‘Love is in the air’: Social media erupts as Tiger Woods confirms romance with Vanessa Trump

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump: Golf legend Tiger Woods has publicly confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.

ending weeks of speculation. The 15-time major champion shared two intimate photos on his X account, where he has about 6.4 million followers, accompanied by a romantic message.

The photos offer a rare glimpse into Woods’ personal life, which he typically guards fiercely. One image shows the couple posing together, while another captures them relaxing in a hammock, with Vanessa’s arm draped across his chest as he gazes upward.

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump: How the Relationship Developed?

Rumors about Woods and Vanessa Trump began circulating after they were spotted together at Torrey Pines in San Diego during the Genesis Invitational, where Woods served as tournament host. Vanessa was accompanied by her daughter, Kai Trump, who attends the same school as Woods’ children, Sam and Charlie.

The connection between the families deepened when Charlie Woods and Kai Trump recently competed together in a high-profile junior golf tournament. Vanessa, who was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years and shares five children with him, has been a subject of tabloid speculation in recent weeks.

The announcement comes just weeks after Woods revealed on March 11 that he suffered a ruptured left Achilles tendon, forcing him to withdraw from the Masters and likely sidelining him for the rest of the year. The timing of his relationship reveal is notable, given his usual preference for privacy.

This isn’t the first time Woods has publicly confirmed a romance. In 2013, he and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn posted photos together to preempt paparazzi speculation. At the time, Woods explained, “We wanted to limit the ‘stalkarazzi’ and all those sleazy websites that are out there following us,” citing concerns for his children’s safety and the devaluation of unauthorized photos.

Past Relationships and Divorce

Woods was previously married to Elin Nordegren, with whom he shares two children. Their marriage ended in 2010 after his multiple infidelities were exposed. His only other confirmed relationship since then was with Erica Herman, which lasted seven years before a messy breakup in October 2022. Herman initially filed lawsuits against Woods and the trust controlling his Florida estate but later dropped the cases.

With this new chapter, Woods appears to be embracing a fresh start both personally and romantically while balancing his public life with his desire for privacy. Fans and media alike will be watching closely as this high-profile relationship unfolds.
