Life after divorce is never easy. The people involved must move on, pick up the pieces of what\u2019s left in their lives, and try to look forward to a better future. Some succeed at it rather quickly, while others need more time to cope with the changes. It gets even more difficult when you\u2019re divorce becomes tabloid fodder. This is exactly what happened to Elin Nordegren. She was married to Tiger Woods, the world-famous golf athlete.<\/h6>\n
Their story was splashed all over the front pages of newspapers and we could only imagine how she coped with the scandal.<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Tiger Woods \u2013 the name has become famous, or for some, infamous. Whatever the case may be, this world class golfer dominated the greens with his unbelievable talent. He played golf well and won against the biggest players in the world. He seemed to lead a charmed life until an article featured a story of a car crash. He was involved in the accident. But there was more to it than that. His wife came out not too long after, and witnesses said that Elin came out to attack him with the golf club. That was when the cheating rumors started to surface. The man didn\u2019t live a charmed life after all. In fact, he had skeletons in his closet. People were dragged in the story and lives were destroyed, including the athlete\u2019s life and career. Years later, we\u2019re here to see if Elin has moved on and rebuilt her life from the ground up.<\/h6>\n

The Ideal Couple?<\/h2>\n

She The People<\/p><\/div>\n

While celebrity cheating scandals have become part and parcel of our lives, 2009 wasn\u2019t too kind for the Woods family. Everyone was shocked to learn that golf champ, Tiger Woods, was a serial cheater. He owned up to the fact that he had engaged to numerous affairs while being married to the beautiful Elin Nordegren.\u00a0 The truth came out after a single-car accident that involved his Escalade and a fire hydrant. Elin smashed the rear window of the car with a golf-club right after. In the months that followed, everyone looked to the couple. Woods’ sponsors then responded to the allegations that came after. Just months after November 2009, articles and interviews revealed Woods’ infidelity. It came as no surprise that the couple divorced the summer of 2010, a year later. Elin was a Swedish former nanny and model. She reportedly received over $100 million in settlement. More importantly, while it had been difficult for her then, she has since made peace with everything.<\/h6>\n

She Stayed Under the Radar for a Time<\/h2>\n

Buzz Super<\/p><\/div>\n

There were news reports that talked about how Woods had cheated with over 120 women. This number left Nordegren utterly devastated. Many of the people in-the-know revealed this fact People in 2010. As a matter of fact, she was so hurt by the news that she stayed silent about it for years after. At that time, there were questions about whether Nordegren’s divorce settlement required her to stay silent. It was believed that she couldn\u2019t about their history at all, but apparently, this wasn’t the entire truth.<\/h6>\n

Nordegren finally spoke her truth in a 2014 interview with People Magazine. She opened up to undergoing “intensive therapy.” In fact, she still checks in with her therapist on a weekly basis. “In the beginning, you tamp down the animosity for the kids’ sake,” Nordegren said. “I’m not going to deny that I went through the wringer. But I don’t think I doubted we’d end up here. That was always my dream, that the kids can have two loving parents that show respect for each other. And I feel that’s what they have.”<\/h6>\n

Nordegren attended night classes in 2005, and since then, she graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida in 2014. She worked hard for this and received the Outstanding Senior Award in psychology. According to the Orlando Sentinel, the award was given after earning a 3.96 GPA. She shared to a newspaper in 2014, “I want to continue to study and learn, but I am not exactly sure how yet. My passion has always been psychology, but my interests continue to broaden.” She also talked about the fact that she wasn’t very involved in campus life saying, “I was always a little too old for the frat parties.”<\/h6>\n

