Golf icon Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump. Woods took to social media to share affectionate photos of the couple, including one where they are standing side by side and another where they are seen lying together.
In his heartfelt post, Woods expressed his happiness, writing, "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."
Vanessa Trump's past marriage to Donald Trump Jr.
Vanessa Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. The couple tied the knot on November 12, 2005, in a ceremony held at the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Their marriage lasted over a decade before Vanessa filed for an uncontested divorce in March 2018. The separation was finalized later that year after settling child custody matters in July.
Vanessa and Trump Jr. share five children, with their eldest, Kai Trump, born in May 2007. Interestingly, Kai attends the same school as Woods' children, Charlie and Sam. She is also set to join the University of Miami’s golf program in 2026, following in the footsteps of her mother’s new partner.
Woods’ relationship history and past controversies
This new romance marks another high-profile relationship for Woods, who was previously married to Swedish model Elin Nordegren. Their marriage ended in 2010 after a highly publicised scandal involving Woods' infidelity. Since then, the golf legend has dated notable figures such as Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn and Erica Herman. His relationship with Herman ended with a legal dispute in which she alleged unfair eviction from their shared home. However, the lawsuit was later dropped.
On the professional front, Woods recently faced another setback after rupturing his left Achilles tendon. In March, he revealed that he had undergone surgery to repair the injury following sharp pain during training sessions at home. The 82-time PGA TOUR winner has had multiple injury-related setbacks in recent years, but he remains determined to return to competitive golf.
A new chapter for Woods and Vanessa
With Woods and Vanessa Trump now going public with their relationship, the couple appears to be embarking on a fresh chapter together. While the announcement has drawn significant media attention, Woods has emphasized the importance of privacy for those closest to them. Fans will undoubtedly be watching as this new romance unfolds, while Woods also focuses on his recovery and future in the sport.
