Tiger Woods' ex Rachel Uchitel announces engagement days after golfer confirms Vanessa Trump romance
Tiger Woods's ex-mistress Rachel Uchitel has announced her engagement.
Uchitel shared photos flashing her huge engagement ring with her now-fiancé Dan Donovan via Instagram Friday. 'So this happened..' their joint post was captioned. The post's location was was tagged as Montecito, California.
Donovan and Uchitel first met almost three years ago, but didn't start dating until late 2024, according to the Daily Mail. Speaking in December, Uchitel revealed to the outlet that she was keeping her relationship with Donovan close to the chest over her fear that he would lose his privacy. 'He would reveal his identity in 30 seconds. It's more about me — I mean, to be honest with you, wanting to protect him,' she said at the time.
'Because there's a lot that comes with dating me and there's a lot of privacy that gets robbed of him when that is revealed. And I just kind of want to protect him and his kids and his businesses and his life.'
According to his Instagram bio, Donovan is the founder of security companies Stratoscope and Ingressotek.
Prior to her relationship with the business founder, Uchitel was engaged to James Andrew O'Grady before his death on September 11, 2001. She then married Wall Street trader Steven Ehrenkranz in 2004, but they divorced four months later.
Her relationship with Woods became national news in 2009 during the golfer's infamous cheating scandal. Uchitel and Woods had a long-term affair during his marriage to Elin Nordegren, whom he wed in 2004. Over one dozen women came forward after the revelation, claiming they also were intimate with Woods throughout his marriage.
Uchitel then married former soccer player Matt Hahn in 2011 until their divorce in 2014. The two are currently co-raising their daughter Wyatt Lily together.
Woods, meanwhile, confirmed his new relationship with Donald Trump Jr's ex-wife Vanessa Trump as the two of them shared pictures on Instagram.
'Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,' Woods said in the Instagram post, shared by Vanessa on her stories.
One photo showed Woods and Vanessa posing together, while another saw them lying in a hammock with her arm draped across his chest as he gazed skyward.
'At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts,' the post added.
The couple reportedly started seeing each other around Thanksgiving.
One source claimed to Daily Mail that while they weren't living together, they did live 20 minutes from one another in Palm Beach, Florida. An insider also told People that Vanessa's ex-husband, Donald Trump Jr., doesn't mind that she is now dating the golf legend.
Before her relationship with Woods, Vanessa was married to Ivanka's brother, Donald Trump Jr., for 12 years. The former couple share four children in addition to 17-year-old Kai: Donald Trump III, 16, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, 10.
Shortly after the Instagram post went live Ivanka Trump addressed her former sister-in-law's new relationship.
'So happy for you both!' Ivanka commented, along with two smiling face emojis with red hearts.

‘Snow White' becomes Disney's worst-performing live-action remake in nearly 10 years
Disney's 'Snow White' reboot is leaving a legacy it certainly doesn't want, becoming the company's worst-performing wide-release live-action remake in almost 10 years. The 2025 remake of the original 1937 movie opened March 21 in the US and Canada, and has struggled, earning barely $200 million worldwide. The film's page on calls the movie 'officially a flop,' and says its $205.5 million earnings are 'miles behind its massive $410 million total cost,' including marketing, production, and other items. The site calls the film's disappointing performance 'a financial blow which few expected to be this severe, especially with the losses already estimated at over $115 million, per Collider.' 'Pete's Dragon,' a 2016 Disney remake of the 1977 film, came away with $143.7 million, $61.8 million less than 'Snow White.' The 'Snow White' remake was not without its controversies, which perhaps contributed to the film's poor reception. Over three years before the film's release, one A-list actor with dwarfism had Walt Disney Studios reframe how it portrayed the classic seven dwarfs characters. 