Last week, golf star Tiger Woods finally addressed the rumour that had been everyone’s lips, confirming that he is, indeed, dating Vanessa Trump.

Mum-of-five Vanessa, 47, was previously married to Donald Trump Jr, while Tiger, 49, has two kids who he shares with ex-wife, Elin Nordegren.

The pair went public with their relationship with a sweet Instagram post, which Tiger captioned: "Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together."

He added: "At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."

It was accompanied by a photo of them smiling to the camera.

President Donald Trump has since officially given his blessing for his former daughter-in-law's new love, having told reporters in the Oval office: “I love Tiger and I love Vanessa."

He added: "I'm very happy for both. Let them both be happy,"

But while Donald is delighted for the duo, there’s one thing about the relationship Vanessa had with his son that he’s not ready to forget – why they actually broke up.

“I happen to think the relationship with my son was hurt very badly by the witch hunt [about] Russia, Russia, Russia and all the c**p they put Don through,” he said.

Donald Jr and Vanessa divorced in 2018 after 13 years as husband and wife, saying in a joint statement the following year: "We finalized our agreement at the end of last year. We are incredibly lucky to have five amazing children and are committed to raising them together. Our kids and their happiness will always be our first priority.”

The president continued: “Vanessa and Don had a very good relationship. They have five incredible children. All great athletes, all good students. They broke up quite a while ago, which, to me, was very sad because I think they're both great.”

Of course, he knew about Vanessa’s new love interest long before it was confirmed by the couple.

“Tiger actually called me a few months ago,” Donald explained as he told press the moment he found out.

Thankfully, the news went down well.

He continued: “I have a special, very good relationship with Tiger. I played golf with him a couple of times over the past month and he's a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete.

“He told me about it and I said, ‘Tiger, that's good.’”
