Vanessa Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., revealed on Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She shared the news on Instagram, stating that she had undergone a procedure earlier in the week and is working closely with her medical team on a treatment plan. The 48-year-old mother of five expressed gratitude for the support of her family, children, and medical team, while asking for privacy during her recovery.
Kai Trump, the couple's eldest daughter, celebrated her high school graduation from The Benjamin School in Florida. Photos obtained by the Daily Mail showed Kai meeting with her grandmother and aunt in New York City, though Vanessa was absent due to her health update. Kai posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, calling her mother 'the strongest person I know.'
Vanessa Trump is currently dating professional golfer Tiger Woods, who was arrested in March for driving under the influence. She and Donald Trump Jr. finalized their divorce in 2018 after 13 years of marriage. Ivanka Trump, the former sister-in-law, publicly expressed support for Vanessa, praying for her strength and swift recovery.
The announcement comes amid other health challenges within the Trump family, including White House chief of staff Susie Wiles' early-stage breast cancer diagnosis in March.
