In the interview, Vonn also opened up about the difficulties of dating in the public eye. She said, “I just think, generally, it’s really difficult to date anyone in the public eye, and I’ve always been a really open person.” Things were made even more difficult by the presence of a power couple like Woods and Vonn. There were always some aspects of relationships that were to be kept private, and Vonn understood that.
She said that although she was happy with her relationship at the time, not all could be shared with the public, and that’s what made it difficult for her since she was very open. “It’s difficult, obviously, being in this position because everyone wants a scoop,” said Vonn.
