Washington : In a revelation that has taken American media by storm, Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump, is reportedly in a relationship with golfing icon Tiger Woods, and the two are expected to tie the knot soon.
Vanessa, who was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, has largely stayed out of the limelight in recent years. However, her romance with Tiger Woods—first reported in March 2025—has now been confirmed, with both parties sharing their happiness publicly.
According to sources close to the couple, Vanessa and Woods began dating discreetly in 2024, but the relationship soon became public knowledge. The 47-year-old Vanessa, a former model and actress, was previously known for her brief role in the 2003 film Something’s Gotta Give and her appearance in an episode of The Apprentice, hosted by her then father-in-law Donald Trump.
Woods confirms relationship
In a heartfelt social media post shared on Monday, Woods confirmed the relationship:
“Love is in the air. Life feels better with you by my side. We look forward to this journey together. We kindly ask for privacy from those close to our hearts at this time.”
Vanessa, a mother of five, reportedly met Woods through mutual friends and bonded over shared life experiences and values.
Both partners have past high-profile relationships
Like Vanessa, Tiger Woods has experienced a turbulent personal life. He was married to Swedish model Elin Nordegren, with whom he shares two children. That marriage ended in 2010 following a highly publicized scandal. Since then, Woods has been linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn and most recently to Erica Herman, a relationship that ended in 2022 amid legal disputes.
Woods, who has remained largely private about his personal life, made headlines earlier this year after withdrawing from the Masters Tournament due to an Achilles tendon injury.
A Trump family connection
Interestingly, Tiger Woods shares a long-standing friendship with Donald Trump, who publicly expressed condolences after the passing of Woods’ mother earlier this year. Whether this new relationship will affect that dynamic remains to be seen.
As of now, neither Vanessa nor Woods has officially announced a wedding date, but sources indicate that the couple may be planning a private ceremony later this year. If true, this union brings together two of the most well-known names from the worlds of politics and sport.
