Vanessa Trump, mother of five and former wife of Donald Trump Jr., has revealed that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. In a personal statement, she shared that she is working closely with her medical team on a treatment plan following an undisclosed procedure this week.
Vanessa Trump's Health Announcement
“I want to share a personal health update. I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. While this isn’t news anyone expects, I’m working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan,” she said. “I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids and those closest to me. Thank you for your kindness and support, it truly means more than I can express.”
Well-wishes have poured in from family and friends. Ivanka Trump commented on the post: “Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you, mama.” Her daughter, Kai Trump, shared a photo on Instagram with the caption: “Strongest person I know. Love you.”
Relationship with Tiger Woods Under Scrutiny
Vanessa has been dating legendary golfer Tiger Woods since March last year. However, their relationship has faced challenges after Woods was recently arrested for a DUI following a car crash in Florida. A source close to the couple told The Daily Mail that they held “crunch talks” after his release from jail.
“She’s not happy at all,” the source said. “She’s both disappointed and a little bit p***ed, if I’m being honest. It’s a definite red flag and she told him that he’s going to get this sorted out, and that she’s going to require that. He has to get things under control, or she’s not going to stick around.”
“He’s very apologetic, from what I’ve heard. [He] wants to fix this. He’s embarrassed, he’s mortified at all this… and this is really humiliating for it to happen again. And Vanessa is embarrassed too. All her friends are like, ‘girl, what the hell?'”
Family Background
Vanessa was married to Donald Trump Jr. for 12 years, from 2005 to 2018. They have five children together: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. Trump Jr., who may run to succeed his father in 2028, has not publicly commented on Vanessa’s new relationship, but a source told People he was “cool” with it.
After the divorce, Trump Jr. had a long-term relationship and became engaged to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is now the US Ambassador to Greece. He is currently dating West Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.
Kai, Vanessa and Trump Jr.’s 17-year-old daughter, attends the same school as Woods’ children, Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17. Both Kai and Charlie are aspiring golfers with hopes of turning professional.
