Vanessa Trump spoke openly about her battle with breast cancer, continuing treatment with the support of loved ones, including her boyfriend, Tiger Woods . The former model shared an update on her health on social media just a day after Woods reportedly returned to the United States following a stint in rehab.
Vanessa Trump has shared information about her health amid her battle with cancer.
On Saturday, Vanessa took to Instagram to announce that she continues to recover from a recent surgery as part of her treatment plan.
«"I've spent the last four weeks recovering from surgery, and I'm grateful to be recovering and moving forward. I'll soon begin the second phase of treatment," Trump wrote. "Sending love, strength, and hope to everyone battling this disease.".
The 48-year-old woman did not provide further details about her surgery or what the second stage of treatment would involve.
Vanessa first publicly announced her diagnosis last month, telling her followers that she was working closely with doctors to determine her next treatment path. "I remain focused and hopeful, surrounded by the love and support of my family, my children, and those closest to me," she shared earlier.
Thanking everyone for their support, Vanessa added, "I ask for privacy while I focus on my health and recovery.".
Ivanka Trump previously expressed support for her former daughter-in-law.
Following Vanessa's initial statement, members of the Trump family quickly publicly expressed their support for her. Her former daughter-in-law, Ivanka Trump , left a touching message of support under the post. "Praying for your strength and a speedy recovery. Love you, Mom," Ivanka wrote.
Vanessa has five children with her ex-husband, Donald Trump Jr., whom she divorced in 2018: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Khloé. Last month, the former couple reunited to celebrate Kai's high school graduation, along with Donald Jr.'s wife, Bettina Anderson, and other family members, including Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael Boulos.
Tiger Woods has reportedly paused his treatment to support Vanessa Trump.
While Vanessa continues to battle her illness, sources previously claimed that Woods made supporting her a priority after her cancer diagnosis. According to an insider speaking in late May, the golf legend, upon learning of Vanessa's diagnosis, felt he "needed to be there" for her, prompting him to temporarily pause treatment and return to Florida.
«"He and Vanessa are close and share a life together. He needed to be with her, and he was. They do everything they can for each other, considering they both have very busy schedules and responsibilities," a source said at the time. "Life throws unexpected curveballs, and so far they've both been there to help each other. They're lucky to have found each other.".
Another Florida source previously told PEOPLE that the couple remained a constant support system for each other despite their own personal struggles. "Tiger and Vanessa have supported each other through everything they've done, and I don't see that changing anytime soon," the source said, referring to both Vanessa's cancer diagnosis and Woods's ongoing legal troubles stemming from his drunk driving case.
«"No matter how focused and organized she was as a mother, ex-wife, and friend, the demands and stresses of modern life take their toll," the insider added, praising Vanessa's resilience and noting that she has the "right mindset" to navigate this challenging time.
Tiger Woods recently returned from rehab.
Vanessa's post came shortly after it was reported that Woods had checked himself out of rehab in Switzerland following his March arrest on drunk driving charges. According to Page Six, the golf legend returned to the US on Friday and was photographed landing at a private airport in Jupiter, Florida.
Woods, who reportedly began dating Vanessa in late 2024, was noticeably absent from the family's graduation dinner in Naples, but briefly attended Kai's graduation ceremony.

A source previously told PEOPLE that the athlete was experiencing increasing stress, both amid his recovery and due to ongoing legal issues. "It's created a tremendous amount of stress," the insider said, adding that Woods is "doing everything he can" under the pressure to recover.
Woods was charged with drunk driving after a rollover accident in March on Jupiter Island, Florida. He pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor DUI causing property damage. He also pleaded not guilty to refusing to submit to a legal test after refusing a urine sample. Woods' next court hearing is scheduled for July 7.
