Tiger Woods is making it social media official.
The golfer made his first public comments about his romantic relationship with Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., weeks after news of the romance became public.

“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 to all those close to our hearts,” Woods posted across his social channels Sunday evening.
Vanessa also shared a similar post on her Instagram Story, in what appeared to be a coordinated release for the couple.
The Post had confirmed earlier this month that the pair had quietly started dating after a friendship developed into “something more,” a source had said.
The relationship had been described as “not too serious” but that it was “heading in that direction, though.”
“They’re taking it slow but I could see this becoming something really serious and permanent,” the source told The Post. “She’s not starstruck by him — she’d date him even if he weren’t famous. Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her.”
After the relationship came to light, Page Six had reported that Woods had been “hesitant” to go beyond a friendship with Vanessa initially due to the golfer’s close relationship with President Donald Trump.
Woods and Trump had been seen together a number of times in February, which included a round of golf with the president and Woods in Palm Beach, Florida, as well as during the LIV-PGA Tour merger talks.

“He friend-zoned her; they just talked about the kids and kept things pretty platonic and casual. Then, sure enough, feelings started developing on both sides,” a source told Page Six.
It remains unclear how they first met, but the Daily Mail reported that the two had been seeing one another since before Thanksgiving.
Vanessa’s oldest daughter Kai and Woods’ two kids, Charlie and Sam, all attend the Benjamin School in Palm Beach.
