Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump: A New Relationship and Family Dynamics
Tiger Woods recently made headlines with the news that he is dating Vanessa Trump. Before the news got out, however, Woods reached out to his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, to inform her about the new relationship. According to the Daily Mail, the conversation took place toward the end of 2024 and was described as “awkward,” though still civil.
A source shared that while Nordegren’s initial reaction was surprise, especially when she learned the identity of Woods’ new partner, she quickly accepted it. “Her response at first was like ‘Seriously? A Trump? For real?’” the source revealed. However, Nordegren, who remarried in 2019, was said to be more amused than upset by the news.
Woods reportedly reached out to Nordegren not for her approval, but to ensure she was informed, particularly since his new relationship would involve their children, Sam (17) and Charlie (16). “They’re not the type to give each other their ‘blessing’ per se, but they keep each other in the loop with anyone who is going to spend any amount of time around the kids,” the source explained.
Although Woods and Trump have not made any public statements or gone Instagram official with their relationship, the news broke in mid-March, with sources confirming they have been quietly dating since around the Thanksgiving holiday. “Their friends know they are dating. The two were careful to keep their dating under wraps as they built up their relationship,” a source told Page Six on March 14.
So far, things seem to be progressing well for Woods and Trump as they navigate their new relationship while managing family dynamics.
