TIGER WOODS is dating Vanessa Trump, according to sensational reports.

According to the Daily Mail, four separate sources confirmed Woods and Vanessa – the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr. – are an item.

They have been together since Thanksgiving and live 20 minutes apart in the wealthy southern Florida enclave of Palm Beach.

A report from Page Six cautions the relationship is “not too serious” yet, but is “heading in that direction”.

Woods’ children, Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, attend the same school as Vanessa’s eldest daughter Kai, 17; the £30,000-a-year The Benjamin School.

Kai is said to be an avid golfer and is committed to playing golf at the University of Miami next year, and the two families are said to have grown quite close.

Last month Woods and Vanessa were spotted together at a golf tournament, while Kai was seen wearing an outfit from Woods’ clothing line.

Other members of the Trump family, including all five of Vanessa and Trump Jr.’s children, are aware of them being together.

A source told the Mail: “Tiger and Vanessa have been seeing each other since just before Thanksgiving.

“She comes to his place on Jupiter Island. They’re not living together. She comes over maybe a few nights a week.

“They just love hanging out, having dinner and schmoozing together.

“They’re sticking close to home, have decided not to make it a thing and go out in public. Not just yet anyway.”

Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, started out as friends before it became something more.

Vanessa filed for a divorce from Trump Jr. in 2018 in New York.

Five-time Masters winner Woods is her first high-profile relationship since the divorce.

Meanwhile, Woods’ love life has seen him date women “who just weren’t right for him”, according to a Page Six insider.

The source added: “They have a lot in common. They’ve both gotten used to public scrutiny. They both know how to keep their private life private. They’re both parents…

“They’re a good match; they’re level-headed, they like to avoid drama, they share a lot of the same values. [Woods] Always tried to date girls who just weren’t right for him.”

The source said of Vanessa: “She’s not starstruck my him; she’d date him even if he weren’t famous. Fame doesn’t interest her; that’s what he likes best about her … We’ll see where it goes.”

Woods was married to Elin Nordegren for six years before they divorced in 2010 amid a sea of controversy including cheating bombshells.

He also went for a round of golf with President Trump last month.

LOVE Island’s Gabby has slammed a fan after they questioned why Casey doesn’t want her to be his girlfriend in a scathing rant.

The fan took to TikTok to deliver a fiery message to the Love Island winner surrounding Gabby’s recent comments on her fellow islanders.

The user, who goes by the handle @BEKKYYY took to the popular social media site, ranting: “This video is for Gabby from Love Island and Gabby from Love Island only.

“Gabby, I’m here to remind you that while you’re currently on a world tour to talk about every other couple that was in the villa, I want you to know that you won Love Island and you’re not a girlfriend.

“Casey got on camera and said asking you to be his girlfriend wouldn’t change anything between you two,” she continued.

“I want you to understand Gabrielle that you are an international situationship.

“It didn’t matter what the other couples were doing because the couple that won are barely friends with a lot of benefits.

“That’s what you have to go home to every night so don’t worry about what Catherine is doing and Omar is doing and focus on why Casey doesn’t want you to be his girlfriend.

“You have bigger fish to fry,” the opinionated Love Island fan added.

Gabby hit back in the comments underneath the post, penning: “This made me laugh, thank you. what the hell are you on about? “

She also added a series of crying laughing emojis to let the tiktokker know she was unfazed.

Fellow Love Island Alum Olivia Attwood also jumped to Gabby’s defence, she said: “Guys what I would pay for you to all spend 10 minutes with these islanders in real life and your opinions would change so much, gabby has a kind heart.

“Pls think before you post mean stuff. Ok bye”

Even past Love Island winner Amber Rose Gill chimed in, she said:” I won love island with a man who’s surname I didn’t even know no benefits no nothing (laughing emojis) and broke up w him 7 days after.”

Casey and Gabby have recently been fighting allegations from fans that their relationship is merely a showmance.

The couple had left viewers cringing after an awkward exchange on Hits Radio with Fleur East last week.

When quizzed about whether they’d made things official since leaving the villa, Casey dropped a bombshell.

He admitted: “No, not yet. No, we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend yet.”

Fleur pressed him, asking why couples nowadays need so many steps before committing, but Casey doubled down.

“The difference of us being boyfriend and girlfriend and where we are now, there’s absolutely no difference at all,” he shrugged.

The pair had also come under fire for their comments surrounding other All star’s couples including Catherine and Omar.

In a recent social media video, Gabby and Casey could be seen playing a game of Guess Who – but the faces had been replaced with their fellow Islanders.

Casey was doing the guessing and Gabby had chosen Catherine Agbaje as the person he had to guess.

