Golf legend Tiger Woods has confirmed his romantic relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. The couple went public with their relationship in a heartfelt Instagram post, where Woods declared, “Love is in the air, and life is better with you by my side!”
Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, had been rumored to be dating for months before making their relationship official. Sources suggest the two had been seeing each other since before Thanksgiving but kept things private. They live just 20 minutes apart in Palm Beach, Florida, and share common family connections—Woods’ children, Charlie and Sam, attend the same elite school as Vanessa’s daughter, Kai.
The couple was recently spotted together at the Genesis Invitational 2025 in California, where Vanessa’s daughter Kai was seen wearing apparel from Woods’ clothing line. They were also seen at various events, fueling speculation about their growing closeness.
Vanessa Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years before their divorce in 2018. She shares five children with him. Woods, a five-time Masters champion, was formerly married to Elin Nordegren from 2004 to 2010.
The golfer has long maintained ties with the Trump family, having played golf with former President Donald Trump on multiple occasions. Woods was recently honored at a Black History Month reception at the White House and was seen golfing with Trump at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.
Sources close to the couple say their relationship is built on mutual understanding and a shared ability to handle public scrutiny. “They’re a good match; they’re level-headed, they like to avoid drama, and they share a lot of the same values,” an insider revealed.
As Woods and Vanessa embark on their journey together, they have requested privacy, stating that their focus remains on their families and personal lives.
