Golf legend Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, putting an end to weeks of speculation. Woods, who has a longstanding connection to the Trump family—having played golf with Donald Trump on multiple occasions and receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from him in 2019—made the announcement via social media. Both Woods and Vanessa reside in Florida, and their children attend the same school, a factor that may have brought them closer.

Woods shared intimate photos of his new girlfriend, including a romantic image with Vanessa on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle. In the caption, he wrote, “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, who boasts over 65,000 social media followers, echoed the sentiment by sharing the post on her Instagram story.

Vanessa Trump, a former model and actress, was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 until their divorce in 2018. Together, they have five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. Since the divorce, Vanessa has kept a low public profile, dedicating her time to her family and personal pursuits.

Reports indicate that Woods and Vanessa have been together since Thanksgiving 2024, with their relationship gaining attention in late 2024. Adding to their connection, their children—Woods’ son Charlie and Vanessa’s daughter Kai—attend the same school and have competed in golf tournaments together. This shared family dynamic may have sparked or strengthened their bond.

Woods’ announcement has stirred significant interest, particularly given his massive social media following—6.4 million on X and 3.5 million on Instagram. Fans and observers have noted the irony of his plea for privacy, given the high-profile nature of the reveal. Despite the public platform, the couple has emphasized their desire for discretion as they move forward.

The confirmation of Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump’s relationship marks a fresh start for both. As they embark on this journey together, they have called for respect and privacy for themselves and their loved ones. The pairing of the golf icon and the former model has already captured widespread attention, blending sports, celebrity, and a touch of political lineage into one of the year’s most talked-about stories.
