Read Time:2 Minute, 31 Second

Golf legend Tiger Woods has officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., in a social media post that took the internet by storm. Woods, 49, announced X (formerly Twitter), sharing two photos of the couple and 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,” Woods wrote. He also asked for privacy for all those close to them.

This revelation comes after weeks of speculation in gossip outlets about the couple’s budding romance. Vanessa Trump, 47, was previously married to Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, for 12 years. The former couple, who divorced in 2018, share five children.

The relationship was further confirmed when Woods and Vanessa Trump were spotted together at Torrey Pines in San Diego. They were accompanied by Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, during the final round of the Genesis Invitational, where Woods serves as the tournament host. Reports suggest that Kai attends the Benjamin School, the same institution where Woods’ children, Sam and Charlie, are enrolled. This week, Kai and Charlie participated in a prestigious junior golf tournament by invitation, hinting at the families’ close ties.

Woods’ decision to make his relationship public was unexpected, as the 15-time major champion is known for keeping his personal life private. This announcement is reminiscent of his 2013 confirmation of his relationship with Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn, when the couple shared photos to deter paparazzi. At the time, Woods had stated that the move was aimed at protecting his children and reducing the value of paparazzi images.

The golfer’s personal life has frequently been in the spotlight. Woods was previously married to Swedish model Elin Nordegren, with whom he shares two children. Their marriage ended in 2010 following a highly publicized infidelity scandal. Since then, Woods has been linked to several high-profile relationships, including with Vonn and, more recently, Erica Herman. His relationship with Herman, which lasted for nearly seven years, ended in 2022 with legal disputes, though the lawsuits were later dropped.

Social media users reacted with amusement to Woods’ request for privacy after making a public announcement. Some joked about the irony of revealing such a high-profile relationship while simultaneously seeking discretion.

If you want privacy, don’t post the “love is in the air” nonsense and keep to yourself! Got it bro?
