The pair reportedly met on Bumble 3 years ago but only began dating about 8 months ago; Donovan was involved in the sports industry before becoming a security consultant and creating several companies

Tiger Woods’ romance with TV presenter and podcast host Rachel Uchitel fizzled out long ago, but the pair can’t seem to escape association. Mere days after Woods confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump – Donald Trump Jr’s ex-wife – on Instagram, Uchitel announced her engagement on the same platform.

The man who got down on one knee for Uchitel was Dan Donovan, who proposed to her at a beachfront property in Montecito, California – reportedly the luxe Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel. Uchitel appears more than happy with her 10.25 carat radiant-cut sparkler in the celebratory photos she posted on Instagram, one of which showed her sharing a kiss with her now-fiancé.
