Vanessa Trump made a promise to her children that she would not pursue another relationship until they grew up after splitting with Donald Trump Jr., the son of President Trump, in 2018.
Donald Jr. and Vanessa were married for 13 years, sharing five children, including Kai, before they split and remained on cordial terms. Vanessa was single for a while, not known to have been in a relationship until this March, when she was first seen with Tiger Woods.
The two confirmed their relationship soon after, while it had emerged that they had actually been together since November 2024, looking to keep out of the public eye. Woods’ ex-wife has already had her say on Vanessa after the extremely controversial and scandalous end to their marriage.

It’s the first relationship that Vanessa has been in since breaking up with Donald Jr. after actively not pursuing love until she felt her kids were of the right age.
A source told the Daily Mail: “When her youngest Chloe turned 10, that’s when she opened her heart to find someone new.”
Vanessa introduced her children to Woods, with them said to have “warmed” to the golfing legend. Kai has since played the sport with him.

The source added: “None of them objected to her dating, and in fact, they all love Tiger. That’s why it got so serious, so fast – her kids love him, his kids love her.”
What’s more, Vanessa and Woods appear to have the support of her former father-in-law, President Trump.
Trump was quoted as saying: “Tiger, that’s good, that’s good. I’m very happy for both. Just let them both be happy. Let them both be happy. They’re both great.”
The couple has still managed to maintain a relatively low profile, with Woods sidelined through injury after tearing his Achilles tendon, not set to return until 2026.

Kai has made headlines herself with her social media content and as a budding golf star, being set to begin her career at the University of Miami.
Her grandfather has made his feelings on her choice of college.
Meanwhile, Tiger’s son, Charlie, has impressed in junior golf tournaments, playing at a high level while just missing out on a place at the Junior Ryder Cup next month.
Woods has been supporting his son at tournaments while playing rounds with Kai.
When Trump isn’t busy playing golf with Kai, he’s sending shockwaves around the world. A lip reader revealed the chilling 3-word promise that Donald whispered into Vladimir Putin’s ear at their Alaska summit.
