JUPITER ISLAND, FLORIDA: Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, has broken her silence following the DUI arrest of golf legend Tiger Woods in Florida.

The arrest of Woods occurred only days after he and Vanessa were seen together at a Florida Golf League championship. During the tournament, Vanessa's daughter, Kai Trump, was also present in the stands to watch Woods compete.

Vanessa Trump breaks silence after Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest

Vanessa Trump broke her silence on social media after the 15-time major winner was arrested on several charges, including DUI, after the rollover crash on Jupiter Island on March 27.

On Friday morning, she posted a photo on her Instagram Stories showing her hugging Woods on a hammock. "Love you," Vanessa Trump wrote as the caption of the picture.

This was the same photo Woods used on X when he first told the public about their relationship in March 2025. 



In that original post, Woods had written, "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."



Tiger Woods arrest affidavit reveals symptoms and medications

The arrest happened after the car accident where police from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office saw signs that Woods was impaired.

According to an arrest affidavit, officers said Woods was "sweating profusely" and that his movements were "lethargic and slow."

After he performed field sobriety tests, he was arrested. During a search, police found "two white pills inside Woods’ left side pant pocket."

These pills were later identified as hydrocodone, which is a prescribed medicine used for pain.

Before the tests, Woods told police he had seven back surgeries and "over 20 operations on his leg."

He admitted to the officers, "I take a few" prescription medications for his physical condition.

Breathalyzer results and Trump reacts to Tiger Woods arrest

When he was taken to jail, Woods took a breathalyzer test and the results were 0.00, meaning there was no alcohol in his system.

However, he refused to take a urine test, which led to another charge.

President Donald Trump spoke to the New York Post about the arrest to support Woods.

"I think he’s doing great, he’s doing good," the president told the outlet.

Woods has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He also announced he would stop playing golf for a while to "seek treatment and focus on my health."
