Vanessa Trump Shares Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Vanessa Trump revealed her breast cancer diagnosis through an Instagram post on Wednesday, May 20.

The 48-year-old, former wife of Donald Trump Jr., disclosed the health update to her followers, noting that she recently underwent a procedure and is now developing a treatment strategy alongside her medical team.

"I want to share a personal health update. 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. I would like to thank my doctors for performing a procedure earlier this week on me. I am saying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me," she wrote.

Trump concluded her message by urging supporters to respect her privacy during this time. "Thank you for your kindness and support. It truly means more than I can express. I kindly ask for privacy as I focus on my health and recovery."

Trump and Donald Trump Jr. share five children together: Kai, 19; Donald, 17; Tristan, 14; Spencer, 13; and Chloe, 11. The pair wed in 2005 before announcing their separation in 2018.

In November 2024, Trump began dating professional golfer Tiger Woods. The relationship comes as Woods faced legal troubles following a DUI arrest connected to a rollover car accident in Florida—his second significant crash incident within a five-year span.
