Ivanka Trump gives her blessing to ex-sister-in-law and Tiger Woods
Several weeks ago, word started to get out that professional golfer Tiger Woods and Donald Trump Jr.’s ex were involved in a romantic relationship.
With Donald Trump and Woods being friends, people were curious how the family would react, and Ivanka Trump has broken the ice on that front.
It’s Been Confirmed
Rumors have been swirling for weeks, so Tiger Woods decided to put this to bed, so to speak.
This week, Woods went on social media to profess his love for Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., with whom she shares two children, Kai and Donnie III.
In the coming out message, Tiger stated, "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."
Tiger is now being criticized for posting the relationship if he wanted to keep it private, but I disagree with that narrative. This, to me, is Tiger halting the gossip hounds from bothering the couple about the relationship, nothing more.
How Tiger Got Caught
Tiger generally keeps his private life outside of the gossip rags after the disastrous end to his first marriage. But Tiger dating a Trump is a big deal, with one insider stating, “He knew it would be a huge story when it came out and he didn’t exactly love it. But obviously Tiger dating a Trump is always going to make headlines, which is exactly what he wanted to avoid.”
Kai and Charlie Woods reportedly attend the same school, and both are highly sought-after recruits in the NCAA, so this appears to have started as a friendship between two golf parents that turned into a little something more.
Woods and Trump had managed to keep this fairly quiet, all things considered, but then pictures surfaced of Kai walking into a tournament with Tiger, and in the background, Vanessa could clearly be seen.
At this point, Woods had no choice but to come out to confirm or deny, or the gossip hounds would never leave him alone.
Ivanka Approves
Vanessa and Donald Jr. had an amicable split, and still spend a lot of holidays together with the family for the sake of the children. Vanessa has always put a smile on her face, even with Donnie was walking around with another woman on his arm.
Donald Trump still speaks quite well of his former daughter-in-law, and the rest of the family appears to still like her, which was proven when Ivanka was the first to break the family silence regarding Vanessa’s new love interest.
After Tiger made his post, Ivanka commented, "So happy for you both!" Again, not surprising considering her past comments about Vanessa. When she was still married to Jr., Ivanka had stated, "She can be taking care of them all simultaneously, each pulling on her and have direct meaningful connections with each of them at one time. It’s remarkable.”
I am a huge Tiger fan, not so much a Donnie Jr. fan, so I wish Tiger the best of luck, and I hope to see him back on tour winning again, if he can ever manage to get through this string of injuries. What I am really looking forward to, however, is the Easter Brunch photos of the Trump family to see if Tiger and Vanessa are now included.
