Tiger Woods’ New Romance With Vanessa Trump Reportedly Sparks Explosive Tension With Ex-Wife Elin Nordegren
Golf icon Tiger Woods may be head over heels in love with Vanessa Trump, but behind the scenes, insiders say his whirlwind romance is creating a storm of drama with his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren.
The pair, who divorced in 2010 after Tiger’s infamous cheating scandal shattered their marriage, had managed to keep things cordial for the sake of their two 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, Sam, 18, and Charlie, 16. Sources even reveal that Tiger, 49, still leans on Elin, 45, for advice and support — a sign of the unusual but friendly bond they’ve maintained over the years.
But everything changed when the 15-time major champ began dating Vanessa, 47, the glamorous ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., last November. According to insiders, Tiger is “madly in love” and already talking marriage after moving Vanessa and her five kids into his Florida mansion.
And that’s where the drama starts.
“Elin has her reservations, and she isn’t hiding them,” one source dished. “From the very beginning, she thought this was a bizarre match. Now, with things moving so fast, she sees it as a giant red flag.”
The Swedish-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 former model — who has since reinvented herself as a mental health counselor — reportedly believes Tiger is repeating the same destructive patterns that doomed his past relationships.
“She’s watching this happen with alarm,” another insider said. “She still cares for him, despite everything, and the last thing she wants is to see Tiger crash and burn again. She thinks he needs to slow down — but he’s not listening.”
The tension has apparently pushed Elin to step back, with sources saying she’s keeping her distance rather than watch him plunge headfirst into what she fears could be another disaster.
“It’s distressing for her,” the source added. “She doesn’t want to control his life, but she also doesn’t want to pick up the pieces if this blows up. And the truth is, she doesn’t believe this relationship is built to last.”
