(GoRealNewsNow.com) – Golf legend and icon Tiger Woods officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, President Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law, sharing photos together accompanied by a heartfelt message declaring “Love is in the air.”
See the tweet below.
This unexpected romantic connection brings together two prominent figures from America’s most celebrated family and the sports world.
Woods announced the news on his social media accounts, sharing pictures of himself with Vanessa Trump and a message expressing his happiness.
“Love is in the air, and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy to all those close to our hearts,” Woods wrote in his post.
The relationship reportedly began before Thanksgiving last year and was initially described as “not too serious.”
Sources indicate that the two families have known each other for some time, as Vanessa’s daughter attends the same school as Woods’ children in Palm Beach, Florida.
The golf icon and Vanessa were later spotted together at the Genesis Invitational golf tournament, which Woods hosted.

Vanessa Trump was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years before they divorced in 2018.
The couple has five children. During her time with the Trump family, Vanessa maintained a close friendship with Ivanka Trump, who has expressed support for the new relationship.
Ivanka commented positively on Woods’ announcement, writing, “So happy for you both! 🥰🥰” on the social media post.
Ivanka has spoken highly of Vanessa’s parenting abilities in the past, once saying, “My sister-in-law Vanessa is a machine. She can take all of [my children] and not even notice. She has five children and she’s Wonder Woman to me.”
Woods’ connection to the Trump family extends beyond his romantic relationship with Vanessa.
The golf superstar received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Donald Trump in 2019 and has played golf with the former president on multiple occasions.
During Trump’s presidency, Woods has also attended meetings at the White House regarding golf tournaments.
Moreover, Woods’ decision to publicly confirm the relationship mirrors his approach to past relationships, including his 2013 announcement with Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn.
At that time, Woods explained he wanted to limit the “stalkarazzi and all those sleazy websites that are out there following us,” a concern likely shared in his current relationship given the high-profile nature of both Woods and the Trump family.
The golf legend has faced some professional setbacks recently, announcing a ruptured left Achilles tendon that will affect his participation in the Masters and likely sideline him for the remainder of the year.
This injury comes as Woods has been working to return to competitive form following a serious car accident in 2021 that severely damaged his right leg.
Woods’ personal life has often attracted media attention. His marriage to Elin Nordegren ended in 2010 amid a highly publicized scandal.
His most recent relationship before Vanessa was with Erica Herman, which ended in October 2022 after a difficult split that included legal disputes.
As two individuals who understand life in the spotlight, Woods and Vanessa appear to navigate their new relationship cautiously while celebrating their connection.
Their joint request for privacy suggests they hope to build their relationship away from excessive media scrutiny, even as they acknowledge the public interest in their union.
