Tiger Woods’ children “like” Vanessa Trump, with their warmth towards their dad’s new girlfriend a mutual feeling – as U.S. President Donald Trump gave the romance his seal of approval.
The loved-up pair went public with their relationship back in March when 15-time major championships victor Tiger took to social media to put any speculation to bed. The 49-year-old – who is currently nursing himself back to fitness after undergoing surgery on his Achilles – previously was married to Elin Nordegren.
Their relationship ended in divorce back in 2010 after Woods admitted to infidelity but he has found love again in the form of the former wife of Donald Trump Jr. Tiger and Vanessa both have children with their ex-spouses, with their kids both having attended The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

While it is not known when and how they first crossed paths, it has been claimed that Trump has made a strong impression on Woods’ children. A source discussed her relationship with the golfer’s daughter Sam, 17, and son Charlie, 15, saying to the Daily Mail: “She likes the kids; they like her.
It was also revealed that the five-time Masters champion also discussed his new romance with ex-wife Elin, giving her a courtesy call as they continue to co-parent their children together. The insider continued: “So there was really no reason for any drama with Elin. it was more of a call so she didn’t learn about it in the news.”

“Tiger knew it was going to get out eventually so he had to make the phone call to Elin before his love life ended up in the newspapers again,” they explained, as they discussed Woods’ love for his new partner. “He’s made this call before about other women – but never like this.”
That said, the source did contend that Elin’s first reaction was one of surprise, not least due to Vanessa’s previous marriage to the son of the current U.S. president.
They added: “Her response at first was like, ‘Seriously? A Trump? For real?’ She was more amused than anything. But she really quickly just accepted it.”

Revealing that he and Vanessa had embarked on a relationship earlier in the year, Woods previously said on social media: “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.”
Meanwhile, President Trump also gave his assent to their romance as he revealed his admiration for both parties. The White House incumbent clearly retained a liking for his son’s ex-wife despite their split, as he revealed promisingly: “I love Tiger and I love Vanessa.

“He and I have a very special, very good relationship with Tiger. I played golf with him a couple of times over the last month, and he’s a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete.
“He told me about it, and I said, ‘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.”
