Vanessa Trump found herself back in the public eye once again after her relationship with pro golfer Tiger Woods became public knowledge. The couple began dating sometime in early 2025, and the athlete confirmed their romance in an Instagram post that March.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” Tiger captioned his post, which featured a shot of him and Vanessa. “We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
Below, Hollywood Life has everything you need to know about Tiger and Vanessa’s relationship so far.
Who Is Vanessa Trump?
Vanessa is best known as Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife. The former spouses were married from 2005 until 2018, when they finalized their divorce. At the time, Don Jr. and Vanessa released a joint public statement, which read, “We are incredibly lucky to have five amazing children and are committed to raising them together. Our kids and their happiness will always be our first priority,” according to People.
Don Jr. and Vanessa share their five kids — Kai, Donald John III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe — together.
Shortly after their split, Don Jr.’s relationship with his now-ex-fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle, made headlines. They split by mid-2024, when he was spotted with his new girlfriend, Bettina Anderson.

An insider previously close to the Trumps also told People that Don Jr. was “cool” with his ex-wife’s new romance.
Daily Mail was the first to report the news of their romance in early March. Another insider told the outlet that Tiger and Vanessa started seeing each other “since just before Thanksgiving” in 2024.
“She comes to his place on Jupiter Island [Florida]. They’re not living together,” the source added. “She comes over maybe a few nights a week. ‘They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together. They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway.”
It’s unclear how Tiger’s and Vanessa’s respective children feel about their reported romance. However, Vanessa’s daughter Kai reportedly enjoys playing golf, as does her grandfather, Donald Trump Sr. So, it’s likely that the Trumps have a lot in common with Tiger.
What Is Tiger Woods’ Net Worth?
The PGA celebrity has a sky-high net worth of $1.3 billion as of 2025, according to Forbes.
