Tiger Woods has publicly acknowledged his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr., by sharing two photos on social media with the caption, “Love is in the air.”
The couple was recently spotted together at Torrey Pines in San Diego, where Vanessa attended the Genesis Invitational with her daughter, Kai, while Woods, as the tournament host, presented the trophy.
Kai Trump attends the Benjamin School alongside Woods’ children, Sam and Charlie. She and Charlie also participated in a prestigious junior golf tournament this week.
In his social media post, Woods expressed his happiness, saying, “Love is in the air, and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together.” He also requested privacy for those close to them.
One of the shared photos features the couple posing together, while another captures them relaxing in a hammock, with Vanessa’s arm draped over Woods as he gazes into the sky.
Rumors about their relationship had circulated for weeks in celebrity news outlets. Vanessa was previously married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years, and they share five children.
Woods recently announced on March 11 that he had ruptured his left Achilles tendon, forcing him to withdraw from the Masters and possibly sidelining him for the rest of the year.
It remains unclear why Woods, who is typically very private about his personal life, chose to confirm the relationship publicly. This move is similar to 2013 when he and Lindsey Vonn shared photos together to confirm their relationship. At the time, Woods explained that doing so helped reduce media harassment and prevented paparazzi from profiting off their private moments.
