Vanessa Trump, 48, has announced her diagnosis of breast cancer. The mother of five shared the news on social media Wednesday, expressing her determination to remain positive. 'While this isn't news anyone expects, I'm working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan,' she wrote on Instagram, noting that she had a medical procedure earlier this week. 'I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me.'
Family Support and Public Reaction
Vanessa was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 13 years before their separation in 2018. They share five children: daughters Kai and Chloe, and sons Donald III, Tristan, and Spencer. Her former sister-in-law Ivanka Trump commented, 'Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama.' Vanessa's eldest daughter, Kai, called her mother the 'strongest person ever.' The post received an outpouring of prayers and supportive messages from fans and loved ones.
Relationship with Tiger Woods
Vanessa has been in a relationship with golf star Tiger Woods since 2024, going public in February 2025. Woods, 50, posted on Instagram last March, 'Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together.' Despite Woods' recent DUI arrest and subsequent treatment, a source told People that the couple is 'still very much in love' and were happy to reunite after his six-week inpatient program in Switzerland. Woods has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor DUI charges.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. is engaged to socialite Bettina Anderson, whom he has been dating since 2024. Vanessa concluded her statement by thanking supporters and requesting privacy to focus on her health and recovery.
