Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., did not address the arrest of her boyfriend Tiger Woods, who was charged with driving under the influence after a rollover crash in Florida, on social media this weekend.
Vanessa Trump, who has five children with the president’s son, reshared a snap of her 18-year-old daughter, golfer Kai Trump, posing with tennis coach Jason Stacy and fellow golfer Allan Kournikova at the Miami Open tennis tournament.
She also posted a clip of her daughter discussing how her mother introduced her to golf before resharing a photo of her daughter and 13-year-old son, Spencer Trump, alongside women’s tennis star Aryna Sabalenka holding her trophy from her big win in the Miami Open final.
On Friday, Woods was charged with DUI, property damage and refusing to take a urine test after he rolled his Land Rover onto its side in a crash involving a truck pulling a trailer near his Jupiter Island, Florida, home. Neither Woods nor the truck driver were injured, per officials.
The crash has left fans concerned for Woods’ well-being and sidelined talk over whether he’ll compete in the Masters, which was already an unlikely move as he looked to get in shape for the major tournament in recent weeks.
Woods and the president’s former daughter-in-law have been dating for over one year. Their relationship got the seal of approval from President Donald Trump, who declared that he was “very happy” for them both.
Vanessa Trump has been “very supportive” of her boyfriend’s golf career, a source close to the couple told People magazine on Monday, though she sometimes “has her hands full” while managing her and her children’s lives.
“She is happy with him and any issues they have are not about her. It’s dealing with his frustrations about playing great golf and his pain that at some times is really confining,” the source said.
In the doubtful case that Woods plays in the Masters, the source said Trump would back her boyfriend’s decision.
“She does all she can but some of it is out of her hands,” the source said.

Before Friday, Woods was arrested for DUI back in 2017 when police found him asleep at the wheel of his car, which was damaged and had a running engine.
He said in a statement at the time that he took a mix of prescription medication that led to an “unexpected reaction” and denied that alcohol was a factor in the episode. He would later plead guilty to reckless driving.
In 2021, he suffered multiple injuries in a high-speed, near-fatal crash near Los Angeles.
He underwent subsequent surgeries for his injuries. His play has impacted in the years since.
