Vanessa Trump, the former wife of President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., said she is cancer-free in a video her daughter Kai shared on Instagram Oct. 23.
Kai Trump, the president’s 19-year-old granddaughter, said her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in April.
“We thought we’d share her story and how she was diagnosed, how she overcame it,” Kai Trump said in a social media clip preview of her YouTube video premiering on Oct. 24.
“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about early detection, education, and support for those affected by breast cancer,” Kai posted.
The video also features Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist and medical journalist.
In her Instagram caption, Kai Trump said their conversation would cover her mother’s experience with breast cancer, along with prevention and early detection.
“And it came back clear, so I’m finally cancer-free,” Vanessa Trump said in the clip. “Love you!” her daughter responded.
Saphier also appeared in the preview, discussing how experiences with breast cancer vary and how conversations on social media can remind viewers of its prevalence.
Vanessa Trump publicly announced her breast cancer diagnosis on May 20, saying in an Instagram statement that she had undergone a procedure earlier that week and was working with her medical team on a treatment plan. She asked for privacy as she focused on her health and recovery.
“I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me,” she wrote in the statement.
In a June 13 Instagram update, Vanessa Trump said she had spent the previous four weeks recovering from surgery and would soon begin the second stage of treatment.
“I’m grateful to be healing and moving forward,” she wrote, adding, “Sending love, strength, and hope to everyone fighting this battle.”
During a July 16 appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Kai Trump said her mother was improving despite the effects of radiation treatment.
“Obviously, radiation takes a toll on your body, but she’s doing better,” Kai Trump said. “She’s a fighter.”
Vanessa Trump shares five children with Donald Trump Jr.: Kai, Donald, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe. Her announcement drew a message of support from her former sister-in-law, Ivanka Trump, who commented, “Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama.”
Donald Trump Jr. married Bettina Anderson in May 2026. Vanessa Trump is dating golfer Tiger Woods, who publicly announced their relationship in March 2025 and shared photos of the couple on X.
