AceShowbiz - On Sunday, March 23, pro golfer Tiger Woods confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.. He shared two cozy photos on Instagram and captioned them with heartfelt sentiments.
"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together," he wrote while also asking for privacy for their loved ones, "At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."
The confirmation comes after news broke out that the couple had been dating quietly for several months. Woods and Vanessa have been seen together at various golf events over the past several months, often because their children participate in the same junior golf competitions.
Vanessa Trump, 47, was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years before divorcing in 2018. The former couple share daughter Kai, 17, and son Donald III, 16. Meanwhile, Woods, 49, has two children - son Charlie, 16, and daughter Sam, 17 - with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, from whom he split in 2010.
Just last week, both Kai and Charlie took part in the Junior Invitational in South Carolina. In February, Woods supported Vanessa and Kai at the Genesis Invitational in San Diego, California. Kai is noted to be a top junior golfer in Florida with a commitment to play for the University of Miami next year.
According to sources, Donald Trump Jr. is fine with Vanessa's new relationship. Don Jr. is currently dating Bettina Anderson after calling off his four-year engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Woods has a close tie with the Trump. He was honored at the White House by Vanessa's former father-in-law, President Donald Trump, during a reception celebrating Black History Month. Like Don Jr, the President was also supportive of the couple.
A source close to Woods and Vanessa has revealed that they bonded over their children's golfing careers and shared dedication to the sport. "Their kids are going places in golf and both very disciplined about the sport. They have that in common," the insider stated.
Another source close to Vanessa suggested the pairing isn't surprising given Vanessa's past relationships, but emphasized that she is discrete and prioritizes being a good mother.
