Tiger Woods has reportedly been 'secretly dating' Donald Trump Jr's ex wife
Love is said to be in the air for sport star Tiger Woods and political socialite Vanessa Trump.
Yep, that's right - the latter is the ex-wife of Donald Trump's eldest son, conveniently named Donald Trump Jr.
According to several US news outlets, 49-year-old professional golfer Woods and 47-year-old former model Trump have been friends for some time, but recently opted to take their relationship to the next level.
For those in need of a reminder, Woods was previously married to Swedish fashion star Elin Nordegren, with whom he shares two children.

Following a high-profile cheating scandal on the sportsman's part, however, they called time on their relationship in 2010, and the golfer went on to subsequently date a stream of A-list ladies - including Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn and stylist Kristin Smith.
In 2017, he also became romantically involved with Erica Herman, the manager of one of his flagship restaurants, but they part ways in 2023 before becoming embroiled in a heated legal feud. Mother-of-five Vanessa, however, hasn't dated anyone in the public eye since she and 'Don' Trump officially separated in 2018.
Page Six claimed this week, however, that the single duo have gotten close in recent weeks.
A source close to the alleged new couple told the publication that, whilst things are 'not too serious' yet between them, their romance is 'heading in that direction'.
The insider supposedly added: "They have a lot in common. They’ve both gotten used to public scrutiny."
They continued of Woods and Trump: "They’re a good match; they’re level-headed, they like to avoid drama, they share a lot of the same values."
And touching on the golf champ's dating history, the source explained that he has 'always tried to date girls who just weren’t right for him'.
The Daily Mail also caught wind of the romance this week, claiming that a separate insider alleged that Trump has been left 'starstruck' by her new beau.
"She’d date him even if he weren’t famous," the news outlet added. "Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her … We’ll see where it goes."
It hasn't yet been determined how the pair met, though they both live in Florida - reportedly only 20 minutes apart.
Vanessa's eldest daughter Kai Trump is also an avid golfer, and goes to the same school as Woods' two children, Sam, 17, and Charlie, 16.
The Mail explained of the pair: "She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They’re not living together.
"She comes over and spends the night and leaves in the morning. Maybe a few nights a week."
The insider continued: "They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together.
"They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway."
