People are just realizing hidden detail in Kai Trump's first Instagram post
Her very first post? A photo with her grandfather and Tiger Woods, taken on a sunny day at one of Trump's golf courses and shared on February 23, 2021.
'Wishing Tiger luck and a speedy recovery. Also wishing his family all the best in these incredibly trying times. Get well soon! #goat #tigerwoods,' she captioned the shot, referencing Woods' serious car crash in early 2021.
Now four years later, people have been noticing the significance of the post after Kai's mother started dating the golfing legend.
Vanessa and Trump Jr divorced in 2018 after 12 years of marriage and since Thanksgiving 2024 Vanessa has been dating Woods.
Sharp-eyed fans have been commenting on Kai's first post with one writing: 'Ironic this is her first post when he's now dating her mom.'
Now 18, Kai has made a name for herself in golf. A senior at The Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, Florida, she committed to the University of Miami last year and is poised to become a star in one of the country's top golf programs.
She's also one of the most-followed student-athletes online, with a growing fanbase thanks to her YouTube channel and golf content.
Last fall, she played against popular golf creator Garrett Clark and regularly shares behind-the-scenes vlogs.
Her popularity has paid off. She recently landed a major NIL deal with Accelerator Active Energy, joining stars like Livvy Dunne and Travis Kelce.
Her announcement video - complete with a mock presidential speech - showcased her signature humor: 'My fellow Americans and content creators. After months of reflection, I made a decision. I'll be running - no, stepping - into a new role.
'One with great responsibilities and 100 per cent natural caffeine. I've partnered with Accelerator!'
Speaking to Fox, Kai said the 'organic' partnership was a natural fit: 'I love energy drinks… I don't eat a lot of sugar, because I get a little jittery and I crash and with accelerator there is no sugar and I don't crash at all.'
She reportedly holds a $1.2 million NIL valuation and is now part of a brand lineup that includes Dunne - who launched her own cotton candy flavor in April - and Super Bowl champ Kelce.
Kai is the eldest of Don Jr. and Vanessa's five children. Her younger siblings include Donny, 16, Tristan, 13, Spencer, 12, and Chloe, the youngest.
Kai has previously spoken about how her grandfather has pushed her to be a better golfer.
'He taught me to just keep on working at it, and, honestly, I've gotten a lot better in past years with golf, but, he really just [taught me to keep] trying to keep on fighting and keep on practicing and whatnot,' she told 'Fox & Friends' last month.
'And I love playing golf… it's something that we share, a special bond together.'
The high school student also spoke about the difficulties in having such famous relatives.
'I mean, it's a lot to handle sometimes with the public eye and also being a high school student and just like a normal kid,' she said.
'But honestly I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm very lucky and grateful for the opportunity I have to meet all these people and meet world leaders.
'I'm very thankful and just lucky to have this opportunity.'

Popular 1980s actor Loni Anderson of the hit TV series 'WKRP in Cincinnati' has died
Loni Anderson, who played a struggling radio station's empowered receptionist on the hit TV comedy 'WKRP in Cincinnati,' died Sunday, just days before her 80th birthday. Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a 'prolonged' illness, said her longtime publicist, Cheryl J. Kagan. 'We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother,' Anderson's family said in a statement. 'WKRP in Cincinnati' aired from 1978-1982 and was set in a lagging Ohio radio station trying to reinvent itself with rock music. The cast included Gary Sandy, Tim Reid, Howard Hesseman, Frank Bonner and Jan Smithers, alongside Anderson as the sexy and smart Jennifer Marlowe. As the station's receptionist, the blonde and high-heeled Jennifer used her sex appeal to deflect unwanted business calls for her boss, Mr. Carlson. Her efficiency often kept the station running in the face of others' incompetence. The role earned her two Emmy Award and three Golden Globe nominations. Anderson starred on the big screen alongside Burt Reynolds in the 1983 comedy 'Stroker Ace' and the two later married and became tabloid fixtures before divorcing in 1994. Anderson is survived by her husband Bob Flick, daughter Deidra and son-in law Charlie Hoffman, son Quinton Anderson Reynolds, grandchildren McKenzie and Megan Hoffman, stepson Adam Flick and wife Helene, step-grandchildren Felix and Maximilian.

