Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump have gone public with their relationship by posting two pictures on social media, declaring ‘love is in the air’.
It comes 10 days after DailyMail.com exclusively broke the news that the golf icon was dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife.
Two pictures of the happy couple were posted by Woods on Sunday night alongside a message declaring: ‘Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together.’
‘At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.’
Among the first people to offer their congratulations was Ivanka Trump, formerly Vanessa’s sister-in-law.
She commented on the post ‘So happy for you both’ while adding a number of emojis with love hearts.

DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that the golf icon was dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife
Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, who both live in Florida, have been together since Thanksgiving, DailyMail.com confirmed with four sources.
They live 20 minutes apart in the wealthy southern Florida enclave of Palm Beach and were spotted together at a golf tournament last month.
Vanessa’s eldest daughter Kai, 17, and Woods’ children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, all attend the $38,595-a-year The Benjamin School together.
Woods and Vanessa were absent from the junior golf tournament in South Carolina that both Kai and Charlie played in this week.
Don Jr. did not attend the event, and although sources claimed he is accepting of his ex-wife’s new relationship, he was not present. Elin Nordegren, Woods’s ex-wife, was also noticeably absent from the gathering.
It comes after DailyMail.com revealed that Woods called Elin to tell her the news over fears that knowledge of their tryst would leak.
Shortly after they began their relationship, the 45-year-old received a call from Don Jr. The conversation, described as brief and awkward, reportedly lasted only a few minutes according to a source who spoke to DailyMail.com.
‘Tiger and Elin are supportive of each other’, they said.
‘Her response at first was like “Seriously? A Trump? For real?”,’ the insider says. ‘She was more amused than anything. But she really quickly just accepted it.
‘They’re not the type to give each other their “blessing” per se, but they keep each other in the loop with anyone who is going to spend any amount of time around the kids.’

Other members of the Trump family, including all five of Vanessa and Don Jr.’s children, were already aware they are an item, one source said.
A source said: ‘Tiger and Vanessa have been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving.
‘She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They’re not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week.
‘They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together. They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway.’
The former model and mother of five filed for an uncontested divorce from Don Jr. on March 15, 2018 in New York.
Since they officially split she has not had a high-profile relationship.
Don Jr. has remained a close adviser to his father and helped take over much of the business.
The two families appear to have become increasingly close.
Last month, at the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in California, they were pictured arriving together.
Kai, who committed to playing golf at the University of Miami next year, wore an outfit from Woods’ clothing line.

In February, Vanessa took Kai to watch a round of the TGL, the golf league created by Woods and Rory McIlroy.
Meanwhile, President Trump met up with Woods for a round of golf last month.
Woods recently suffered a major setback in his plan to return to golf when he revealed he had ruptured his Achilles tendon.
The 15-time major winner was preparing for his latest comeback at home in Florida when he felt a ‘sharp pain’ in his left heel.
He underwent surgery on March 11 and is expected to make a full recovery, but has been ruled out of the Masters next month.
