Nelly Korda Says Jessica’s Post-Wedding Heartbreak Made Her Avoid Men for a Year—Here’s the Story That Broke Fans
In a rare and emotional interview, Nelly Korda opened up about a deeply personal family experience that left fans heartbroken—and gave insight into why she chose to remain single for an entire year. According to the world-renowned golfer, it was the emotional pain her sister Jessica Korda endured shortly after getting married that changed her entire outlook on love and relationships.
“Everything Was Beautiful… Until It Wasn’t”
Recalling the events, Nelly said, “Jessica was glowing on her wedding day. Everything looked perfect. We were all so happy for her. But within days, everything changed. She was heartbroken, and it shattered me too.”
While Nelly didn’t go into the full details of what exactly happened, she described it as a deeply painful and unexpected moment that shook their family and hit her personally.
Insiders close to the family suggest that Jessica experienced either a betrayal or emotional upheaval shortly after tying the knot—something that left a lasting scar. The incident reportedly took such a toll on Nelly that she made a conscious decision to avoid commitment and dating for the next year.
A Year Without Love
“I just couldn’t trust it,” Nelly admitted. “After watching someone I love so much go through pain like that, love didn’t feel safe anymore. I needed time to reset—not just emotionally, but spiritually.”
She revealed that during that year, she didn’t entertain any romantic relationships or even casual dating. “It wasn’t about bitterness—it was about self-protection.”
Fans React With Empathy and Support
The emotional confession hit hard with fans across social media, with many expressing sympathy for both sisters.
“This explains so much about why Nelly’s been so private lately,” one fan wrote.
Another commented, “Heartbreaking. You can feel how close they are as sisters. I hope Jessica is healing, and Nelly too.”
Others applauded Nelly for speaking up and highlighting the quiet pain many people carry after seeing someone close to them suffer.
Sisterhood and Strength
The Korda sisters have always been admired for their bond—not just as fellow professional athletes, but as best friends. This revelation only reinforced that connection. Nelly made it clear that her sister’s pain wasn’t something she could just brush off. “We may compete in different arenas, but when one of us hurts, the other feels it just as deeply.”
As of now, Nelly says she’s beginning to open her heart again, but doing so cautiously. “I’m not rushing anything. I just know I needed that year. For me. For her. For healing.”
