Vanessa Trump has opened up on the “emotional rollercoaster” she went through with her eldest daughter, Kai Trump, last summer when choosing which university she would be attending in 2026.

The U.S. President’s former daughter-in-law may have hit the headlines earlier this year when her relationship with Tiger Woods was officially announced, yet her recent admission on another memorable moment within the last 12 months has now also caught the attention.

Kai recently gave fans a glimpse into what her mom is really like behind the scenes in a TikTok video of the two sharing dinner together. Thankfully for the 47-year-old, Woods’ children are already fond of her, with their warmth towards their dad’s new girlfriend a mutual feeling – as U.S. President Donald Trump gave the romance his seal of approval.

Trump, however, has recently turned heads by revealing what it was like to help her daughter choose her university for next year. Last summer, the mother-daughter duo visited a number of colleges, before Kai ultimately chose to play golf at the University of Miami.

And while she is incredibly proud of the 18-year-old and will offer her full support, Woods’ new flame couldn’t help but admit that it certainly took a toll on her emotions in a recent video uploaded to Kai’s popular YouTube channel.

When asked by one fan to share one of their favorite moments together, Trump said: “We visited quite a few colleges this past summer, which was an emotional roller coaster, a little bit.

“Because obviously when your kid goes away you want them to pick the school that they want to go to, but inside I also want her to go not too far.”

Trump then added that, despite feeling anxious about her daughter leaving home, she remained quiet about the situation in order to allow the aspiring golfer to choose her own path. After Kai chose Miami, Trump admitted that she felt “lucky”.

Her daughter recently caught the eye at the 41st edition of the Nicklaus Junior Championship where she performed alongside Woods’ son, Charlie, although it was the latter who ended up by far the happier at the end of the two-round tournament.

The teenagers, bearing the weight of such huge names on their back, have emerged as two of the nation’s most promising golfers within their respective age categories, and put their skills to the test once more by teeing off in Florida at the end of last month.

After finishing even-par for the tournament with a final round 69 (2-under), Charlie placed sixth in a field of 122 boys golfers, finishing just four shots back of eventual winner Jeremy Hsu of Port St. Lucie, who won the tournament at 4-under.

Kai, meanwhile, finished tied for 21st out of 32 golfers, having struggled to a final round score of a 3-over 74, putting her 17-over for the tournament. That’s despite playing the front nine at 1-under – the best of any girls player in the final round.

Both teenagers currently attend the Benjamin School, a private school in Palm Beach, Florida, where Kai is varsity captain of the golf team. Like her, Charlie is also aspiring to become a pro on the greens, and recently secured his place in the U.S Junior Amateur Championship in July.

Golf legend Tiger Woods and former model Vanessa Trump are reportedly heading towards marriage, according to a new report that has stirred speculation across celebrity and sports circles.

The couple, who went public with their relationship in March 2025, are said to be “very serious,” with insiders suggesting that wedding plans may be on the horizon.

“She’s finally found happiness”

A source close to Vanessa told Page Six that “They’re very serious. Wedding bells serious.”
“She’s so happy! She’s finally found happiness. She’s found happiness for the first time in her life.”

The couple’s romance, which began quietly around Thanksgiving 2024, was confirmed when Woods posted a photo of them together on social media with the caption, “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.”

Living together and sharing family life

According to Radar Online, Vanessa has reportedly moved into Woods’ 40 million dollar estate in Jupiter Island, Florida. She has full access to the property, including security codes, and is said to be living there “essentially full-time.” “She had drawers and cubbyholes for all her personal items. She cooked meals there. So it was a no-brainer as far as Tiger’s concerned,” an insider shared.
Their children—Vanessa’s five from her previous marriage to Donald Trump Jr. and Woods’ two with ex-wife Elin Nordegren—attend the same elite school in Palm Beach, further intertwining their family lives.

“Tiger is all in”

Despite concerns from friends about Woods’ 1.3 billion dollar fortune and the absence of a prenuptial agreement, the golfer appears fully committed.

