Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods officially announced his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., in a post shared on his Instagram account Sunday (March 23).
"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 to all those close to our hearts," Woods wrote in a post with two photos of himself and Trump together.
Earlier this month, a source confirmed to Page Six that Woods and Trump were reportedly secretly dating and that their relationship is "not too serious" but is "heading in that direction."
“They have a lot in common. They’ve both gotten used to public scrutiny. They both know how to keep their private life private. They’re both parents,” the source said.
Woods and Trump were reportedly friends before their relationship grew, according to the insider.
“They’re a good match; they’re level-headed, they like to avoid drama, they share a lot of the same values,” the source said before claiming that Woods had “always tried to date girls who just weren’t right for him.”
The source claimed that the two initially began dating around Thanksgiving 2024 and are "taking it slow" but claimed they could see it becoming "really serious and permanent."
“She’s not starstruck my him; she’d date him even if he weren’t famous. Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her … We’ll see where it goes," the source added.
Vanessa Trump was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018 and the former couple shares five children including their oldest daughter, Kai, who is committed to the University of Miami (FL) on a golf scholarship. Woods shares two children, daughter Sam, 17, and son Charlie, 16, with his ex-wife, former Swedish model Elin Nordegren.
