The 48-year-old shared the emotional news in an Instagram post on May 21, saying she is working closely with her doctors on a treatment plan and remains “focused and hopeful” while surrounded by family support.
Vanessa, who shares five children with ex-husband Donald Trump Jr., thanked her medical team and asked for privacy as she focuses on her recovery.
The announcement quickly drew support from family, friends, and followers. Ivanka Trump commented, “Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery,” while daughter Kai Trump called her “the strongest person ever.”
Vanessa has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since divorcing Donald Jr. in 2018, focusing on raising her children. More recently, she has been linked to golf legend Tiger Woods, with reports describing their relationship as serious and supportive.
As Vanessa faces this difficult health battle, loved ones and fans continue rallying around her with messages of encouragement and prayers.
