Vanessa Trump and Tiger Woods are leaning on each other as they each navigate difficult chapters in their lives.

“Vanessa has really been standing by Tiger through everything he’s been dealing with, just like he’s been there for her throughout her cancer battle,” a source exclusively told Page Six.

“They’re both going through incredibly difficult things in their own lives, and they’ve really leaned on each other and given each other a lot of strength through all of it.”

Trump, 48, made her support clear Wednesday when she accompanied Woods, 50, to a Florida courthouse, where the golf legend accepted a last-minute plea deal stemming from his DUI arrest earlier this year.

The couple arrived at the Martin County Courthouse in Stuart holding hands, with Trump remaining by Woods’ side throughout the hearing. The Golf Hall of Famer looked to Trump often during the brief hearing, even flashing her a smile after signing the plea agreement.

“It meant so much to Tiger to have Vanessa there with him in court,” our source said. “She wanted to be by his side and support him.”

“They show up for each other when it matters.”

Woods ultimately pleaded no contest to reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful chemical test after his DUI charge was reduced as part of the agreement.

He was fined $1,500 and lost his driver’s license for five years, with the judge warning him that driving during the ban could land him back behind bars.

The hearing came months after Woods underwent a six-week inpatient treatment program in Switzerland following his March arrest.

“Vanessa is incredibly supportive of Tiger and really proud of the way he’s been handling everything going on in his life,” the insider said. “She knows this hasn’t been an easy time for him, and she’s been there encouraging him every step of the way.”

However, according to the source, the support has gone both ways.

Trump revealed in May that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was working with her medical team on a treatment plan after undergoing a procedure.

“Tiger has been that same source of support for Vanessa throughout her cancer battle,” the insider said.

“They’ve both seen each other at their most vulnerable, and everything they’ve gone through has only brought them closer.”

The source added that despite the challenges they’ve faced, the pair’s relationship remains strong.

“They’re very serious about each other and really feel like they’re a team.”
