Vanessa Trump declares she is cancer‑free after breast cancer diagnosis

Vanessa Trump, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr, has announced that she is cancer‑free following her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

The 48‑year‑old said her recent test results “came back clear, so I’m finally cancer‑free” in a short video posted on her 19‑year‑old daughter Kai’s Instagram account. A longer video released by Vanessa and Kai later discussed breast‑cancer awareness, early detection and prevention.

Vanessa first discovered a pea‑sized lump after experiencing arm pain for several months, and was diagnosed with breast cancer in April. She publicly disclosed the diagnosis in May, noting that she had undergone a lumpectomy and radiation treatment.

In the video, Vanessa explained the emotional challenges of awaiting test results and the importance of mental strength. Kai’s Instagram post, marking October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, attracted over 20,000 likes and supportive comments, including from US singer and media personality Mary Millben.

Vanessa Trump separated from Trump Jr in 2018 and announced last year that she had begun dating US professional golfer Tiger Woods.
