Vanessa Trump shares breast cancer diagnosis as Tiger Woods shortens rehab stay amid family support
Vanessa Trump has revealed that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, sharing the personal health update publicly while thanking her medical team and loved ones for their support.
In a message posted to Instagram on Wednesday, the 48-year-old said she is already working with doctors on a treatment plan and had undergone a medical procedure earlier in the week.
“I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. While this isn’t news anyone expects, I’m working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan,” Vanessa wrote.
She added that she remains focused on recovery while leaning on those closest to her.
“I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids and those closest to me,” she shared, before thanking supporters and requesting privacy as she focuses on her health.
Family rallies around Vanessa after announcement
Following her announcement, messages of support quickly followed from family members and those close to her.
Among those responding publicly was her former sister-in-law Ivanka Trump, who commented beneath the post: “Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama.”
Vanessa, who shares five children with former husband Donald Trump Jr., was last seen publicly during celebrations for daughter Kai Trump’s high school graduation.
According to reports, Kai celebrated with an intimate family dinner in Naples, Florida attended by her parents, President Donald Trump’s daughter Tiffany Trump and her husband Michael Boulos, as well as Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée Bettina Anderson.
Vanessa and Anderson were reportedly seen embracing during the gathering.
Tiger Woods shows support after leaving rehab early
The announcement also comes during a challenging period for Vanessa’s boyfriend, golf legend Tiger Woods.
Woods recently completed an intensive rehabilitation program in Zurich after facing legal trouble tied to a DUI case following a car crash near his Florida home. Despite the ongoing situation, reports said he took his recovery seriously and remained focused on moving forward.
According to reporting cited in the coverage, Woods cut his rehab stay short to attend Kai Trump’s graduation ceremony at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
While he did not attend the graduation dinner afterward, he was present at the ceremony itself.
Reports also noted that Vanessa has remained supportive of Woods during his recovery. After speculation surfaced about the state of their relationship, she publicly backed him on Instagram following his arrest, posting a photo of the two together alongside a simple message: “Love you.”
