Vanessa Trump has publicly expressed her unwavering support for golfer Tiger Woods, who is currently undergoing treatment following a car accident and subsequent DUI arrest last month. Sources close to the couple have revealed that the model, 48, has been by Woods’ side as he works through the challenges stemming from the incident that occurred in late March near Jupiter Island, Florida.
The couple, who made their relationship official in March 2025, are reportedly maintaining a strong bond during this tumultuous time. An insider shared with PEOPLE that Woods, now aged 50, was in need of “intensive therapy” following his rollover crash. Vanessa has wholeheartedly endorsed this approach, recognising the necessity for private treatment to aid in his recovery.
“Tiger needed to do intensive therapy, and his girlfriend Vanessa has been in favour of it,” the source stated. They go on to emphasise that Vanessa’s support extends beyond mere encouragement; it stems from a profound love and commitment to Woods’ well-being. “She loves him and knows that private treatment was necessary,” the source added.
Despite the difficulties posed by Woods’ legal troubles, which include his plea of not guilty to DUI charges, Vanessa has remained steadfast. The insider noted that their relationship has endured challenges, with Vanessa having moments of concern for Woods’ well-being. Nonetheless, she has always been there for him, showcasing their resilience as a couple.
Another source illustrated the extent of their connection, explaining that their communication has remained consistent throughout this ordeal. “They communicate while he is away and both know it’s important to do so,” the insider revealed, indicating that both are committed to staying connected as Woods navigates his recovery.
Importantly, Trump appears optimistic about Woods’ future. “She feels positive about his recovery,” the source said, acknowledging that although there are challenges ahead, her hopeful outlook serves to bolster Woods’ spirits during this tough period.
Their relationship blossomed after Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr., and Woods reportedly kept their romance private for several months prior to going public. Vanessa, who was married to Trump Jr. from 2005 until their split in 2018, is also a devoted mother to five children. Woods, for his part, has two children from his previous marriage to Elin Nordegren.
Woods’ legal situation unfolded after he was found in possession of two hydrocodone pills at the accident scene, a discovery made by deputies from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. While he passed a breathalyser test, he allegedly refused to undergo a urinalysis that could have detected prescription medications and other substances, according to the authorities.
After the accident, Woods took to social media to announce his intention to seek treatment, illustrating a commitment to addressing the issues he faces. “I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” he stated in a post on X on 31 March. “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritise my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”
As Woods continues his journey to recovery, the support from Vanessa Trump highlights the potential for healing and growth in their relationship. Both of them remain committed to their families and to each other, adding a layer of complexity and solidarity as they navigate the obstacles ahead. While the road may be long, their bond appears to be a source of strength during these challenging times.
