Vanessa Trump

Vanessa Trump was married to Donald Trump Jr. from November 2005 until their divorce in 2018. They have five children together: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. Vanessa and Donald Jr. have continued to co-parent their children amicably after their divorce.

Vanessa has been in a relationship with professional golfer Tiger Woods since 2025. Their relationship became public in March 2025, when Woods shared photographs of them on social media. Their connection also reflects their children's shared interest in golf, as Vanessa's daughter Kai attended the same Florida school as Woods's children, Sam and Charlie.

In May 2026, Vanessa announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was working with her medical team on a treatment plan. She said she was staying focused and hopeful with the support of her family and children.

Vanessa grew up in New York City and attended The Dwight School before studying at Marymount Manhattan College. She began modeling in the 1990s and was signed to Wilhelmina Models. Her mother, Bonnie Kay Haydon, ran the Kay Models modeling agency, and Vanessa became part of New York's fashion scene in the early 2000s.

Her screen appearances include a scene in the romantic comedy Something's Gotta Give (2003), an episode of Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It (2010), and an episode of The Apprentice (2011).

In the fall of 2003, Vanessa and her sister Veronika opened the New York City nightclub Sessa. The venture formed part of Vanessa's involvement in the city's fashion and social scene.

From 2010 to 2013, she released a handbag line called La Poshett. Her work as a model, actress, and fashion entrepreneur preceded the period in which she became widely known through her marriage into the Trump family.
