After Tiger Woods publicly announced that he and Vanessa Trump are dating it marked a new chapter in the former model’s romantic history. Last Sunday, the golf icon and Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife confirmed their romance with a social media post.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together," Woods, 49, wrote alongside two pictures of the couple.
The 47-year-old has had a fascinating dating history. She has dated a famous gangster in her teens and almost has had relationships with a Hollywood A-lister and has also had a fling with a Saudi prince.
Before falling in love and having children with Donald Trump Jr., the son of US President Donald Trump, she dated Valentin Rivera, a member of the Latin Kings gang during her high school years.
A report by DailyMail said she supported him even though he was a criminal and ran errands for him. When he was jailed at Rikers Island, she also wrote love letters to him. Their relationship ended when she was 20.
Shortly after she was linked to actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
While their romance was never officially confirmed, reports suggest Vanessa and DiCaprio caused a stir in New York’s social scene in the late 1990s.
She was later romantically involved with Saudi Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud and the two lived together for three years, the newspaper said in a report.
Their relationship ended in 2001 after the 9/11 attacks, when Prince Khalid left the United States amid reports that his father had indirect ties to Al Qaeda.
In 2005, Vanessa married Donald Trump Jr. in a lavish ceremony at Mar-a-Lago. The couple had five children together before filing for an uncontested divorce in 2018. Since then, she has largely stayed out of the public eye when it comes to her personal life—until now.
Woods and Vanessa, both Florida residents, have reportedly been dating since Thanksgiving, according to sources. They live just 20 minutes apart in Palm Beach and were spotted together at a golf tournament last month. Their children—Vanessa’s eldest daughter Kai, 17, and Woods’ children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17—attend The Benjamin School.
Don Jr. is said to be “cool" with the romance, while Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, was amused by the news but ultimately unfazed.
