Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump have weathered the storm. Despite Woods' recent DUI arrest and subsequent stint in rehab, the couple is reportedly still going strong, according to a source who spoke to Page Six.
The 15-time major champion left the U.S. for Europe several weeks ago to seek treatment after being arrested in late March. In a statement posted to his social media, Woods acknowledged the gravity of the situation: “I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today. I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health.” He added that he was committed to returning “healthier, stronger, and more focused.”
Woods has since returned to Florida, signaling the end of his rehab program, as reported by his return after rehab. Many wondered how the arrest and treatment would affect his relationship with Trump, who has young children from her previous marriage. Speculation ran rampant about whether the couple would stay together or if Trump would distance herself from the controversy.
But according to an insider, the two are very much in love. “Vanessa and Tiger are in love, still serious, and happy to see each other,” the source said. The same source revealed that Trump is “eager to help him continue with his progress and move beyond any more public scandals — which they both dislike intensely.”
Balancing their busy lives has been key. “Vanessa is a busy mom, which for the most part does not get in the way of the overall vibe of her relationship with Tiger, [who is] also busy with his life, golf, charity, video game work projects and kids,” the source added. A second source noted that “each was glad to see the other, although they kept in touch while he was away.”
Both Woods and Trump have ex-spouses and share custody of their children, which has allowed them to carve out time for each other. “Both of them have responsibilities outside of their personal lives and that factors [into] how much time they can spend together. But each has an ex to share the kids with, so they have had enough time to keep the romance going,” the second source explained.
The relationship appears to have emerged stronger from the ordeal, with the couple focused on privacy and Woods' continued recovery. Woods still has an offer to captain the 2027 U.S. Ryder Cup team, a role that remains on the table despite his arrest. For now, though, his personal life seems to be in a good place.
