Could Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump soon be heading down the aisle?
Last month, news reports claimed that the golfer and the president's former daughter-in-law were getting so serious wedding bells were imminent.
Friends close to the couple said that the Woods, 49, and Vanessa, 47, were madly in love, spending all their free time together, and slowly integrating their families.
But a friend of Woods has now told the Daily Mail that any talk of an imminent wedding is absurd -- and that both Woods and Vanessa have financial reasons for why marriage would not make sense.
'Cynically, why should she get married? There's no point of it, and it would just complicate her alimony from Donald [Trump Jr.]' the friend said.
'And Tiger of course paid out a lot in his divorce from Elin [Nordegren], and I don't think he's particularly excited to do that again.'
Vanessa has five children with ex-husband Don Jr., who she married in 2005. The couple divorced in 2018. The terms of their divorce settlement were not made public.
Woods shares two children with ex-wife Elin Nordegren. They split after six years of marriage in 2010 following one of the biggest sex scandals in sports history, in which dozens of women claimed to have had affairs with the golf star.
To settle that divorce, Woods paid a reported $100 million to Nordegren.
But, on top of the financials, Woods' friend - who has known him for nearly two decades - also suggested that the golfer doesn't yet know Vanessa well enough to get married again.
'If you know Tiger, you know that he's not the type to just get married at the drop of a hat,' said the friend.
'He has been with women for years and not done that. I think it would take a lot to get him to be a groom again.'
Woods and Trump initially went to great lengths to keep their romance under wraps by avoiding public places and not talking about each other with friends.
The couple, who started officially dating around Thanksgiving last year, received their children's blessings before outing the relationship.
While news of their relationship came as a surprise to many, it was already an open secret at the $38,595-a-year Benjamin School in Palm Beach where both Woods and Vanessa send their children.
The couple were occasionally spotted at school functions together, although they reportedly avoided public displays of affection.
Woods was even photographed with Trump's daughter, Kai Trump, at a golf tournament.
On March 23, ten days after the Daily Mail exclusively broke the news of the couple's new relationship, Woods posted pictures with Trump on his Instagram and X accounts.
One snap showed them posed in front of a vine-covered wall while another captured them cuddling in a hammock.
'Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,' Woods wrote. 'At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.'
The Woods source insisted that the couple's relationship is serious, but said that it does not mean they will wed anytime soon.
'Honestly, it makes no sense for them to do that at this point,' said the insider, 'It's 2025. You don't need to be married if you don't want to. Why mess with something that's working so well?'
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives of the couple for comment.
