Vanessa Trump was married to Donald Trump Jr. from 2005 until their divorce in 2018, and they share five children. Her daughter, Kai, 17, is an aspiring golfer set to join the University of Miami’s golf team in 2026. Kai attends the same school as Woods’s children, Sam and Charlie, and recently competed alongside Charlie in an invitational tournament. ​

Previously wed to Elin Nordegren, Woods has two children with her. 2010 saw their marriage dissolve over an adultery scandal. Woods has been connected to numerous well-publicized romances since then, notably with skier Lindsey Vonn and, more lately, Erica Herman. According to reports, Woods and Vanessa Trump started seeing each other privately before Thanksgiving. Their connection changed from friendship when their kids went to the same Palm Beach, Florida school. Though Woods is close to President Donald Trump, he and Vanessa started a love connection; both families know about their partnership.

Vanessa Kay Pergolizzi was born in Manhattan, New York on December 18, 1977, Vanessa Trump is a former model and actor. She appeared in TV series including “The Apprentice” and films including “Something’s Gotta Give.” She also ventured entrepreneurially, starting a brand of handbags. The couple’s relationship has attracted a lot of media coverage as fans found the mix surprising. Reminiscent of his 2013 statement with Lindsey Vonn aimed at lowering paparazzi intrusion, Woods, known for his reclusive disposition, has decided to disclose this element of his personal life publicly.

As Woods continues his recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon, which has sidelined him from the Masters and likely the remainder of the year, he and Vanessa Trump are focusing on their blended family and navigating their new relationship. ​