Yankees fans demand Aaron Boone is fired as season hits new low and stands of the brink of catastrophe
New York Yankees fans are demanding Aaron Boone is fired as the team's manager as the season has hit a new low and stands of the brink of catastrophe following the franchise's sweep at the hands of the Miami Marlins. The Marlins used the three-game sweep to get an even record, with the Yankees unsuccessfully using an opportunity to put their summer doldrums behind them. Instead, New York's plunge from first place in the American League East has further plummeted. The team is clinging to a Wild Card spot with plenty of games to go. Yet, the stronghold the Yankees held in 2025 has completely evaporated, in part to the team's 25-32 record since May 29. Now, Yankees fans are calling for Boone to lose his job again as the lofty expectations in the Bronx are not being met. The Yankees being swept in their third road series in the last seven definitely hit a sore spot for New Yorkers. 'If Aaron Boone were fired I think it's more likely than not they'd start taking every pitch seriously and win the American League. They won't do it,' one MLB fan said. 'I feel bad for Aaron Boone, the person. He's been a baseball guy and he's trying to protect these guys. His team has stopped playing for him and that's painfully obvious,' a second stated. 'Waiting for the day where I sign on and see the announcement "The Yankees have relieved Aaron Boone from his management assignment,"' a third added. 'Aaron Boone back, as a red Sox fan he was doing an AMAZING job lol,' a fourth continued. 'Lmao the Yankees stink. Idk how Aaron Boone still has a job,' a fifth concluded. A collection of social media messages from Yankees fans wanting Aaron Boone to be fired In a critical series for Wild Card positioning, the Yankees will head to the Lone Star State to face the Texas Rangers in a three-game series starting on Monday. The Rangers are the first team out of the postseason race, with a series victory over the Yankees bringing them at least within a game of New York, if not overtaking their American League foes. The Yankees are unlikely to make a managerial move this late in the season, with the Steinbrenner family typically using the offseason to fire coaches.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis bust boy band-worthy moves at Backstreet Boys concert
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis enjoyed a romantic weekend in Las Vegas that included attending a Backstreet Boys concert. The couple, who were seen last Thursday on a shopping trip with their kids in Los Angeles, were spotted rocking out to the 90s heartthrobs in the VIP section at the Sphere on Saturday night. A fan spotted the couple, who celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on July 4, dancing and singing along with the band and the rest of the audience to I Want It That Way. The That '70s Show alums didn't seem to care who saw them as they appeared to come in close for a kiss, but never let their lips meet. Kunis, 41, wore a short sleeve top with a fitted torso and high waist pants. Her long, dark hair was styled straight and her makeup was natural looking. Kutcher, 47, wore a loose fitting T-shirt with a pair of straight leg pants. A black billed had was placed backwards over his brown hair. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Michael Shawn McCabe (@michaelshawnmccabe) 'Ashton Kutcher and the ever-lovely Mila Kunis were behind us at the Backstreet Boys show at the Sphere tonight,' wrote Michael Shawn McCabe, who shot the video. on Instagram. 'They stole the show on this one with a little fun. They were both gracious to the crowd and fans around them.' 'They are so cute. I will be doing the same thing. Lol,' wrote a fan. 'Putting [on] a performance for the world,' wrote another with an eye roll emoji. The couple appear to have moved on from the backlash they received when they wrote letters of support for their former That '70s show co-star Danny Masterson ahead of his 30-year sentence for rape in September 2023. The pressure lead to some speculation that their marriage was in trouble, especially after the arrest of Kutcher's once close friend Sean 'Diddy' Combs on federal sex trafficking charges one year later. Combs and Kutcher were pals in the early 2000s via Kutcher's MTV show Punk'd which began in 2003. 'I've got a lot I can't tell,' Kutcher admitted during a 2019 Hot Ones interview when asked about Combs' infamous parties. Weeks after the arrest, an insider claimed to Daily Mail that Kutcher deeply regrets his past friendship with Combs. 'Ashton absolutely regrets his friendship with Diddy considering what has happened,' the source revealed at the time. 'He feels lied to, betrayed, taken for granted, and manipulated.' The rapper was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution for arranging for girlfriends and male sex workers to travel to engage in sexual encounters that he filmed. Each carries a maximum 10 year sentence. He was also found not guilty of two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and one count of racketeering conspiracy. Kutcher will be returning to television in the Ryan Murphy created series The Beauty, along with Evan Peter, Anthony Ramos and Jeremy Pope. The series is based on the 2016 Image Comics title by the same name. The 'Beauty' is an sexually transmitted disease that goes untreated because it makes those infected more attractive, but with lethal effects. Two detectives looking into the deadly infection discover what appears to be a government conspiracy rife with greed and corruption. He and Ramos were seen shooting scenes for the series in Venice, Italy in March. The show is expected to debut sometime in the fall. Kunis recently completed work on Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Knives Out movie, co-starring Daniel Craig, Josh O'Conner and Glenn Close. The whodunit is scheduled to begin streaming on Netflix on December 12.
