Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump are reportedly “still very much in love” after the pro golfer’s recent drunk driving accident.
A source told People on Sunday that the couple was “pleased to see each other” after Woods returned to his home in Jupiter, Florida, on Wednesday after completing a six-week inpatient treatment program in Switzerland.
“They kept in touch while he was gone,” another source said. “We both have responsibilities outside of our personal lives, so that affects how much time we can spend together.”
A second source said the pair had children of their own with their ex-husbands and had “plenty of time to continue their romance”.
Woods, 50, is the father of daughter Sam Alexis, 18, and son Charlie, 17, with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, while Trump, 48, has five children with ex-husband Donald Trump Jr.: Kai (19), Donald (17), Tristan (14), Spencer (13), and Chloe (11).
The first source said that following Woods’ drunk-driving accident and rehabilitation, Trump is “eager to help Mr. Woods continue to progress and overcome any further public scandal, which they both fervently dislike.”
However, the source also noted that while President Trump has been “very supportive and positive” towards the famous athlete, she has a fulfilling life outside of their relationship.
“Vanessa is a busy mom, and that hardly interferes with the overall vibe of her relationship with Tiger. Tiger is busy with life, golf, philanthropy, video game work, and his kids,” the source explained.
One person familiar with the matter said Woods and Trump’s shared love of golf helped them get through “difficult times,” including Woods’ recent drunk-driving incident.
A source told People that Woods is “taking this trip seriously and is focused on continuing his recovery and closing this chapter.”
On March 27, Woods was arrested and charged with drunk driving after being involved in a rollover accident on Jupiter Island, Florida.
At the scene, he was caught with pills in his pocket and failed several breathalyzer tests.
The athlete, who has a long history of car accidents, appeared in court on March 31 and pleaded not guilty.
That same day, Woods released a statement acknowledging that he would undergo treatment.
“This is what I need to do to prioritize my health and work towards a lasting recovery,” he wrote.
Woods added: “I am committed to taking the time necessary to return to a healthier, stronger and more focused place, both personally and professionally.”
