Kai Trump signals her approval of mother Vanessa's new relationship with golf legend Tiger Woods
President Donald Trump has a few interests in common with his eldest granddaughter, Kai Trump, including their shared love of the game of golf as well as an appreciation for and friendship with one of the game's most legendary players, Tiger Woods.
Woods recently confirmed on social media that the rumors that he was dating Vanessa Trump, Kai's mother, were true, and Kai signaled her approval of that relationship by liking Woods' post, according to celebrity gossip site Hola!
Separate reporting indicates that the burgeoning Tiger-Vanessa romance has also been met with approval from other members of the Trump family, including Vanessa's former sister-in-law, Ivanka, and even her ex-husband, Don Jr., with whom she had five children, of which Kai is the oldest.
Tiger confirms relationship with Vanessa
Undoubtedly in response to the speculative rumors that have been circulating for weeks and months, Tiger Woods shared in a Sunday Instagram post a couple of photos of himself with Vanessa Trump, including one of the pair posing together in front of an ivy-covered wall and another of them relaxing together in a hammock.
"Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!" Woods wrote to caption the post. "We look forward to our journey through life together."
"At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts," he added about their families and friends.
Kai, Ivanka, and Don Jr. also approve
Per Hola!, Kai Trump publicly revealed that she approved of and supported her mother Vanessa's new relationship with Woods by liking the post from the professional golf legend, but other reporting has shown that she is not alone in feeling that way.
The New York Post reported that Ivanka Trump not only liked Woods' post but also commented, "So happy for you both," along with a pair of smiling emojis surrounded by little hearts.
The outlet noted that Ivanka and Vanessa became good friends while they were sisters-in-law for more than a decade and have remained close ever since, with Ivanka previously heralding Vanessa as a "machine" and "Wonder Woman" for her apparent ability to effortlessly manage caring for several young children at the same time.
Interestingly enough, People magazine reported a few weeks ago that even Vanessa's ex-husband, Don Jr., who was married to her from 2005 until 2018, was "cool" with his ex-wife dating Woods, even as the rumored relationship was publicly unconfirmed at the time.
Kai golfs with Woods' sons
The Post further reported that, according to an inside source, Vanessa and Tiger have been friends for some time but began quietly dating late last year after that friendship developed into "something more," and though it was described as "not too serious" at this point, it was nonetheless "heading in that direction."
"They’re taking it slow, but I could see this becoming something really serious and permanent," the source added. "She’s not starstruck by him -- she’d date him even if he weren’t famous. Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her."
As for Kai Trump, USA Today reported that she is an aspiring golfer who's already committed to playing for the University of Miami's golf team next year, and has been seen along with her mother and Woods at a handful of major professional golf events in recent months.
Of note, Kai currently attends and golfs for the prestigious private academy The Benjamin School alongside Woods' two sons, Charlie and Sam
