We promise, we'll
get back to real news in a little bit. But first: After weeks of rumors, the
sports icons Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn have made it official: They are
dating.
"I guess it wasn't a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating
Tiger Woods," Vonn, the Olympic gold medalist ski racer, tweeted.
Both Vonn and Woods, who is a 14-time major golf champion, also
posted photographs of themselves on their Facebook pages.
"Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something
more over these past few months and it has made me very happy," Vonn
said on her Facebook page. "I don't plan on addressing this
further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and
close friends."
Woods put
out a very similar statement, saying, "We want to continue our
relationship, privately, as an ordinary couple and continue to compete as
athletes."
As
ESPN explains, Woods has two children with his ex-wife Elin
Nordegren, a former Swedish model.
"The marriage dissolved after Woods' infidelities very
publicly came to light in 2009," ESPN adds. "His career then suffered
for a time, but he has shown signs of again becoming the top threat on the tour
and won the WGC-Cadillac Championship this month. Woods is in the field for
this week's Arnold Palmer Invitational."
Vonn, whose divorce from fellow Olympic ski racer Thomas Vonn
became official in January, is recovering from a knee injury she suffered
during the World Championships in Austria.
