Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods: A Future Together After Cancer Battle

Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods are reportedly looking toward a shared future, with their relationship deepening after Trump's successful battle with breast cancer. A source close to the couple told Page Six that they are "very serious about each other and absolutely see a future together," adding that marriage has been discussed.

The past year, described as "difficult" by an insider, has brought the couple closer as they supported each other through personal challenges. "Going through difficult times together has brought them closer and shown them that they can count on one another," the source stated. "It’s one thing to enjoy the good times together, but they’ve also seen how the other person handles things when life gets difficult."

The source further indicated that Vanessa, 48, feels "very safe and supported" by the golf legend, 50, and that their relationship is "stronger than ever."

While an engagement may not be imminent, the couple reportedly spends significant free time together and has integrated their families. "Their families have blended really naturally. Kai [Trump] absolutely adores Woods and Trump gets along great with his kids, too," the insider shared. "They genuinely enjoy spending time together as a family."

This update follows Vanessa's recent announcement that she is cancer-free, six months after her breast cancer diagnosis in April. She shared the news in a video posted to her daughter Kai's Instagram account, expressing relief that her latest test results were clear.

Woods, who supported Trump throughout her health battle, was reportedly overjoyed by the news. "Tiger was obviously thrilled and relieved when Vanessa got the news that she was cancer-free," the source said. "He’s been by her side throughout everything and it’s been an incredibly happy moment for both of them and their families. They’ve been celebrating privately and are just really grateful to be on the other side of it."

Vanessa publicly revealed her diagnosis in May, stating she was working with her medical team on a treatment plan. In June, she shared that she had undergone surgery and was preparing for the next phase of treatment.

Woods had previously demonstrated his support by briefly returning from a rehabilitation program in Switzerland to be with Trump and attend Kai's high school graduation in May. The support has been mutual; in September, Vanessa accompanied Woods to a Florida courthouse for his plea deal regarding a March DUI arrest, which was reduced to reckless driving.

Woods confirmed his relationship with Trump in March 2025, shortly after reports surfaced that they were secretly dating. He posted on X (formerly Twitter), "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 himself and those close to them.

Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, and Tiger Woods have been a couple since at least March 2025, when their relationship was publicly confirmed.
