After much speculation, Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump have confirmed that they're in a relationship.

In an Instagram post, Woods shared two photos of them together and included a statement asking fans for privacy regarding their dating life. "Love is in the air, and life is better with you by my side!" wrote Woods. "We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."

This is the first time Woods, 49, has commented on his relationship with Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife Vanessa, 47.

Who Is Vanessa Trump?

Vanessa was married to Donald Trump's son from 2005 to 2018. They welcomed five children together, including daughter Kai Trump, who plays golf at The Benjamin School in Florida, where Tiger's son Charlie Woods also plays. Tiger, meanwhile, was married to Elin Nordegren from 2004 to 2010 and welcomed two children together.

According to the source who broke the news of their relationship earlier this month, Tiger and Vanessa quietly started dating around Thanksgiving last year. Woods has been on friendly terms with the Trump family for years and played golf with the president at the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach following the death of his mother, Kultida Woods.
