Tiger Woods, the legendary American golfer, has publicly confirmed his romantic relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump. On his social media platform X, which boasts over 6.4 million followers, the 49-year-old Woods shared his feelings: “Love is in the air. Life is more beautiful with you by my side! We are looking forward to a journey together in life… At this time, we wish to have privacy for all our loved ones.” Vanessa, 47, echoed this sentiment by sharing a similar post on her Instagram account.
Vanessa was married to Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of Donald Trump, from 2005 to 2018, and they share five children, including Kai, 17, who attends the University of Miami. Notably, Kai studies at the same institution as Woods’ children. Since her divorce, Vanessa has not publicly dated anyone until now
