Vanessa Trump has publicly praised boyfriend Tiger Woods for being her 'strength' following her recent breast cancer diagnosis. The 48-year-old, who is the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., revealed on Wednesday night that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is 'working closely' with doctors on a treatment plan.
The mother of five made the announcement on Instagram, adding that she had undergone a 'procedure' earlier in the week. Woods was still in rehab in Switzerland after his DUI arrest in March when his girlfriend was diagnosed, but he has clearly been a pillar of support since returning to Florida last week.
On Friday, Vanessa posted a picture of the couple from when they went public with their relationship in March 2025. She captioned the post: 'My strength through it all! Family and the closest people to me,' accompanied by a prayer emoji and love heart emoji. Vanessa also shared the same message with a photo of her five children from her marriage to Don Jr.
Private Cancer Agony
Earlier this week, a source told The Daily Mail that Vanessa will resent Woods deep down for being in rehab when she received her diagnosis. Woods, whom she has been dating for just over a year, checked into rehab after being charged with driving under the influence following a car crash in Jupiter, Florida, on March 27. Police reportedly found prescription opioid pills in his possession, which he had been using to manage chronic injury pain. Woods has pleaded not guilty to DUI.
Despite giving him an 'ultimatum' to seek professional help, Vanessa will be hurt that the golf legend was not there in her hour of need, an insider claimed.
In her Instagram post on Wednesday, Vanessa expressed gratitude to her doctors for performing the procedure. She added that she is 'staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids and those closest to me.'
The insider said: 'She's got too much to live for, she's going to fight like hell. She's made that clear to everyone. Don't pity her. Don't treat her like she's going to break. She's going to fight and she's going to beat this.'
