Tiger Woods informed ex-wife Elin Nordegren in an “awkward” phone call about his new relationship with Vanessa Trump before it became public.
Famed golfer Tiger Woods reportedly called his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, to tell him about his new relationship with President Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, before the news became public.
Earlier this month, Daily Mail reported Woods and Vanessa “have been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving.”
Now, sources close to the couple said the call was “awkward,” but it remained “civil.”
“It was a pleasant, almost friendly conversation,” an insider told the British outlet. “Her response at first was like ‘Seriously? A Trump? For real?’” The source explained that Nordegren was “more amused than anything” but ultimately accepted it without issue.
Tiger Woods’s ex-wife wondered ‘who the girlfriend was’
Woods and Nordegren married in 2004 after dating for three years. The former couple finalized their divorce in 2010 after Woods’ widely publicized cheating scandal.
What seemed to surprise Nordegren the most was not that Woods was dating again, but rather “who the girlfriend was.”
“She just processed the information and wished them well,” the insider noted.
“They’re not the type to give each other their ‘blessing’ per se, but they keep each other in the loop with anyone who is going to spend any amount of time around the kids.”