So Much has Changed<\/h2>\n

Once Nordegren had graduated, she was also selected to speak at her graduation. This was when she was finally able to move on and even make a few lighthearted jabs about her divorce from Woods and the media’s obsession with the hullaballoo. “When I entered my student advisor office in the fall of 2005, I was 25 years old, I had just recently moved to America, I was married without children,” she said to Us Weekly. “Today, nine years later, I’m a proud American, and I have two beautiful children – but I’m no longer married.” Her witty remarks continued, “It was right after I had taken [a class in] communications and the media that I was unexpectedly thrust into the media limelight.” She added, “I probably should have taken more notes in that class!”<\/h6>\n

She Could Not Stand His Ex<\/h2>\n

Even though Woods cheated on her with many women, Nordegren allegedly had difficulty accepting the fact that Woods had moved on from their divorce. In fact, this Swedish beauty was allegedly mad when the golfer started dating Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn in 2013. “(Elin) hates Lindsey Vonn and everything about this romance,” an unnamed source told Us Weekly. According to the article, things were so tense between Vonn and Nordegren that she didn’t the kids\u2019 father to have visitation rights.<\/h6>\n

Even after this new relationship ended, the situation didn’t change much between the two women. Woods was a self-proclaimed sex addict, and he broke up with Vonn in 2015 after he allegedly cheated on her too. In 2016, Page Six reported how event organizers of a Kentucky Derby party were asked to seat the two ladies apart The source shared to the tabloid magazine, “The staff was being told over a walkie-talkie that Lindsey was on her way over and must be put in a different area from Elin.” Like the old adage says: old feuds die hard.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

She Has Moved On<\/h2>\n

Nordegren had gotten a large sum from their divorce settlement and part of the $100 million was allocated to construct a mansion in North Palm Beach, Florida. The home faces the beach and has nine bedrooms, a home theater, mini-golf course, and a lavish pool to boot. There\u2019s also a lot of space for her two children: daughter Sam born in 2007, and son Charlie born in 2009. The youngest was born just months before the infidelity scandal rocked the world. The Daily Mail reported that she bought the property for $12 million. But she also had the house demolished and rebuilt. She said that it had been “riddled with rot.” Then, some of the original structure when to charity, the Habitat for Humanity. She allowed them to salvage what they could before she had it down.<\/h6>\n

Sources say that Nordegren is fond of the finer things in life. This may be true because in recent years, the 37-year-old has also been linked to billionaire and coal tycoon Chris Cline. The couple also has had a tumultuous history and they finally split in 2014 after a year of dating. After, they were again spotted kissing on the ski slopes in St. Moritz, Switzerland in March 2016. Cline, the new man, is worth $1.86 billion. He owns multiple coal mines and has a luxury yacht named Mine Games. She certainly found the perfect way to bounce back from the fall.<\/h6>\n

She and Tiger Have Made Up<\/h2>\n

Woods is an admitted serial cheater. He said that he has had affairs with numerous women while he was married to Nordegren. But now, as he told Time magazine, his ex-wife is one of his “best friends.” He talked more about that statement when he appeared as a guest on The Late Show in 2016. Stephen Colbert, the show\u2019s host, questioned how that was possible considering how it ended. Woods, 41, answered, “It becomes two simple things, okay? We have Sam and we have Charlie. And we love them so much that we are going to whatever it takes to make that work. That’s how it happened.”<\/h6>\n

While there has been a lot of pain and anguish in the relationship, it seems as if Nordegren feels the same way about Tiger. She values their friendship now and sees him as an important part of her life. She told People in 2014, “I have moved on and I am in a good place. My relationship with Tiger is centered around our children and we are doing really good – we really are – and I am so happy that this is the case, he is a great father.” Clearly, they have both matured from the experience.<\/h6>\n

Working Hard on Communicating<\/h2>\n

There was a major fallout in the relationship that stemmed from cheating, but the former couple has managed to find new ways of dealing with the changes and making their relationship work. It all, according to both, comes down to communication. “In hindsight, it’s not how I would change 2009 and how it all came about. It would be having a more open, honest relationship with my ex-wife,” Woods said in 2015. “Having the relationship that I have now with her is fantastic… We’re able to pick up the phone, and we talk to each other all the time. We both know that the most important things in our lives are our kids. I wish I would have known that back then.”<\/h6>\n

