHM magazine’s sexiest women list, has refused to comment on the nature of her relationship with the golfer.

A spokesperson for Rory also refused to comment when contacted this weekend.
The model turned singer has just launched her music career and has entered the US Billboard dance club charts at number 49 with her new song Love is in the Air.
Nadia and Rory first met in House last year and the pair are understood to have remained in contact.
Before he partied in Dublin, Rory had spent last Saturday afternoon at Curragh Racecourse in Kildare at the Dubai Duty Free Derby. He was spotted taking in the races with his entourage of friends in tow.
The golfer had just arrived back into Ireland from Ibiza after he spent the week on a lads’ holiday with a group of seven pals.
He and his tennis-star ex had been dating for over two years and enjoyed a very public and high profile relationship.
They were known to fans and the media by the nickname ‘Wozilroy’.
Their every move was charted by the couple on Twitter and their New Year’s engagement was broken to the world on the social media site.

But there were rumblings that all was not well in the relationship and the couple were reported to have split just months before Rory popped the question.
It is understood that they had a row when Caroline posted an unflattering picture on Twitter of her boyfriend asleep.
In May, Rory made the shock announcement that he had ended the relationship and called off the wedding.
The couple had been planning a no-expense spared bash in New York on November 8 and Caroline had even bought her dream dress.
Rory said that on seeing the invitations he realised that he ‘wasn’t ready for all that marriage entails’ and added that ‘the problem is mine’.

‘There is no right way to end a relationship that has been so important to two people,’ he said in a statement.
‘I wish Caroline all the happiness she deserves and thank her for the great times we’ve had.’
Nadia has been single since her split from Ireland rugby star Luke Fitzgerald and has been focusing on launching her music career.
By contrast to Rory and Caroline, Nadia was never pictured with Luke and shunned all public events in favour of a low-profile relationship.
