Tiger Woods has made his relationship with Donald Trump Jr’s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, Instagram official.
Over the weekend (23 March), the 49-year-old professional golfer shared a series of snaps cosied up with Vanessa, 47, to his 3.5 million followers on the social media platform and made a simple request to his fans after confirming the once-rumoured romance.
The first pic showed the couple standing with their arms round each other's waists as they smiled at the camera while the second photo saw the pair laying down on an outside lounge bed with Vanessa snuggling up to Tiger on his chest.

He captioned the post: "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together."
It was in the second part of the caption that Tiger made a request to fans, adding: "At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."
Vanessa and her ex-husband, Donald Jr, the eldest child of the 47th US President Donald Trump and his first wife Ivana Trump, were wed for 12 years before she filed for divorce back in 2018.
The former married couple share five children together; 17-year-old daughter Kai and 16-year-old son Donald III as well as Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.
Tiger also has two of his own children from a previous relationship, sharing son Charlie, 16, and daughter Sam, 17, with his ex-wife Elin Nordegren who he split from in 2010 - six years after tying the knot in 2004.
A source close to both Tiger and Vanessa previously told People that they connected over their shared passion for their respective kids' golf careers.
"Their kids are going places in golf and both very disciplined about the sport. They have that in common," the insider said.
Another source close to Vanessa told the same outlet that her new relationship with someone of Tiger's celebrity status is unsurprising, stating: "Vanessa has always gone for guys who are either well known or have something big going for them."
The insider continued: "She is comfortable with that, but she's not a woman who wants to be in the limelight. She is not a shrinking violet but is discreet and smart and a good mother.
"That has come first in her life."
According to People, Vanessa's ex-husband, Donald Jr, is 'cool with' her romance with the golf star.