Woods further talked about their new dynamic. He said, “When it comes down to it, right down to it, it’s just having a more open, honest relationship with my ex-wife when we were married.\u201d He also explained, “Our frustrations would have come out if we had talked about it and been open and honest with each other. Which we are now, and it’s absolutely fantastic.” It may have taken time, but both admit to being in a much better place now.<\/h6>\n

The rumor mill started spinning once more on August 2016. Us Weekly reported that Nordegren had gone out on a date with Gavin Rossdale, the Bush front man. It was at that time that the rocker was also reeling from his divorce with Gwen Stefani. According to the tabloid, the date happened in Los Angeles. However, details were scarce. Weekly said that the said date went so well that the pair wanted to make things work for them.<\/h6>\n

Apparently, the news was nothing but rumors. Rossdale eventually talked about it in March 2017. He spoke to The Sun and said that while he had indeed been texting her, they actually had never met in person. “A friend was, like, ‘You have to meet Elin. She’s amazing.’ He was trying to connect us,” Rossdale said. “So I texted her a couple of times to say hello. She lives in Florida. She’s a really great girl. But I’ve never met her.” So, that was it.<\/h6>\n

Run-In with the Law<\/h2>\n

Nordegren was known to be notoriously private. She stayed mum about her love life and her struggles. However, she popped up in the news for the first time after a long period of time in March 2017. The story, unfortunately wasn’t good. The Miami Herald reported that she was pulled over by police for speeding along the Palm Beach County city of Riviera Beach. It was reported that she was driving 57 mph in a 35 mph zone. She got a big fine too, and had to pay $281 for it.<\/h6>\n

When it comes to getting speeding tickets, this wasn\u2019t Nordegren’s first rodeo. In fact, the Herald reported and said, “She was caught driving 9 mph over the speed limit in North Palm Beach in 2012 and elected to attend driving school.” This reported ticket happened just months before her Tiger Woods made international headlines once more because he fell asleep behind the wheel and got arrested for a DUI. Nordegren didn\u2019t comment about both incidents at all. She remained silent and refused to share her story to the media.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

She Downsized Her Home<\/h2>\n

In March 2018, Nordegren decided to sell her North Palm Beach, Florida mansion and put it on the market. A spokesman spoke to The Wall Street Journal about it and reported that she did this because she simply wanted to downsize her home, and understandably so. The custom-built estate may be beautiful and breathtaking, but it is also over 10 times the size of the average new-construction house. It comes 11 bedrooms, 15 full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms. The home is on more than one acre of beachfront, which is just the main house. The sprawling estate also has a separate cabana house, complete with a bar and summer kitchen, and a separate guesthouse that\u2019s split into two apartments.<\/h6>\n

Luxurious Home<\/h2>\n

Nordegren is now a single mother of two. With the Florida home, one can only imagine how many rooms were actually used. And we can all assume that it wasn\u2019t all. While the house was elegantly and expensively decorated by Angela Reynolds, a celebrity interior designer, the home may have felt more cavernous than cozy because not too many people were living in it. There will be someone with $49.5 million who will willingly spend for the property.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

She Sold Her Condo Too<\/h2>\n

Just two months after she listed her almost $50 million estate, Nordegren also decided to sell her condominium found in Juno Beach, Florida. The Blast reported on this.\u00a0It was said that she allegedly purchased the condo soon after her relationship with Tiger Woods ended in 2011. During that difficult time in her life, it was believed that she paid close to $1.1 million for the 1,866 square foot home. Apparently, this two-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom property apparently wasn’t the downsize she really had in mind.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a Long Process<\/h2>\n

