Tiger Woods confirms his relationship with Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., blending sports and political circles as their families unite over a shared passion for golf.
Golf legend Tiger Woods has officially announced his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr., sending waves through both the sports and political worlds. Woods shared the news via an Instagram post, putting to rest the swirling rumors about their relationship over the past month.
Ivanka Trump wasted no time reacting to the news, chiming in with a heartfelt comment on Woods' post that read, "So happy for you both!" Her message joined over 6,700 others celebrating the couple.
Ivanka has previously expressed admiration for Vanessa during her marriage to Don Jr., famously describing her as "Wonder Woman" in a 2016 interview with People magazine. She praised Vanessa's ability to juggle parenting their five children with grace and meaningful connections.
Vanessa and Don Jr. parted ways in 2018, but it seems Vanessa has found love again with Woods, who made their relationship public in his Instagram post. "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," Woods wrote.
Interestingly, both Woods' son Charlie and Vanessa's daughter Kai are competitive golfers. Kai is committed to play at the University of Miami, while Charlie has made his mark at U.S. Open qualifiers and even played alongside his father at tournaments. The two young golfers recently competed at the same event last month, blending their families' love for the sport.
Woods and Vanessa were spotted together at iconic golf events, including the Genesis Invitational and a TGL match created by Woods and Rory McIlroy. Clearly, golf is a central thread in their lives.
Of course, Woods' romantic history has been no stranger to the headlines. After his highly publicized divorce from Elin Nordegren, he was linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn and later Erica Herman. Herman's relationship with Woods ended in a dramatic breakup involving sexual harassment allegations and legal disputes over an NDA.
Despite his past challenges, Woods and Nordegren have maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship for their children, Charlie and Sam.
As the couple embarks on this new chapter, it seems love and golf are well-aligned for Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump.
