Tiger Woods took the unusual step of confirming his romance with Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law on recently in a brief post on social media.
Golf superstar Tiger renowned for jealously guarding his private life over the years confirmed in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that he is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side,” Tiger wrote in a caption above two photos of himself relaxing with Vanessa.

“At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
The post comes after weeks of tabloid rumours about the couple.
Vanessa, who divorced Donald Trump Jr. in 2018 after a 13-year marriage, also posted a picture of her and Tiger together on her Instagram account in what appeared to be a co-ordinated announcement.
Recent’s announcement would once have been unthinkable for Tiger, who famously named his luxury yacht “Privacy”.
Tiger’s private life was laid bare during the 2009 sex scandal that upended his career and led to the implosion of his six-year marriage to Elin Nordegren, the mother of his two children.
Elin and Tiger separated amid revelations of the golf star’s serial infidelity, with reports suggesting he had slept with as many as 120 women during his marriage.
