Tiger Woods has hard launched his relationship with Vanessa Trump.
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, March 23, to confirm his romance with Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, the professional golfer, 49, gushed about his new girlfriend. “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” Woods wrote alongside a carousel of images that captured the affectionate pair.
The first image showed Woods and Vanessa, 47, posed next to each other in matching white shirts and smiles on their faces, while the second snap showed Woods lying on an outdoor sofa with Vanessa laying beside him, her head resting on his chest and her right arm wrapped over the athlete’s shoulder.
“We look forward to our journey through life together,” Woods continued in the carousel’s caption. “At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
Tiger Woods Is Reportedly Dating Donald Trump Jr.’s Ex-Wife Vanessa Trump
Vanessa, who filed for divorce from Donald Jr., 47, in March 2018 after 12 years of marriage, confirmed the happy news via her own Instagram account. Taking to her Instagram Stories about 15 minutes after Woods’ Instagram post went live, Vanessa shared the same posed smiling snap that Woods had shared, tagging her boyfriend.
Dating reports first surfaced earlier this month when the Daily Mail claimed that Woods and Vanessa, who both reside in Florida, have been together since Thanksgiving 2024. On March 13, People reported that the pair had been “quietly dating” for “several months.”
The Daily Mail noted that Woods’ and Vanessa’s children reportedly attend the same school. Woods is father to two children, daughter, Sam, 17, and son, Charlie, 16, whom he shares with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, while Vanessa is mother to five children, Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe, born in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014, respectively, whom she shares with Donald Jr..
Woods has been involved in various high-profile relationships since becoming a pro athlete in 1996. He split from Nordegren in 2010 after an alleged affair with Rachel Uchitel.
Us Weekly confirmed in February 2013 that Woods was dating Lindsey Vonn after meeting the alpine ski racer at a charity event the year prior. The pair were an item for three years before calling it quits in May 2015.
Woods’ most recent relationship came in 2017 when he was linked to former restaurant manager Erica Herman.
For Vanessa’s part, she married Donald Jr. in 2005 after dating him from 2003. When she split from Donald Jr., a source exclusively told Us at the time that the pair’s relationship grew rocky amid President Donald Trump embarking on his first election campaign. “Vanessa is very close to her family and very private and does not like all this attention on her family,” the insider alleged in March 2018. “They’ve been unhappy for a while.”