'Game of Thrones' star Peter Dinklage called out the studio for even considering taking a stab at portraying magical dwarfs in the modern era. 5 Rachel Zegler reads a book on the set of 'Snow White,' from an Instagram post on March 20, 2025. Instagram/@rachelzelger Speaking on comedian Marc Maron's podcast in 2022, Dinklage stated, 'You're progressive in one way, but then you're still making that f—–g backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f— are you doing, man?' Disney then addressed the complaint and said the company would take a 'different approach' to the seven dwarfs. Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of 'Snow White.' 'I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so,' Zegler said during Disney's D23 Expo in 2022. 'There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn't do that this time.' 5 Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler in a scene from the movie. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection 5 The seven dwarves from the 2025 movie. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Due to the controversy over the dwarfs and Zegler's comments on the original movie, Disney announced in late 2023 it would delay the release for 'Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs' by a full year. It was originally slated to be released in March 2024. Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. In an August 2024 X post talking about the official trailer for 'Snow White,' the actress wrote, 'And always remember, free Palestine.' She also lashed out at people who voted for President Donald Trump, saying in an Instagram post, 'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,' adding, 'F— Donald Trump.' 5 Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of 'Snow White.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection She later apologized, saying in part that 'Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding.' Disney also scaled back the Hollywood premiere event for 'Snow White.' Variety reported 'the studio won't be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does,' and that the dozens of media outlets customarily present wouldn't be. Instead, coverage consisted of house crew members and photographers. 5 Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Fox News Digital reached out to Disney for comment on 'Snow White's' box office numbers, but did not immediately receive a response. Fox News' Gabriel Hays contributed to this report.

Princess Märtha Louise's Daughter Is Joining a Popular Reality TV Series, Despite Being 6th in Line to the Norwegian Throne
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Princess Märtha Louise of Norway's daughter is branching out into reality TV. Leah Isadora Behn, who is currently 6th in line to the Norwegian throne, has announced her participation in a reality TV series called Forræder, which is Norway's version of The Traitors. Announcing the news on Instagram, Behn wrote, "Traitors Season 5 with @ gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss." She continued, "See you in the fall, this is going to be sick." Clearly, Behn is ready to be a conniving and memorable reality TV contestant. The 20-year-old royal has two sisters—22-year-old Maud Angelica and 16-year-old Emma Tallulah. The trio's father, Ari Behn, passed away in December 2019 at the age of 47. Leah isn't the first member of her family to embark upon a career in reality TV, either. Her older sister Maud appeared on the Norwegian version of The Masked Singer, Maskorama, in 2022. It's also worth noting that Princess Märtha Louise's three daughters don't have royal titles, despite being in line for the Norwegian throne. Aside from a possible future as a reality television star, Leah is a social media influencer with almost 150,000 Instagram followers, as of June 2025. Leah's mother, Princess Märtha Louise, married American Shaman Durek Verrett on August 31, 2024. The couple tied the knot at Hotel Union in Geiranger, Norway, which offers incredible views of a World Heritage Site-designated Norwegian Fjord. In April, Princess Märtha Louise and her new husband shared their top relationship tips on social media. "Always telling the truth and always being transparent with each other builds a beautiful and successful relationship because you can trust each other and know that, no matter what is said, love will always be there," Verrett shared in the video. Märtha Louise emphasized the importance of taking "responsibility for your triggers." She further explained, "It's mostly you who has the triggers inside of you from something in the past, it's not actually the person in front of you."

