Former world number one golfer Tiger Woods confirmed he is dating Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the US President.

Tiger Woods went public with his relationship with Vanessa Trump on March 23, sharing several affectionate photos of the two on social media platforms.

Vanessa is the former daughter-in-law of US President Donald Trump. She married Donald Trump Jr. in 2005 and divorced in 2018. She still keeps the Trump surname and maintains a good relationship with her ex-husband’s family.

“I am so in love, my life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey together. At this time, we ask that everyone respect the privacy of those closest to us,” golf legend Tiger Woods wrote.

British media sources said Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, had been dating for at least a year.

Woods’ son, Charlie Axel Woods, born in 2009, and Vanessa’s daughter, Kai Trump, born in 2007, are both junior golfers. Kai plays for the University of Miami, while Charlie plays in a number of junior tournaments, often partnering with his father.

Woods was photographed with Kai at the Genesis Invitational. Vanessa and Kai also participated in a new TGL team golf tournament last month, founded by Woods and Rory McIlroy.

PageSix’s source said Trump Jr. “fully supports” his ex-wife’s relationship with Tiger Woods.

“Don Jr. knows his father respects Tiger Woods, so he is completely supportive. Don Jr. has also dated other people since the divorce. As long as Tiger treats Vanessa and the kids well, he is fine,” the source said. Trump Jr.’s representative has not confirmed the information.

Tiger Woods was married to Elin Nordegren for the first time, but divorced in 2010. Woods and Nordegren have appeared to be on good terms in recent years. They are raising two children together, Charlie and Sam Woods.
