Vanessa Trump Announces She Is Cancer-Free Six Months After Diagnosis
Vanessa Trump said she is cancer-free in an Instagram video shared by her daughter, following a breast cancer diagnosis announced in May.
Vanessa Trump, the 48-year-old ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., posted a short Instagram video on Friday stating that her recent medical tests showed she is cancer-free. The video was shared by her 19-year-old daughter, Kai Trump, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
"My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in April, so we thought we would share her story and how she was diagnosed and how she overcame it," Kai said in the clip.
A longer interview featuring Trump, her daughter and Dr. Nicole Saphier is scheduled for release on YouTube, where they will discuss the breast cancer journey and the importance of early detection.
Trump first disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis on May 20 via Instagram, writing that she was working with her medical team on a treatment plan and thanking doctors for a recent procedure. The post received supportive messages, including one from Ivanka Trump, who wrote, "Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama."
In March 2025, Trump confirmed a new relationship with golfer Tiger Woods. A source told Page Six that Woods has been supportive throughout her treatment. Woods returned to the United States on May 14 after a rehabilitation stay in Switzerland following a car crash and DUI arrest.
Trump and Donald Trump Jr. were married from 2005 to 2018 and have five children: Kai; Donald, 17; Tristan, 14; Spencer, 13; and Chloe, 11.