After asking a series of questions to try and identify the mystery Islander, he asked: “Would you say this Islanders was in a genuine couple?”

Gabby then threw some shade on Catherine and her boyfriend Omar Nyame and said she wasn’t sure they were genuine as they “hadn’t spent as much time together since leaving the villa.”

Lucy Letby cops are making HUGE mistake – we can prove innocence, killer nurse’s lawyer slams as staff face prosecution

4 hours ago New York State Comments Off on Lucy Letby cops are making HUGE mistake – we can prove innocence, killer nurse’s lawyer slams as staff face prosecution

POLICE have made a “huge mistake”, the lawyer for killer nurse Lucy Letby has claimed, after detectives said hospital staff could now face manslaughter charges.

Mark McDonald, representing Letby, who he claims is the victim of a miscarriage of justice, said expert evidence compiled by her defence team “points the finger” in a “very different direction” from where the police are looking.

Police have widened their investigation to look into gross negligence manslaughter for staff at the Countess of Chester Hospital[/caption]

Letby, 35, from Hereford, is serving 15 whole-life orders after she was convicted across two trials at Manchester Crown Court of murdering seven infants and attempting to murder seven others, with two attempts on one of her victims, between June 2015 and June 2016.

Cheshire Constabulary has been carrying out an investigation into corporate manslaughter at the Countess of Chester Hospital, where Letby worked as a nurse, and on Thursday the force said the probe had widened to gross negligence manslaughter.

The force said suspects had been identified and notified in connection with the investigation into baby deaths between 2012 and 2016.

The Thirlwall Inquiry, a public inquiry into the events surrounding Letby’s crimes, is due to reconvene at Liverpool Town Hall on Monday for final closing submissions.

Mr McDonald said: “It is astonishing that on the eve of the legal argument to stop the Thirlwall Inquiry, the police have decided to issue a press release discussing gross negligence manslaughter.

“We now have substantial and significant expert evidence which completely demolishes the prosecution case against Lucy Letby and points the finger in a very different direction to that which the police are currently looking.

“It is time they take a step back and ask themselves whether have they made a huge mistake.”

Earlier, in a statement, Cheshire Police said: “In October 2023 following the lengthy trial and subsequent conviction of Lucy Letby, Cheshire Constabulary launched an investigation into corporate manslaughter at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

“This focuses on senior leadership and their decision-making to determine whether any criminality has taken place concerning the response to the increased levels of fatalities.

“As our inquiries have continued, the scope of the investigation has now widened to also include gross negligence manslaughter.”

The statement continued: “This is a separate offence to corporate manslaughter and focuses on the grossly negligent action or inaction of individuals.

“It is important to note that this does not impact on the convictions of Lucy Letby for multiple offences of murder and attempted murder.

“Those identified as suspects have been notified. We will not be confirming the number of people involved or their identity as no arrests or charges have yet been made.

“Both the corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter elements of the investigation are continuing and there are no set timescales for these.

“Our investigation into the deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at the neo-natal units of both the Countess of Chester Hospital and the Liverpool Women’s Hospital between the period of 2012 to 2016 is also ongoing.

“Our priority is to maintain the integrity of our ongoing investigations and to support the many families who are at the heart of these.”

Last month an international panel of neonatologists and paediatric specialists told reporters that bad medical care and natural causes were the reasons for the collapses and deaths.

Their evidence has been passed to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which investigates potential miscarriages of justice, and Letby’s legal team hope her case will be referred back to the Court of Appeal.

A spokesperson at the Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: “Due to the Thirlwall Inquiry and the ongoing police investigations, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.”

Timeline of horror - how Letby targeted babies

LUCY Letby carried out her horrific crimes in a year-long period at Countess of Chester Hospital.

She used insulin and air to inject newborns while working on the neo-natal ward.

The collapses and deaths of the children were not “naturally-occurring tragedies” and instead the gruesome work of “poisoner” Letby.

Her rampage was finally uncovered after staff grew suspicious of the “significant rise” in the number of babies dying or suffering “catastrophic” collapses.

Letby was found to be the “common denominator” among the horrifying incidents.

Officers then searched her three-bedroom home in Chester and discovered a chilling cache of evidence.

The nurse had scribbled haunting notes in diaries and on Post-It notes, including one that read: “I am evil I did this.”

The note added: “I don’t deserve to live. I killed them on purpose because I’m not good enough to care for them.

“I am a horrible person.”

A probe into whether Letby harmed any other babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women’s Hospital is ongoing.

A corporate manslaughter investigation is also ongoing, as is now a gross negligence manslaughter one.
