Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, through a heartfelt Instagram post.
The golf legend shared two photos of the couple, accompanied by the caption: “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.”
This confirmation comes just 10 days after the Daily Mail reported that Woods and Vanessa are dating. The two live only 20 minutes apart in Palm Beach, Florida, and were seen together last month. Vanessa was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018 and has three children with him, while Woods has two children from his previous marriage to Elin Nordegren.
Interestingly, Vanessa’s eldest daughter, Kai (17), and Woods’ children, Charlie (16) and Sam (17), attend the same prestigious school, The Benjamin School, which costs $38,595 per year. Despite their children’s involvement in a junior golf tournament in South Carolina this week, neither Woods nor Vanessa attended. Reports suggest that Donald Trump Jr. is “fine” with the new relationship.

Woods, who was married to Elin Nordegren from 2004 to 2010, has had several high-profile relationships since their divorce, including with skier Lindsey Vonn and restaurant manager Erica Herman. His relationship with Herman ended in a messy split, with Herman filing a lawsuit against Woods alleging sexual harassment, though she later dropped the case.
This new chapter in Woods’ life has generated considerable public interest, with fans and media closely monitoring the developments.
