<p id=”par-1_41″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/reason-tiger-woods-ex-girlfriend-erica-herman-broke-up.html/”>Tiger Woods</a> has had fans buzzing the last couple of weeks after hinting about a return to the course for the upcoming Masters Tournament, and a rare appearance with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, at the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles. </p>
<p id=”par-2_56″>The pair went public with their relationship in March 2025 with a post on <a href=”https://x.com/TigerWoods/status/1903951000781701415″>X</a> that read, “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At the time, they requested privacy and haven’t been seen together in public much, until now.”</p>
<p id=”par-3_35″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-athletes/?swcfpc=1″>famous golfer</a> and President Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law are said to have bonded as their <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/tiger-woods-kids-growing-fast-look-just-like-famous-dad-see-pics.html/”>children</a> attend the same Benjamin School in Palm Beach County, Florida, and share a love for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sports/?swcfpc=1″>the game of golf</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-4_44″>During their outing, the couple posed for photos together and with Vanessa’s daughter, Kai Trump, who is a competitive junior golfer. Here’s what a professional lip reader noticed Vanessa saying to Woods about being “immature” before telling Kai to join them in the shot. </p>

<p id=”par-5_37″>Nicola Hickling is a lip-reading expert who has spearheaded the development of innovative technologies and services that empower individuals with hearing impairments. She has also appeared in the likes of the Daily Mail, Page Six, and Newsweek.</p>
<p id=”par-6_27″>Hickling told the <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/golf/article-15607221/tiger-woods-vanessa-trump-relationship.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Daily Mail</a> that Vanessa was very concerned with the angle the pictures were being shot from and her hair blowing in the wind. </p>
<p id=”par-7_30″>According to the lip reader, Woods assured his girlfriend, “It’s alright.” Vanessa then admitted, “I need to stop being immature,” to which Woods joked, “I don’t even have any hair.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_31″>Vanessa replied, “You’re a good guy,” as she wrapped her arms around Woods’ shoulder and posed for more pictures. She then invited Kai over to come and get in the frame.</p>

How Much Older Is Tiger Woods Than His Girlfriend Vanessa Trump? </a>

<p id=”par-9_39″>Judi James is a body language and behavioral expert who has authored more than a dozen books, including <em>The Body Language Bible: The Hidden Meaning Behind People’s Gestures and Expressions. </em>She weighed in on what she saw. </p>
<p id=”par-10_52″>“[Vanessa] flicks her hair back over her shoulders in a breezy preparation of posing here,” James said per <a href=”https://www.dailymail.co.uk/lifestyle/love-sex/article-15588641/vanessa-trump-tiger-woods-relationship-body-language.html” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>the Mail</a>. “But it is a while before the couple’s smiles achieve a mirrored look, and Woods continues to look a little awkward while Vanessa appears in charge of the posing and the choreography.”</p>
<p id=”par-11_77″>The expert added, “[Vanessa] waves her daughter into shot to create the suggestion of a strong family unit, and we can see Vanessa upgrade the emotional content by forming a possessive ritual with her arms while tilting her head in towards Woods in an act of closeness and trust … The final money shot will look like a close, loving family photo, although the building of the pose throws up signals of awkwardness and even some wariness.”</p>