So, Nordegren wanted to enjoy a big profit on the condo. In 2017, she set her original sale price to $2.4 million. After a while, she decided to cut the price even further and took off $200,000 off the sale price. It was still too expensive and she was unable to get a proper negotiation for it. By May 2018, she finally saw her luck turn and sold the condo for over $1.9 million. She was able to make a whopping $855,000 in profit. While the price was reduced, what she earned was still no laughing matter.<\/h6>\n

She Went Back to School<\/h2>\n

While it\u2019s been established that Nordegren chooses to live a considerably private life, she\u2019s not what she says is a “woman with no words.” She had something to say and she proved this during her commencement speech in 2014. While she doesn\u2019t have a prolific online presence, it doesn’t mean she’s not doing anything or is going places. In fact, Nordegren’s spokesman said that while Woods was prepping for the Masters, Nordegren was also working towards her academic master’s, a title of a much different kind than that of her ex-husband\u2019s.<\/h6>\n

Nordegren had graduated from Rollins College in 2014. After that, she decided to continue her education. As of March 2018, she was on her way to getting a master’s degree in psychology by May 2018. This was according to a reliable source. If she did graduate in the spring, that also means she is much closer to accomplishing her lifelong dream of becoming a child psychologist. For someone who has all the luxuries, she certainly has done everything to make a name for herself.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

She Drives Fast on the Road<\/h2>\n

Everyone is guilty of a vice, and Nordegren’s just happens to be speeding. On Super Bowl Sunday 2018, TMZ reported how the cops gave the former Mrs. Woods a ticket while she drove her 2015 Cadillac. She was caught going 95 miles per hour on a 65-mile-per-hour stretch of Florida highway. Officials spoke to TMZ and said that her speed was captured by the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP). \u201cIt’s just one more method that we use to assure that people obey and respect the speed limits on our state roads,” FHP spokesman Joe Sanchez said NBC Miami. The pilot of the aircraft that caught her vehicle assesses the speed with the help of a calibrated stopwatch and then informs a trooper on the ground.<\/h6>\n

On February 4, Nordegren was fined $356. This was reported by TMZ. The Blast also further reported on the incident and said that her attorney pleaded “no contest” in a later court hearing. However, the judge allegedly ordered Nordegren to attend Driver Improvement School because of this. This would mean that it\u2019s actually her second time to go back to driving school. Clearly, while Tiger was addicted to women, she enjoyed speed to the same degree.<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

She Gave Up a Glamorous Career<\/h2>\n

Right before she and Woods got together, Nordegren was actually working at a clothing store in Stockholm, Sweden. This was where she met Mia Parnevik, the wife of pro-golfer Jesper Parvenik. Nordegren left this job to become a nanny for the couple’s children in Florida. This was where she met Woods.\u00a0Before leaving Sweden, however, she also caught the attention of famous photographer named Bingo Rimer. In 2000, Nordegren posed in a bikini for the cover of a Swedish magazine. This was the last time she was spotted modeling.<\/h6>\n

So, is she a model or a former model? Nordegren’s spokesman wanted to clear the matter once and for all. The Wall Street Journal was privy to the news and the spokesperson said that she is “no longer modeling.” After she got an alleged $100 million divorce settlement, she wouldn’t exactly have to go look for any kind of work. She just went to school to pursue a passion, but it\u2019s clear that she wouldn\u2019t be in dire need of money any time soon.<\/h6>\n

Nordegren hasn\u2019t said anything about her relationship with Woods since her interview with People in 2014. But as they say, when it\u2019s silent on one end, then nothing bad has happened. But her comments back then hinted that things were headed to a better direction She may be remaining quiet now, but sources say that both are just fine.\u00a0 “They’re friends now,” People reported Woods’ friend as saying this. “Everything that happened in the past is in the past. They both decided to be adults and to do what was best for the kids.” The insider also said how Woods only has nice things to say about his her and said that he “never complains about her, ever” and, instead, uses “glowing terms” when talking about Nordegren.<\/h6>\n
