Ivanka Trump breaks her silence on Tiger Woods' relationship with Vanessa

Ivanka Trump has broken her silence after Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump went public with their relationship on Sunday night.

The announcement came 10 days after DailyMail.com exclusively broke the news that the golf icon was dating Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife. 

Alongside two pictures of the loved-up couple, Woods wrote on Sunday night: '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 for all those close to our hearts.'

Ivanka, who was Vanessa's sister-in-law when she was married to Don Jr., commented on the post: 'So happy for you both.'

She also added a number of emojis with love hearts. 

Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, who both live in Florida, have been together since Thanksgiving, DailyMail.com confirmed with four sources.

They live 20 minutes apart in the wealthy southern Florida enclave of Palm Beach and were spotted together at a golf tournament last month. 

Vanessa's eldest daughter Kai, 17, and Woods' children Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, all attend the $38,595-a-year The Benjamin School together.

Woods and Vanessa were absent from the junior golf tournament in South Carolina that both Kai and Charlie played in this week.

Don Jr. was also absent from the contest, despite sources saying he is 'cool' with his ex-wife's new relationship. Woods's ex-wife Elin Nordegren was also a no-show at the event. 

It comes after DailyMail.com revealed that Woods called Elin to tell her the news over fears that knowledge of their tryst would leak.

He called the 45-year-old shortly after they started dating, with a source revealing to DailyMail.com that the short and awkward call only lasted a few minutes.

'Tiger and Elin are supportive of each other', they said. 

'Her response at first was like "Seriously? A Trump? For real?",' the insider says. 'She was more amused than anything. But she really quickly just accepted it.

'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.' 

Other members of the Trump family, including all five of Vanessa and Don Jr.'s children, were already aware they are an item, one source said.

A source said: 'Tiger and Vanessa have been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving.

'She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They’re not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week.

'They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together. They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway.'

The former model and mother of five filed for an uncontested divorce from Don Jr. on March 15, 2018 in New York.

Since they officially split she has not had a high-profile relationship.

Don Jr. has remained a close adviser to his father and helped take over much of the business.

The two families appear to have become increasingly close. 

Last month, at the PGA Tour's Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in California, they were pictured arriving together.

Kai, who committed to playing golf at the University of Miami next year, wore an outfit from Woods' clothing line.

In February, Vanessa took Kai to watch a round of the TGL, the golf league created by Woods and Rory McIlroy.

Meanwhile, President Trump met up with Woods for a round of golf last month.

Woods recently suffered a major setback in his plan to return to golf when he revealed he had ruptured his Achilles tendon.

The 15-time major winner was preparing for his latest comeback at home in Florida when he felt a ‘sharp pain’ in his left heel.

He underwent surgery on March 11 and is expected to make a full recovery, but has been ruled out of the Masters next month.
