Elin Nordegren's Divorce From Tiger Woods Was Only The Beginning Of Her Story
Elin created a brand-new life after leaving Tiger
After suspecting that Tiger Woods was cheating, Nordegren reportedly checked Woods’ phone and found an incriminating text message that the golfer left his mistress, Rachel Uchitel. For Nordegren, this was reportedly the last straw. After she confronted her then-husband about the affair, Woods got into a car accident as he hurriedly tried to leave home.
After the golfer’s affair with Uchitel was made public, more women also came forward, alleging that they had affairs with Woods over the years too. Word soon emerged that Woods had started to seek treatment for sex addiction.
By 2010, Woods and Nordegren’s marriage was over. After their divorce was finalized, Nordegren reportedly received over $100 million in the settlement. It is believed that the couple did not have a prenup.
Following their split, Nordegren hasn’t said much publicly about her marriage to Woods. That said, she opened up a bit to People during an interview in 2014. “The word betrayal isn’t strong enough,” Nordegren remarked when asked about how she felt when she first learned about her husband’s infidelity.
Nordegren also revealed that they tried to make their marriage work after she first discovered that Woods was cheating on her. “We tried really hard.” Ultimately, divorce was a new beginning for Nordergren, though she later forgave Woods.
Elin Remained Friendly With Tiger While Pursuing Her Own Interests
After the split, Elin Nordegren graduated from college and gave a rousing commencement speech
As scandalous and highly publicized as their split was, Nordegren and Woods remained friendly with each other through it all. Over the years, the exes have been spotted attending their children’s events together a few times. But it's clear that Elin lived life for herself, too; in 2014, Nordegren gave a commencement address at her graduation from Rollins College in Orlando.
Nordegren had an "almost perfect GPA," earning her the right to give a speech, which she used to speak about her accomplishments.
I have also realized that education has been the only consistent part of my life for the last nine years and it has offered me comfort. Because education is the one thing that no one can take away from you.
While Nordegren looked back on her life with Woods with some humor, joking about paying more attention in a media class, Woods has also been happy to talk about his relationship with Nordegren post-divorce.
During an interview with Time just before his 40th birthday, the famous golfer revealed that they have since become “best friends.”
“We’re able to pick up the phone, and we talk to each other all the time,” Woods also added. He also explained that they became especially close after agreeing to prioritize their children.
When it came to talking to the children about the split, Woods revealed that he took the “initiative” in telling their children that he made “mistakes,” which was why he and Nordegren weren’t together anymore.
Since then, the children have been pictured with both Woods and Nordegren. Moreover, their son Charlie has also been spotted on the golf course a lot after he started following in his famous father’s footsteps.
Elin Nordegren Remarried, Had More Kids, And Launched A Business
Elin has five (biological) children and business experience
In the years that followed after Nordegren’s divorce from Woods, the former model ventured into the dating scene a couple of times. At one point, Elin was in an on-and-off relationship with the late billionaire Chris Cline with the pair going on vacation together several times.
Nordegren and Cline eventually split for good in 2017. Two years later, in 2019, Cline lost his life in a helicopter crash in the Bahamas.
As for Nordegren, she had since started a relationship with former NFL player Jordan Cameron. Things between the two got romantic after they were introduced to each other by a mutual friend. Since then, Nordegren has also started a family with Cameron, eventually welcoming three children: Arthur, Zeta, and Freya.
The former model is also a stepmother to Cameron’s son from a previous relationship. Together, Nordegren and Cameron are co-parenting six children, including Sam and Charlie Woods, and appear to be on good terms with Tiger.
Nordegren has not only focused on motherhood, however. In 2018, Nordegren obtained a license to provide therapy under EN Therapy, LLC. Despite launching the business, it did not appear to last long; in 2021, her license was "dissolved" after some reports went unfiled. At that time, Nordegren had recently welcomed a baby, which could explain why she allowed the business to stagnate.
It's unclear whether Nordegren returned to the business, or whether she is moving in another direction.
