Washington D.C., July 19, 2025 — In a heartwarming and unexpected move, golf legend Tiger Woods and former First Daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump have announced their decision to adopt several orphaned children in the aftermath of the devastating floods that swept through southern states of the U.S.

The couple, who have drawn quiet media attention in recent months for their joint philanthropic efforts, were seen on the ground in Louisiana earlier this week, actively participating in relief missions. Images of Tiger rowing a rescue boat through flooded streets while Vanessa cradled a small, displaced child have gone viral, sparking a wave of admiration across social media.
“I’ve been through some of the darkest moments of my life, but nothing compares to seeing a child lose their entire family overnight,” Woods said during a press conference this morning at the Baton Rouge Emergency Response Center. “Vanessa and I have talked deeply about this, and we’ve decided to open our home and hearts to those children who no longer have one.”
Vanessa Trump, known for her ongoing charity work since her time in the White House, added, “I’ve never felt more certain about a decision in my life. These children need more than just shelter—they need love, stability, and a future.”
The couple confirmed they are in the final stages of adopting three children—a 6-year-old girl, a 9-year-old girl, and an 18-month-old boy—each of whom lost their parents in the floods.
The announcement quickly became a major trending topic, with the hashtag #TigerAndVanessaHomeOfHope gaining massive traction. Celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michelle Obama publicly praised the couple’s actions, calling it “a ray of hope in the midst of tragedy.”
Local authorities confirmed that Tiger and Vanessa have donated over $2 million to support flood recovery and are funding the construction of a long-term shelter and educational center for displaced children in Mississippi.
While they did not comment on rumors of a future wedding, both smiled warmly when asked about building a family. “A home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to begin again,” Tiger said, holding Vanessa’s hand as they stood together in the flood-ravaged neighborhood.
