Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend Rachel Uchitel plans to wed in a backyard ceremony in Palm Beach, Florida, on New Year’s Eve, with a touch of vintage New York style.
Sources tell Page Six that Uchitel will marry Dan Donovan, founder and managing partner of event management service Stratoscope, in the couple’s backyard in the tony enclave, with a celebration that combines Florida charm while paying homage to her family’s history as owners of the famed El Morocco.
We hear the theme is an homage to her grandparents, who owned a New York City hotspot in the 1960s. Opened in the 1930s, this supper club attracted celebrities and bold names such as Marilyn Monroe, Truman Capote, Errol Flynn, and Deanna Vreeland.
Officials say Uchitel’s big night will feature the club’s iconic white palm trees and zebra-striped banquettes.
Officials say the festival will include fireworks and celebrity guests.
On Monday, Uchitel and Donovan hosted a welcome drink at the chic Breakers Hotel with guests including “Jackass” star Bam Margera.
They hosted a rehearsal dinner on Tuesday, TMZ reports.
Uchitel and Donovan met through the dating app Bumble three years ago, but initially maintained a platonic relationship.
The “Miss Understood” podcaster has had a bumpy road to her happy ending.
Her first fiancé was killed in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. In the aftermath, she was famously photographed on the cover of the New York Post, crying as she held his photo.
The former nightclub manager later made headlines in 2009 when it was revealed that she was one of Woods’ mistresses during his marriage to golf icon Elin Nordegren.
Uchitel was previously married twice, to former baseball player Matt Hahn and childhood friend Steven Ehrenkranz.
“I feel like this has been a long and winding road since losing my fiancé in my 20s, not having much luck with men, and making bad choices along the way, but I finally have my own love story,” Uchitel exclusively told Page Six at the time of their engagement.
A source previously said Donovan is close to his daughter Wyatt, who helped him choose a ring.