“Tiger is all in and saying this is a go,” the insider told Radar Online. Adding, “He seems certain this has marriage potential. He’s madly in love with Vanessa. Anyone can see it in his eyes.”

Presidential blessing

Even Donald Trump, Vanessa’s former father-in-law, has weighed in. In a March Oval Office meeting, he reportedly said, “I love Tiger and I love Vanessa. He and I have a very special, very good relationship.” Further adding, “He told me about it, and I said, ‘Tiger, that’s good, that’s good.’ I’m very happy for both. Just let them both be happy. They’re both great.”

A new chapter for both

If the couple does tie the knot, it would be the second marriage for both. Woods was previously married to Elin Nordegren from 2004 to 2010, while Vanessa divorced Donald Trump Jr. in 2018. Their relationship has reportedly received support from both families, with Vanessa’s daughter Kai Trump and Woods’ son Charlie Woods bonding over their shared passion for golf.

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are still going strong, but friends are reportedly noticing a change in the pro golfer.

The 49-year-old athlete and the former daughter-in-law of Donald Trump are “over the moon” in love with each other, according to an InTouch Weekly source, but that’s not the news that’s turning heads in Woods’ circles. It seems that he is happy to spend his hard-earned money on his girlfriend, something that he didn’t necessarily do in past relationships.

“Tiger is fully enmeshed in Vanessa’s world. He was just at the White House with her and was welcomed with open arms by everyone,” the insider added. “She has a very high-flying circle of friends, and he’s in with them too and planning to rent a massive super yacht this summer to cruise around the Mediterranean with Vanessa and a bunch of her friends.”

That sounds like a grand plan for the unexpected couple, but the golf legend can certainly afford it. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Woods is worth $800 million, thanks to his professional golf career and his 27-year endorsement with Nike, which ended in 2024. Even with his significant earnings, he wasn’t known for freely spending his money.

The InTouch Weekly source alleged that Woods “wants to impress” his girlfriend, so “he’s certainly enjoying himself” by spoiling her. The unlikely duo began dating in November 2024 “just before Thanksgiving,” per the Daily Mail. Woods and Trump’s children both attend the same elite private school in Palm Beach, Florida, so they often crossed paths. Plus, Trump’s eldest daughter Kai, 18, whom she shares with ex Donald Trump Jr., is a talented golfer who is committed to attending the University of Miami in 2025.

The relationship was confirmed by People in mid-March, and Woods and Trump made it Instagram official on March 23.

“Love is in the air, and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,” Woods wrote. “At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.”

That message made it clear that he’s all-in when it comes to his relationship with Trump, but he would appreciate it if fans backed out of his love life.

On June 30, 2025, Vanessa Trump, the girlfriend of golf legend Tiger Woods, shared a heartfelt Instagram video.

In it, she kept people wondering for a moment before explaining the unique reason behind her daughter’s name. The name “Kai” has a touching story linked to family and beloved memories. Vanessa’s words have now reached many who follow her story and Tiger Woods’s life together.

Vanessa explained:
“My grandfather’s name was Kai, and I always loved the name Kai. I was very close to my grandfather. He was like a father to me. And kai means ocean, and that’s one of my favorite places to go. So we didn’t know if it was a girl or a boy, but I said either way, it could go. My grandfather was a guy, obviously, and if it’s a girl, I’d name her Kai” .

She also noted that “Kai” means “ocean” in a language she cherishes, using it to connect her child to both family and nature. Vanessa posted the video from her home in Palm Beach, Florida, the same place where she lives with her five children from her marriage to Donald Trump Jr. .

Tiger Woods’s children, Sam Alexis Woods (17) and Charlie Woods (16), attend the same school and also play golf. The families have been seen together at events like the Genesis Invitational in Palm Beach, Florida, and the Nicklaus Junior Championship .

Vanessa honored her Danish roots and her love for the ocean by naming her daughter Kai, and through sharing this, she added a personal layer to her public life with Tiger Woods.