S.F. Unicorns make long-awaited Bay Area cricket debut at Oakland Coliseum
Thursday opened with a five-hour drive from Pismo Beach to the Oakland Coliseum for Neville Smeda, a native of South Africa who was initially skeptical of how Major League Cricket would logistically pull off its Bay Area debut. Smeda made it through the gates of the former home of Athletics baseball with about an hour to spare, proudly decked out in green and gold. He was not repping the A's. The South Africa men's national cricket team, aka the Proteas, share the same colors. Smeda rushed up the steps of the Coliseum, a storied venue that had never welcomed the likes of cricket across its 59 years in existence, with one thing on his mind: Could a baseball diamond be adapted to the oval shape characteristic of an authentic cricket field? In the week leading up to the MLC season opener, a rematch of last year's finals between the San Francisco Unicorns and the reigning champion Washington Freedom, Smeda left the same comment on a number of the league's Instagram posts promoting cricket in the Coliseum: 'Is it oval?' He never received a response. But when the cricket purist saw the finished product for himself, he was more impressed than disappointed. The field on which the Unicorns bested the Freedom by a score of 269/5-146 — the largest margin of victory (123 runs) in MLC history — did not appear as a perfect oval. Close enough, conceded Smeda, who marveled at the fact that a crowd of 5,126 people showed up to watch a cricket match in California. 'I watched five games last year in Dallas, that was an OK crowd,' Smeda said of Grand Prairie Stadium, MLC's staple site in Texas. 'Maybe the most was about 1,000 people. 'This, I think, is incredible.' The sight was several years in the making. In 2022, MLC CEO Johnny Grave first identified the Coliseum as a potential forum for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. The size of its playing surface, he said, was uniquely adaptable for cricket. The A's occupation at the time ultimately ruled the possibility moot. Bay Area cricket fans may have been the only people who actually applauded the A's move to Las Vegas, and Sacramento in the interim. 'In order for it to have real sporting and cricketing integrity, we needed to play in venues where the boundary size, the size of the playing surface, was akin to all the best cricket grounds in the world,' Grave told the Chronicle. 'The Coliseum is the only baseball ground in the U.S. that has that size of playing arena.' By the end of a seven-day stretch, nine MLC matches will be hosted in what was once the heart of Oakland sports, since abandoned by its marquee franchises. The Raiders left for Las Vegas in 2019, the same year the Warriors departed for San Francisco. And the A's are hosting a groundbreaking ceremony for their proposed ballpark in Sin City in less than two weeks. Sabi Lali, a Unicorns fan dating to their inception in 2023, was just grateful he could watch a pro cricket match in person again. Born and raised in India, home to the India Premier League, widely regarded as the best cricket league in the world, Lali has lived in the Bay Area for 15 years. The closest thing to live cricket he could find were community tennis-ball matches. Of course, he never stopped following his favorite IPL club, the Punjab Kings, as a native of the Punjab region. Most matches start around 7 a.m. PST, the start of a two-hour span when he shirks all fatherly responsibilities while his wife takes their two kids to school: 'I do not know my family during those two hours,' Lali joked. As soon as the Coliseum matches were announced, Lali purchased $200 worth of tickets to make a family field trip out of cricket's historic introduction to the West Coast. Because certain boundaries of the Coliseum's adapted cricket field were atypically narrow, sixes — the equivalent to home runs in baseball — soared into the stands at will. A whopping 19 sixes, the world record for modern T20 cricket (the sport's condensed three-hour format), were hit Thursday. As many fans had a chance to catch the game ball, albeit before throwing it back into the field of play, an unwritten rule of the sport. Smeda's piece of advice for folks used to catching baseballs with a mitt: 'Get out of the way.' A cricket ball is heavier and harder than a baseball, despite how easy world-class cricket players made it look to catch with their bare hands. One of the draws of MLC is how many top international talents the league has attracted. 'It's not just a slogan,' said Smeda, who especially lauded New Zealander Finn Allen, the Unicorns batsman who set a single-match league record for runs batted in (151) to avenge his team's championship loss to the Freedom a season ago. 'It was an amazing experience,' Allen said. 'We wanted to come out here, first time with Oakland, throw the first punch and put on a show.' Well before the final result of Thursday's match rang out over the stadium intercom to celebrate the local Unicorns as victors, cricket won. Smeda, who grew up playing cricket in South Africa from age 5, was in awe of the scene, marked by his beloved sport's uniquely diverse fan base all gathered in one place. The place in question being the Oakland Coliseum only sweetened the moment. It was proof of concept for what cricket, long renowned worldwide, could become in America — and especially in the East Bay, where diehard fans could finally emerge from obscurity Thursday. 'This is my happy space,' Smeda said. 'Cricket in America is one of those where you get nationalities from all over the world. I love to meet the Bangladeshi and the Pakistani and the Indian and the Sri Lankan and the Englishman and the Australian. I mean, there's just so much passion for it … which is one of the reasons I think (MLC) came to San Francisco because you have a very diverse population here.'
