Seeing your former flame move on with someone else is never easy - especially if that someone if a huge-name sporting star.
Such is the case for Donald Trump Jr., whose ex-wife Vanessa this week went public with new beau Tiger Woods this weekend after mass speculation regarding their relationship.
Apparently, however, Trump Jr. gave a pretty surprising reaction when the new romance was confirmed on social media on Saturday, issuing an unexpected, one-word response to the revelation.
For those in need of a reminder, 47-year-old businessman Trump Jr. - the eldest child of President Trump - had been married to Vanessa, also 47, for 12 years when they called time on their relationship in 2018.

The former couple also share five children together, including 17-year-old daughter Kai, 16-year-old son Donald III, and the youngest trio - Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe.
Neither Trump Jr. nor former model Vanessa have since dated anyone else in the public eye since their break-up - until this week, that is, when the latter shared a series of loved-up snaps with professional golfer Tiger Woods.
"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!" the 49-year-old captioned the photos.
"We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts."
And while one might have expected the news to come as quite the blow to Vanessa's ex-husband, apparently, Trump Jr. is 'cool' with her new relationship.
Yep, that's all he's said on the matter - according to PEOPLE Magazine, who reportedly got a tip from a source close to the Trump family.
Such is also said to be the case with Vanessa's former father-in-law, 78-year-old Republican leader Donald Trump.
According to Page Six, the US President couldn't be happier, and has been a fan of sportsman Woods for sometime.
"[President] Trump knows about him dating Vanessa and is said to approve," another insider supposedly told the publication.
"Trump and Tiger are tight, and Tiger got the medal of freedom from him in 2019. Tiger speaks privately about liking Trump, and what he’s done to promote golf."
The source continued: "Tiger was just at the White House during a Black History Month event. He wore his medal to the event."
Ivanka Trump - Trump Jr.'s sister and Vanessa's ex-sister-in-law - also seems pleased for the new couple, having shared a comment on Woods' social media upload.
"So happy for you both," she wrote, alongside a stream of love-heart emojis.
