Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump. The announcement came on March 23, 2025, through a heartfelt post on both Instagram and X, where Woods expressed his joy and excitement about their journey together. He shared a message that read, “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” alongside some photos of the couple.
Woods, 49, and Vanessa, who was previously married to Donald Trump Jr., have been the subject of speculation regarding their relationship for several months. In his post, Woods requested privacy for their families as they embark on this new chapter together.
The couple has been seen at various golf events, as their children are involved in the same junior golf competitions. Notably, Vanessa’s daughter, Kai Trump, is 17 and attends the same school in Florida as Woods’ children, Sam and Charlie. Kai is an aspiring golfer who plans to play at the University of Miami in 2026.
The announcement drew positive reactions from friends and family. Ivanka Trump expressed her happiness for the couple in the comments, while rapper Snoop Dogg chimed in with a playful request for Woods to "Check ya d m."
Woods, a five-time Masters champion, has two children with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. Their marriage ended in 2010 after a highly publicized scandal. He has also been linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn in the past.
In addition to his personal life, Woods has a notable history with the Trump family. In 2019, President Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, praising Woods as a symbol of American excellence. Just last month, Woods returned to the White House for a reception honoring the contributions of Black Americans to the country.
As Woods and Vanessa step into this new relationship, many are eager to see how their connection evolves, especially with their families intertwined through their children’s shared interests in golf.
