In brief

Vanessa Trump, 48, confirmed she is cancer‑free after her breast cancer diagnosis last April. She revealed the news in a brief video posted on her daughter Kai’s Instagram, announcing plans for a longer YouTube discussion on awareness and prevention. The former first daughter‑in‑law, who has five children with Donald Trump Jr., has been in a relationship with pro golfer Tiger Woods since last year. The story drew widespread support and underscores the importance of early detection and education.

Vanessa Trump, former wife of Donald Trump Jr, announced she is cancer‑free following a breast cancer diagnosis revealed earlier this year.

In a short video posted on her 19‑year‑old daughter Kai’s Instagram, Trump said her recent tests came back clear and that she was “finally cancer‑free.” The clip teased a longer YouTube video to be released the next day, where the mother and daughter will discuss breast cancer awareness and prevention.

Trump was first diagnosed in April, publicly announcing her condition in May after the surgery and while planning her treatment. She stated that she is working with a medical team on a comprehensive care plan.

The American Cancer Society notes that about one in eight U.S. women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and that the disease accounts for roughly 30% of all new female cancers each year. Advances in surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy and targeted treatments have improved long‑term outcomes.

During her Instagram post, Kai highlighted that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, emphasizing early detection and support for those affected. Over 20,000 likes and hundreds of supportive comments—including from singer Mary Millben—flooded the post.

Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr split in 2018. The former first daughter‑in‑law has since started dating professional golfer Tiger Woods.
