Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend engaged
Rachel Uchitel has announced her engagement. The good news comes just days after golfer Tiger Woods went public with his relationship with Vanessa Trump.
According to People, Rachel Uchitel announced her engagement to businessman Dan Donovan. The couple shared a romantic proposal moment at Rosewood Miramar Beach, California. Donovan got down on one knee and presented Uchitel with a diamond ring.
The romance began three years ago when they connected on the Bumble app but only started dating for the past 8 months. Donovan also has a close relationship with Uchitel’s daughter, Wyatt (12 years old). She was the one who helped him choose the ring.
Rachel announced the good news just days after Tiger Woods, her ex, officially confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump’s ex-daughter-in-law.
Rachel Uchitel was involved in a Tiger Woods affair in 2009. At the time, she was a manager of a high-end nightclub and was accused of having an affair with Woods while the golfer was married. The incident made her the center of the scandal. Woods later had to publicly apologize and withdraw from the golf world for a while.
Currently, Uchitel works in the media and entertainment industry. She hosts the podcast Miss Understood, sharing about life and the dark side of fame. Uchitel also participated in the reality TV show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew and appeared in the HBO documentary Tiger (2021).
Tiger Woods is a golf legend with 15 major titles, including 5 Masters championships. He was once the highest-paid athlete in the world but his career was hit by a 2009 affair scandal and injuries. However, Woods made an impressive comeback with the 2019 Masters championship.

Months after ending his 13-year marriage to model Vanessa Haydon in 2018, Donald Trump Jr.—Trump’s eldest child with first wife Ivana—began dating former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Having known each other for years, Guifoyle said she realized instantly the father to Kai (who made a speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention) Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe was her person.
When they went on their first date, “that was it,” Guilfoyle told Metropolitan Palm Beach magazine in 2022. “Sparks. In fact, we have been together from that night on, happily ever after!”
The couple got engaged on New Year’s Eve 2020. But four years later, Don Jr. confirmed their split. He’s since been linked to Bettina Anderson.

As Jared Kushner recalled in his book Breaking History: A White House Memoir, he was introduced to Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter with ex Ivana, in 2007 after her father suggested they meet to discuss real estate.
“The conversation soon turned to NASCAR, New Jersey diners, and other unlikely interests that we had in common,” he wrote. “That led to a second lunch at my favorite Indian restaurant, the Tamarind Flatiron & Tea Room on Twenty-Second Street, where we talked for three hours.”
Despite a brief split, they finalized their partnership in 2009—marrying at New Jersey’s Trump National Golf Club—and welcomed daughter Arabella in 2011, followed by sons Joseph in 2013 and Theodore in 2016.

Married at Mar-a-Lago in 2014, they welcomed kids Luke in 2017 and Carolina in 2019. A television producer when she started dating her future husband, Lara served as a campaign advisor for Trump in 2016 and 2020 before being elected as co-chair of the Republican National Committee in March 2024.

Though Barron Trump, the President’s now-adult son with third wife Melania, hasn’t publicly addressed his dating life, his father suggested the New York University student isn’t prioritizing romance at the moment.
