Tiger Woods Confirms Relationship with Vanessa Trump
Golf icon Tiger Woods has publicly acknowledged his romantic involvement with Vanessa Trump, former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump.
Announcement on Social Media
Woods shared the news on Sunday via a post on X, formerly Twitter. Addressing his 6.4 million followers, he stated, “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together.” He also requested privacy for those close to them.
Vanessa Trump’s Background
Vanessa Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018. The former couple has five children, including 17-year-old Kai, who is expected to join the golf program at the University of Miami in 2026. Kai is also a student at the same educational institution as Woods’ children, Sam and Charlie. Notably, Kai and Charlie recently participated in the same invitational golf tournament.
Relationship Speculation and Public Confirmation
Rumors regarding a relationship between Woods and Vanessa Trump had circulated in gossip columns for several weeks. This announcement follows Woods’ recent disclosure of a ruptured Achilles tendon, which will prevent his participation in the Masters Tournament.
The motivation behind Woods’ decision to publicly confirm the relationship, given his typically guarded personal life, remains unclear. The social media announcement is reminiscent of his 2013 disclosure of his relationship with Lindsey Vonn through similar channels.

He also suggested that proactively releasing photos would diminish the value of paparazzi images.
Woods’ children, Sam and Charlie, are from his marriage to Elin Nordegren, which ended in divorce in 2010 following revelations of extramarital affairs.
Prior to Vanessa Trump, Woods’ most recent public relationship was with Erica Herman, lasting approximately seven years until October 2022. Their separation involved legal disputes, which were eventually dismissed.
