In a turn of events that has blended the worlds of sports and politics, Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his romantic relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump. The couple made their relationship public with a splash on social media, sharing intimate photos and a heartwarming message on March 24, 2025.
The Announcement
In the social media post, Woods expressed his joy with the caption, 'Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together.' It's a rare move for Woods, who typically keeps his personal life close to his chest.
Vanessa, aged 47, and Woods, now 49, are said to have started their relationship several months ago. They've been frequently shuttling between their homes in Palm Beach, Florida, a fact that's not gone unnoticed by the public. The pairing marked a new chapter for Vanessa after her amicable divorce in 2018 from Donald Trump Jr., with whom she shares five children.
A New Chapter
Interestingly, the families of Woods and Vanessa have an educational connection. Both Woods' children and Vanessa's eldest daughter, Kai, attend the same school, which has facilitated a blend of familial and social interactions. The connection is as much built on shared educational environments as it is on their personal relationship interests.
President Donald Trump weighed in with supportive words, expressing happiness for the couple and labeling both as 'great individuals.' Ivanka Trump shared her own well wishes, backing the relationship publicly, which underlines the family's acceptance of this new union.
This relationship announcement is notable as it aligns Vanessa, who has remained tied to the Trump family even after her divorce, closer with her former father-in-law’s social circle. Despite the societal and political expectations, it appears both families are embracing the relationship.
For Woods, who had previously maintained a private approach to his relationships, this pairing seems a strategic move of taking control of media narratives. It echoes the similar approach he took during his relationship with Lindsey Vonn, keeping the details on his own terms.
The intermingling of the sports legend’s life with the Trump family's political spotlight is sure to keep people talking. Observers are keenly noting the convergence of worlds – sports, politics, and family dynamics are in the mix. Where will this new chapter take them? Only time will tell.
