Tiger Woods, 49, has reportedly found love again, this time with Vanessa Trump, 47, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr. According to a source close to the Trump family, the two have been quietly dating for several months. The insider also revealed that Donald Trump Jr. is “cool” with the relationship. The news was first reported by The Daily Mail.
Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. were married for 12 years before she filed for divorce in 2018. Since then, Vanessa has focused on raising her five children, including her daughter Kai Trump, 17, who is an accomplished golfer. In August, Kai committed to play for the University of Miami’s golf team, as reported by Golfweek. Interestingly, Woods, Vanessa, and Kai were spotted together at a golf tournament in Florida on February 16, sparking rumors of a budding relationship.
The pair’s connection seems to go beyond their shared ties to Florida. Vanessa’s daughter Kai’s passion for golf has likely brought her closer to Woods, who is one of the sport’s most iconic figures. On February 20, Woods was honored by former President Donald Trump at a White House reception celebrating Black History Month, further highlighting his ties to the Trump family.
The confirmation of Woods’ new relationship comes amid a challenging period for the golf legend. Just two days before the news broke, Woods revealed on social media that he had ruptured his Achilles tendon. He explained that the injury occurred while he was training at home, writing, “As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured.” He underwent a minimally invasive repair surgery performed by Dr. Charlton Stucken in West Palm Beach, Florida.
This injury adds to what has already been a difficult start to 2025 for Woods. On February 4, his mother, Kultida Woods, passed away at the age of 81. Woods shared a heartfelt tribute to her on social media, describing her as a “force of nature” and his “biggest fan and greatest supporter.” He wrote, “Without her, none of my personal achievements would have been possible. She was loved by so many, but especially by her two grandchildren, Sam and Charlie.”
As Woods navigates these personal challenges, his new relationship with Vanessa Trump has become a topic of interest. While both have remained private about their romance, their shared experiences and connections suggest a strong bond. Fans will undoubtedly be watching to see how this relationship unfolds in the months ahead.
