President Donald Trump blamed Donald Jr.'s Russia meeting for the breakdown of his marriage to ex-wife Vanessa, even as he gave his blessing for his former daughter-in-law's relationship with Tiger Woods.
Earlier this month, DailyMail.com exclusively broke the news that the golf icon was dating Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife before the couple went public in a social media post on March 23.
The president, who teed it up with the 15-time major winner before jetting into New Orleans for the Super Bowl last month, delivered his verdict on golf's newest power couple Monday.
'I love Tiger and I love Vanessa. They had a great relationship,' the Commander-in-Chief declared, while speaking to reporters in inside the Oval Office.
Yet, although he appears to have made peace with the tryst, the 78-year-old didn't appear ready to move on from his son's broken marriage to the socialite.
Don Jr. and Vanessa divorced in 2018 and, seven years on, Trump was quick to cast blame on his political opponents for the split.
'I happen to think the relationship with my son was hurt very badly by the witch hunt [about] Russia, Russia, Russia and all the c**p they put Don through,' Trump continued.
'Vanessa and Don had a very good relationship. They have five incredible children. All great athletes, all good students. They broke up quite a while ago, which, to me, was very sad because I think they're both great.'
Woods shared PDA-packed photos of himself with Vanessa in a social media post earlier this month, declaring that 'love is in the air.'
But before going public with their budding romance, the couple had one particularly important person to break the news to: The president.
And Trump revealed that Woods, who he claimed to have a 'special relationship' with, personally informed him.

Divorce very much a shame.
Darn. That stupid Russia Russia Russia hoax. Doing damage to a loving couple and family.
Well, people act like money is all, but it’s not. The rich people suffer same as anyone.
I wish the couple well. i hope the best for them.
Well, the one year affair Don Jr had with some celebrity on the Apprentice likely didn’t help things. 🙄
She is going to regret her poor choices in life.
I wonder how good Vanessa is with a golf club???
Good point.
Especially if there are children....
Yes. Esp on the eldest child!
Kai Trump is their eldest and such a sweet, sweet person! I pray she is coping well behind the scenes. Public fronts can often belie the real struggle. And whether it’s her or her grandfather the President — it’s one thing to admire Tiger Woods as a golfer — it’s another for him to potentially join the family under these not so pleasant, very public auspices that highlight all the existing baggage. (Woods’ own past infidelity also.)
Don Jr. being the eldest among his siblings also —his own behavior and serial infidelity is typical of someone who has been hurt by divorce trauma — that of the late Ivana and his dad in this case. *sigh*
Generational cycle…
Yes, prayers for his children.
