Tiger Woods Has Been ‘Quietly Dating’ Donald Trump Jr.’s Ex-Wife Vanessa Trump for ‘Months’: Report
Tiger Woods and Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, have reportedly been dating for a few months, according to multiple outlets.
A source close to the Trump family told People on Thursday, March 13, that the professional golfer, 49, has been “quietly dating” Vanessa, 47, for “several months.” The insider added that Donald Jr., 47, is “cool” with the relationship.
Meanwhile, multiple sources told The Daily Mail, which was the first to report the news, that Tiger and Vanessa “are an item” and have been together since Thanksgiving 2024. The outlet reported that the pair both live in Florida, about 20 minutes away from each other in Palm Beach, and were seen together at a golf tournament in February. Tiger’s and Vanessa’s kids also reportedly attend the same school.
“She comes to his place on Jupiter Island,” a source told the publication. “They’re not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week. They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together.”
The insider concluded, “They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway.”
While the rumored couple have yet to go public with their romance, Vanessa has reportedly hinted at the relationship by following Tiger’s personal Instagram account, his TGR Foundation page, the Tiger Woods Center’s page and multiple Tiger fan accounts in the last few months, according to Page Six. She has also “liked” several social media posts about the athlete.
Sources also told Page Six that Vanessa and Tiger are “not too serious” right now, but they’re “heading in that direction.”
“They have a lot in common. They’ve both gotten used to public scrutiny. They both know how to keep their private life private. They’re both parents,” the insider said, noting that they started out as friends and their relationship grew into something more.
“They’re a good match; they’re level-headed, they like to avoid drama, they share a lot of the same values,” the source continued, although they noted that Tiger “always tried to date girls who just weren’t right for him.”
Additionally, an insider said of Vanessa, “She’s not starstruck by him; she’d date him even if he weren’t famous. Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her. … We’ll see where it goes.”
Tiger was previously married to model Elin Nordegren from 2004 to 2010. The pair welcomed daughter Sam, 17, in 2007 and son Charlie, 16, in 2009. They split after the World Golf Hall of Fame inductee’s affair with mistress Rachel Uchitel was revealed.
Tiger later dated Lindsey Vonn from 2013 to 2015 and Erica Herman from 2017 to 2022. He and Erica, 41, became entangled in a legal battle over an NDA after their split, but she dropped the $30 million lawsuit in July 2023.
For her part, Vanessa married Donald Jr. in 2005. They welcomed five kids during their marriage: Kai, 17, Donald III, 16, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 10. The Something’s Gotta Give actress filed for divorce from Donald Jr. in March 2018.
