Tiger Woods’ Ex Elin Nordegren ‘Has Her Reservations’ About Golf Pro’s Romance With Vanessa Trump

Links legend Tiger Woods is blissfully happy with new love Vanessa Trump, but it’s causing tension between him and his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, sources tell the National Enquirer.

The exes, who divorced in 2010 amid a headline-making sex scandal after he got busted cheating with multiple women, have maintained a cordial relationship over the years. As Enquirer readers know, the golfing great, 49, still often turns to his 45-year-old Swedish-born former wife for advice and support.

“She and Tiger talk a lot and are friendly, and she does have some sway with him as the mother of his children,” daughter Sam Alexis, 18, and son Charlie, 16, a source says.

But then Tiger began dating Vanessa, 47, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, last November. Insiders report that Tiger is madly in love with the mother of five and seems determined to marry her.

That has had Elin keeping her distance.

“She has her reservations about this relationship and she can’t exactly hide her disdain over the whole thing,” an insider says. “She thought it was a weird match from the start, and for him to be getting so serious and moving Vanessa into his home so soon is a red flag.”

Model turned mental health counselor Nordegren is also well aware that all of Tiger’s relationships since their split have fizzled.

“She thinks he needs to slow down,” the source shares. “For all their troubles, she still cares for Tiger and would hate to see him hurt.”

According to our insider, “she doesn’t want to tell him what to do, but she is encouraging him to take it slow and get to know Vanessa before making such a serious commitment.”

“It doesn’t look like he’s listening, however, and that’s got to be distressing for Elin,” the insider says.
