Looks like Donald Trump is showing big love for his ex-daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump and her new boo, legendary golfer Tiger Woods.
In a recent press convo inside the Oval Office, the president didn’t hold back his support. The moment comes after the couple made it social-media official last week—causing a wave of buzz online and off.
When asked about the surprise romance, Trump responded in full Donald fashion—bold, unfiltered, but surprisingly sweet. “I love Tiger and I love Vanessa,” he told reporters. “He and I have a very special, very good relationship with Tiger. I played golf with him a couple of times over the last month, and he’s a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete.”
Trump also made it clear that Woods gave him the heads-up personally: “He told me about it, and I said, ‘Tiger, that’s good, that’s good.’ I’m very happy for both. Just let them both be happy. Let them both be happy. They’re both great.”
Donald Trump Reflects on Vanessa and Don Jr.’s Past
Trump didn’t just shine a light on the present—he also spoke respectfully on Vanessa’s past with his oldest son, Donald Jr. During the press session, he acknowledged the years they shared together and the children they brought into the world.
“Vanessa and Don had a very good relationship. They have incredible children, five incredible children. All good athletes, all great students alike. Right? And, they broke up, you know, quite a while ago. And, which was to me very sad because I think they’re both great,” he shared.
That moment felt like a rare mix of vulnerability and old-school family values—something the Trump patriarch doesn’t always show in public. Despite the drama that often swirls around the family, he made it known that he holds Vanessa in high regard and seems to harbor no bad blood about the new relationship.
As for Don Jr., he’s been publicly quiet about his ex-wife’s new relationship, which could signal that the entire Trump circle is opting to keep things peaceful and private—something fans weren’t necessarily expecting.
Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump Go Public With Their Romance
The rumors started swirling after Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump went Instagram official on March 23. The post featured two cozy, sunlit photos of the new couple smiling and cuddled up—with Tiger holding Vanessa close. The caption? Straight to the point but heartfelt: “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,” Woods wrote.
He followed up with a respectful ask: “At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”
That caption alone was enough to send social media into a frenzy, especially considering both Vanessa and Tiger are typically low-key about their personal lives.
Tiger, 49, has had a highly public love life over the years. From his tabloid-fueled divorce to a handful of relationships since, this new chapter with Vanessa feels different. As one fan commented under the post, “This might be the most peaceful Tiger’s looked in years.”
Support from Trump Might Mean Less Family Drama
In a family known for its headlines, having Donald Trump speak positively about a new romance is almost a plot twist. But this time, it’s all love. From what we’ve seen and heard so far, the former president’s comments show a rare moment of unity and peace within the Trump clan.
While critics may continue to speculate on the timing, the motives, or the Instagram soft launch, what matters most is what Trump himself said: “Just let them both be happy.”
And that right there might be the energy this new couple needs—less noise, more support, and a shot at building something real. For now, fans are watching closely, rooting for Tiger and Vanessa, and waiting to see what’s next.
