After Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump went Instagram official a few days ago, Donald Trump weighed in on what he thinks of the couple’s romance.
U.S. President Donald Trump recently addressed the budding romance between his former daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump and golf star Tiger Woods. Seated in the White House Oval Office, Donald shared what he thinks of their relationship after a reporter asked the politician about it. His comments follow Ivanka Trump’s statement about the couple’s romance.

Reflecting on the union, Donald didn’t shy away from offering his full support. “Well, I love Tiger and I love Vanessa,” he began, warmly acknowledging both individuals.
He also took a moment to revisit Vanessa’s past with his son, Donald Trump Jr., expressing that their marriage had been deeply impacted by external pressures. “I happen to think the relationship was hurt very badly by the witch hunt that went on,” he said, referencing the political scrutiny surrounding his son at the time.

Still, he held no bitterness over how things unfolded. “They broke up, you know, quite a while ago, which was to me, very sad ’cause I think they’re both great,” he added. Donald also shone a spotlight on the five “incredible” kids Vanessa and Donald Jr. share.
As for Tiger, Donald described him as “a fantastic guy and a fantastic athlete,” revealing that the golf icon had personally told him about the budding relationship months ago.

He recalled his reaction, “Tiger, that’s good, that’s good.” His sentiment was simple and unshakable, as he expressed, “Let ’em both be happy. Let ’em both be happy. They’re both great.”
Donald’s remarks come mere days after Tiger himself quietly made headlines with an Instagram post shared on March 24, 2025 — a heartfelt relationship confirmation that brought his romance with Vanessa into the public eye.
In one photo Tiger shared of him and his love, the couple appears deeply at ease, lounging together outdoors on a hammock. Vanessa, clad in a white tank top, rests her head affectionately on Tiger’s shoulder while he leans back in a hoodie and baseball cap, both shaded by mirrored sunglasses.
