Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump turned heads, including those of their inner circle, when they went public with their romance in March.
While on the mend from an Achilles injury that’s kept him off the PGA Tour greens, Woods took to social media to share his new love with Vanessa earlier this year. “Love is in the air, and life is better with you by my side!” Woods exclaimed on X and Instagram.
The golf legend also expressed eagerness for their shared future, asking for privacy for their loved ones, alongside a pair of romantic snapshots. Vanessa, previously wed to Donald Trump Jr., and Woods, who has friendly ties with the Trumps and recently hit the links with Donald Sr., are navigating new territory together.

Following the couple’s reveal, both the Trump and Woods clans weighed in on the budding relationship between Vanessa and Tiger.
Donald Trump Sr. himself disclosed at the end of March that the golf icon had reached out to him regarding his new connection with Vanessa, and the former President endorsed the match. “I love Tiger and I love Vanessa,” Trump professed at the White House.
“Tiger actually called me a few months ago. I have a very special relationship with Tiger. He’s a fantastic guy. I said Tiger that’s good. I’m very happy for both… They (Donald Jr. and Vanessa) had a great relationship.
“I happen to think the relationship with my son was hurt very badly with the witch hunt. ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’. All the c— they put Don through. Vanessa and Don have a great relationship. Five great children. They broke up quite a while ago, which to me was very sad.”

Donald Trump Jr. appears to be taking his ex-wife Vanessa’s new relationship with golf legend Tiger Woods in stride, according to a report from PEOPLE stating that he’s “cool” with her new romantic involvement.
The couple shares five children, among whom is Kai Trump, an up-and-coming golfer herself. Both she and Charlie Woods, Tiger’s son, participated in the highly respected junior golf tournament at Sage Valley known as the Junior Invitational.
Woods’ children, including his daughter Sam – who is into soccer – seem content with their father’s partner, with sources telling the Daily Mail that “She likes the kids; they like her.”
Elin Nordegren, the mother of Sam and Charlie, parted ways with the golf legend in 2010. However, they seem to maintain a cordial relationship for the sake of their children.

An insider provided some insight into Nordegren’s reaction to her ex-husband’s new love interest, stating: “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. He’s made this call before about other women – but never like this…
“Her response at first was like, ‘Seriously? A Trump? For real?’ She was more amused than anything. But she really quickly just accepted it.”
