Before the world knew Vanessa Trump as Tiger Woods’s girlfriend, they knew of her as a loving mother of five kids she had with Donald Trump Jr. Yeah, now she’s getting much more attention in the golf world, but that has not stopped her from being a devoted mother to all her kids. But her first one, the golf prodigy Kai, recently achieved a major milestone that truly deserved a shoutout from her loving mom.

So, Kai turned 18, and Vanessa could not help but gush over it. ‘Happy 18th birthday to my 1st child, @kaitrumpgolfer! I’m so proud of the young lady that you have become! You are an inspiration to all! Love you from the bottom of my heart, Mom,’ she wrote on Instagram. Along with that, she posted a carousel of photographs of her and Kai dressed in beautiful black dresses, followed by Kai’s baby pictures (which were adorable, by the way) and then a picture of both of them at TGL, posing with the cup.

Kai’s father also shared a heartfelt message for his daughter. Sharing beautiful pictures of her from various milestones of her life, he wrote, “To my little Kai, aka @kaitrumpgolfer, I can’t believe that you’re 18. I love you so much, and I’m so incredibly proud of the young woman you’ve become. I look forward to the next 18 years as much as I enjoyed the last. I love you so much. Happy birthday, sweetie.”  Oh, and Kai cut a beautiful two-tier pink cake with silver details.

Kai also shared a birthday post on her Instagram, showing gratitude for the year she has had, along with the photographs recapping her 17th year. ‘17, you taught me a lot about life. 18. I hope you teach me a lot more. 🫶,’ she wrote on Instagram.

As a freshman at The Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Kai has been playing golf for thirteen years and is currently serving as the team captain; that’s an accomplishment in itself. She won the ladies’ club championship at Trump International Palm Beach not just in 2024, but also back in 2022. Her decision to go to Miami is a huge step, showing her focus on improving her game and competing at a higher level.

Not only do Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. have a heart full of love for their daughter, but Kai’s affection for them is equally evident. On Mother’s Day, Kai shared heartfelt stories on Instagram celebrating Vanessa, showcasing the deep bond they share. When she announced her decision to attend the University of Miami, she thanked both her parents for being there and for always supporting her through her journey. So, yeah, both mother and daughter never miss a chance to give each other a shoutout.

The heartfelt connection between Vanessa and Kai

Whether it’s a birthday or a simple memory, Vanessa’s maternal instinct naturally draws her closer to her children, making her a constant pillar of support in their lives. In the sophisticated world of golf, she definitely deserves the ‘Best Mother’ award.

When Kai posted a carousel of her visit to the White House, one picture showed her sitting in the president’s chair, surrounded by her siblings. This particular picture touched Vanessa’s heart, and she left a sweet comment: “My kiddies ❤️️.” Nothing big, right? but enough to show how much she cherishes her children. Kai responded right away with, “Love you ❤️,” showing the unbreakable bond they share.

Vanessa also shared a throwback memory of her and Kai from the beach, showing just how much she loves her. So, they’re the kind of mother-daughter duo that reminds everyone how relationships, though fragile, can grow beautifully with love, care, and constant support.

What comes next for this rising star is something fans and the golf world are eagerly watching unfold.
