Vanessa Kirby, 47, and Tiger Woods, 49, made a splash when they were spotted arriving together at the prestigious Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines in California back in February. The gossip mill went into overdrive as rumors swirled about their budding relationship. As they grew closer, their inner circle expanded, especially among the parents at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, where both of their children attend.
A source close to the couple spilled the beans to the Daily Mail, revealing that the news of their romance was not a well-kept secret within the tight-knit community of Benjamin School. “Benjamin is like a small community, and there’s nothing that rich people like to do more than gossip about each other,” the source confessed. “Frankly, I’m surprised that it was secret for so long.”
Despite their efforts to keep their relationship under wraps, Woods and Vanessa were unable to avoid the inevitable scrutiny that comes with high-profile romances. They carefully avoided being seen in public together and refrained from sharing the news with their friends. “He knew it would be a huge story when it came out, and he didn’t exactly love it,” the insider revealed. “But obviously Tiger dating a Trump is always going to make headlines, which is exactly what he wanted to avoid.”
