Elin said she had to "tamp down the animosity" at the beginning.

He said: "We have Sam, and we have Charlie. And we love them so much that we are going to do whatever it takes to make that work.
“That’s how it happened. I’ve talked to her about so many different things, and she does the same thing with me back and forth. We communicate so much better now, it’s incredible.
"I wish we would have done that earlier on, but it’s been incredible to have a best friend like that.”
Elin remarried in 2019 to former NFL player Jordan Cameron, who she had her third child with the same year.
Tiger has not remarried but is in a relationship with restaurant manager Erica Herman, who he has been with since 2017.
