Golf icon Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his romantic relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr. and former daughter-in-law of current U.S. President Donald Trump, who began his presidency in January 2025.
Woods made the announcement public through his social media accounts, sharing intimate photographs of the couple together. In his heartfelt announcement, Woods expressed, “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’s previous marriage to Donald Trump Jr. began in November 2005 with a ceremony at Florida’s Mar-a-Lago club. The couple, who finalized their divorce in late 2018 following an uncontested filing earlier that year, share five children together. Their eldest daughter, 17-year-old Kai Trump, attends the same school as Woods’s children and has shown considerable talent in golf, with plans to play at the University of Miami starting in 2026.
Woods’s personal life has previously garnered significant media attention. His marriage to Swedish model Elin Nordegren ended in 2010 amid a widely publicized infidelity controversy. Since then, Woods has been in several notable relationships, including with Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn and more recently with Erica Herman, a relationship that concluded with legal complications that were subsequently resolved.
On the professional front, Woods recently disclosed that he underwent successful surgery after rupturing his left Achilles tendon during training at home. The 15-time major champion and 82-time PGA TOUR winner continues to navigate health challenges while maintaining his status as one of golf’s most celebrated figures.
