It’s a busy week for Vanessa Trump.
Fresh from Mother’s Day, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., with whom she has five children — Kai Madison Trump, Donald Trump III, Spencer Trump, Tristan Trump and Chloe Trump — has a birthday in the family and high school graduation for the daughter of her famous boyfriend, Tiger Woods.
Here’s what we know about Vanessa Trump, her relationship with Tiger Woods and his children, and a little bit about her firstborn daughter, Kai Trump, whose 18th birthday is today, Monday, May 12, 2025.

On Nov. 12, 2005, Donald Trump Jr. married former model Vanessa Kay Trump, formerly Vanessa Kay Pergolizzi. Donald Trump introduced Donald Trump Jr. to Vanessa at a fashion show in 2003.
The couple married at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, in front of about 370 guests, with the service officiated by Donald Trump’s sister, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry.
Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Trump were 27 years old when they wed, weeks before they both turned 28, in December 2005. Donald Trump Jr.’s siblings were in the wedding party: Ivanka Trump was a bridesmaid and Eric Trump was a groomsman.
Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. had five children together − Kai Trump, Donald Trump III, Tristan Trump, Spencer Trump and Chloe Trump − before they eventually divorced, after 12 years of marriage, in 2018.
In 2018, Donald Trump Jr. began dating former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. When the couple split in 2024, he began dating Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson.
Though they are divorced, Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, seem to have an amicable relationship — his posts on social media often include their children, and, occasionally, family pictures with the rest of the Trump clan include Vanessa Trump.
Vanessa Trump had even attended high-profile events to support her former father-in-law such as Election Night and Inauguration Day, alongside her former husband and his ex-girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle and current girlfriend Bettina Anderson.
