In the aughts, golf star Tiger Woods' split from his wife Elin Nordegren rocked the world.
Most people knew Nordegren because of her infamous divorce from Woods and his infidelity that ultimately destroyed their marriage.
My dishonesty and selfishness caused her intense pain.
Elin and I tried to repair the damage I had done, but we couldn’t."
Ultimately, the Stockholm native has undergone quite a transformation through it all.
Their parents' efforts to give their twins their own identities surely helped to shape who they became.
“Everybody knew that red equals Elin and blue equals Josefin.
They cut our hair differently and put [us] in different classes.
Today I appreciate that they did that,” she explained.
In addition to Josefin, Elin also has a brother, Axel Nordegren.
“They stuffed us into a little Fiat Panda and drove all around Europe as often as possible.”
Elin was only seven years old when her parents called it quits.
“Despite the split, I feel like the base was still there,” she told People.
Still, she doesn’t consider herself a model, per se.
“I did some modeling when I was younger,” she told People.
“I was never very successful at it, and I didn’t intend to pursue it.
As an adult, in addition to modeling, Nordegren started nannying for Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik’s kids.
Nordegren wasn’t looking for romance at the time.
In 2004, the couple tied the knot in Barbados.
“I was unfaithful.
What I did was not acceptable,” Woods said, perESPN.
It’s up to me to start living a life of integrity.”
Nordegren recalled that time as being particularly nightmarish.
“I’ve been through hell.
You’re struggling because it wasn’t real,” she said.
“But I survived.
It was hard, but it didn’t kill me.”
After her divorce, Nordegren went to school, earning a degree in psychology from Rollins College in 2014.
She went on to become a mental health counselor.
In addition to her career accomplishments, Nordegren moved on romantically after her difficult divorce.
She reportedly dated businessman Jamie Dingman, as well as entrepreneur Chris Cline.
Cameron had just retired from the NFL after enduring multiple concussions.
Two years later, things had moved along nicely and the couple was expecting a baby.
The couple welcomed their son Arthur in October 2019, followed by daughters Zeta and Freya.
“She has that now.”
Today,Tiger Woods and Nordegren’s relationshipis much happier than it once was.
“Tiger and Elin are truly in a great place,” a source toldUs Weekly.
Another source told People that the exes have made peace and moved on from the wreckage of their marriage.
“Everything that happened in the past is in the past.
“So they get along really well.
Tiger says really great things about Elin.
He never complains about her, ever.
The kids love them both.”
