Vanessa Trump has shared the wonderful news that she is cancer-free, six months after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

The 48-year-old former model, who is dating golf legend Tiger Woods, revealed the update in an emotional video shared by her eldest daughter, Kai Trump, on Instagram on Friday, October 23.

Vanessa, who was previously married to Donald Trump Jr., appeared alongside Kai, 19, as they discussed her health journey in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

"My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in April," Kai explained at the beginning of the video.

"So we thought we would share her story and how she was diagnosed and how she overcame it."

Vanessa then revealed that her latest medical tests had delivered the news she had been hoping for.

"It came back clear, so I'm finally cancer-free," she announced, before sharing a warm embrace with her daughter.

The mother-daughter duo also sat down with Dr Nicole Saphier to discuss Vanessa's diagnosis, treatment and recovery, with a longer conversation set to be released on Kai's YouTube channel.

Alongside the video, Kai explained that they hoped sharing her mother's experience would raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.

Vanessa first publicly revealed her diagnosis in May, explaining that she was working closely with her medical team on a treatment plan.

In a statement shared on Instagram, the mother-of-five confirmed that she had undergone a medical procedure and was grateful for the support of her doctors and loved ones.

"I am staying focused and hopeful," she wrote at the time, adding that she was surrounded by her children, family and those closest to her.

The announcement prompted an outpouring of support, including from her former sister-in-law Ivanka Trump, who offered prayers for her recovery.

In June, Vanessa shared another update, revealing that she was recovering from surgery and preparing to begin the next stage of treatment.

Throughout her health battle, Vanessa has been supported by her five children, Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe, whom she shares with her ex-husband Donald Trump Jr. The former couple married in 2005 before divorcing in 2018.

Vanessa has also had the support of her boyfriend, Tiger Woods, 50, whom she began dating in 2024.

The couple made their relationship public in March 2025, when the golfing champion shared photographs of them together on Instagram.

Vanessa's latest announcement marks a welcome milestone for the family after months of treatment, with the mother-of-five now using her experience to encourage greater breast cancer awareness.
