The rumored romance between golf pro Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump is rumor no more. Woods confirmed that he and the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. are an item by way of an Instagram post late Sunday night featuring two photos of the couple together.

In one image, they stand side by side in front of an ivy-covered wall, smiling. In the second, they wear sunglasses and cuddle in a hammock, Trump’s head on Woods’ chest.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” Woods wrote in his caption. “We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
Trump was married to the current president’s eldest son from 2005 to 2018, and Woods was previously married to Elin Nordegren from 2004 to 2010. Woods’ two children attend the same school as Trump’s daughter Kai, who has already committed to play golf at the University of Miami after she graduates high school, and has been spotted with her mom supporting Woods at a few golf-related events.
Vanessa’s former sister-in-law, Ivanka Trump, expressed her support in a comment on the post: “So happy for you both,” she wrote, adding little loved-up emojis around the comment.
Trump’s ex, Don Jr., is also reportedly “cool” with the newish couple, who apparently paired off sometime in late 2024. He is currently dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, now that his engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle is apparently no more. Anderson, too, slid into Woods’ comments to tell the world how she feels about that love that Woods declared was in the air.
“Beautiful couple. So happy for you both,” she wrote in a comment.
Rapper Snoop Dogg also chimed in, though his comment is as mystifying as Woods making a public post to more than 3 million followers asking for privacy: “Check ya d m 🐅 ⛳️” Snoop wrote, complete with emojis of a tiger and a golf hole.
