Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., revealed she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She shared the update on social media, stating she underwent a procedure earlier this week and is now working with doctors on a treatment plan. She expressed gratitude for her family’s support and remained optimistic about recovery.
The 48-year-old emphasized her focus on staying strong for her children and thanked friends and followers for their kind messages. “I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me,” she wrote.
Ivanka Trump, Vanessa’s former sister-in-law, responded publicly, offering prayers for strength and a swift recovery. “Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you, mama,” Ivanka wrote, highlighting the supportive relationship within the Trump family despite past divorces.
Vanessa shares five children with Donald Trump Jr.—Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. The couple divorced in 2018 after 12 years of marriage but continues to co-parent. Vanessa’s cancer diagnosis comes shortly after celebrating Kai’s high school graduation, which she attended with family, including Tiger Woods, her reported partner since late 2024.
Despite media scrutiny surrounding Woods’ recent DUI arrest and rehabilitation in Switzerland, Vanessa remained supportive and maintained contact with him throughout his treatment. Reports indicate the couple reunited happily after his return to Florida. Woods was present at Kai’s graduation, though he skipped the post-ceremony family dinner.
Vanessa’s public announcement has sparked widespread attention, emphasizing resilience and family support amid a challenging personal health battle.
