The legendary golfer Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., have been secretly dating since late 2024, according to sources close to the couple cited by Page Six.
Although the relationship is not yet fully serious, it seems to be heading in that direction.
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump: A bond based on shared experiences
Both have grown up under the intense gaze of the public eye and know how to handle media pressure. In addition to their fame, Woods, 49, and Trump, 47, share the role of parents, which has strengthened their connection.
Sources indicate that they started as friends before the relationship evolved into something more intimate.
“They are a sensible couple, not interested in drama. They share similar values and understand each other well,” a source revealed. It is also noted that Woods has had difficulties over the years in finding a truly compatible partner.
A growing relationship
Since Thanksgiving Day 2024, the couple has been seen on multiple occasions, although they have kept their romance low-key. It is said that Vanessa is not interested in Woods' fame, which he finds particularly attractive. “She would be with him even if he weren’t famous,” a close source commented.
It is not clear how they met, but there are multiple connections between them. Both reside in Florida, and their children attend the same school in Palm Beach.
Vanessa’s oldest daughter, Kai Trump, is a passionate golfer who competes in tournaments and has shared the course with her grandfather, former President Donald Trump. This shared hobby could have been the bridge that united the couple.
Vanessa, formerly Vanessa Kay Haydon, is a former model who was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 13 years, from whom she divorced in 2018. Although she has kept a low profile since then, she was seen at the Republican Convention last July that nominated Donald Trump as the presidential candidate.
Discreet encounters and future plans
The relationship remains discreet, with Vanessa visiting Woods' house on Jupiter Island a few nights a week. Although they do not live together, their close proximity has made these encounters easier.
For now, the couple prefers to take things slowly, but the bond could become more serious in the future.
