Quotes from Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren Regarding Their Divorce and Marriage: “My Remorse Will Never Go Away”
When her ex-husband won the 2005 Masters, Nordegren was there to support him. “My partner and I are in this together. We handle problems as a staff because we are a staff. And I really do care for her,” he said to reporters at the time.
Since their initial encounter at the 2001 Open Championship, Tiger Woods and his ex-wife, Lin Nordegren, have experienced many ups and downs.
Two years after first meeting, the couple got engaged, marking the beginning of a promising love tale. After exchanging vows in October 2004, the couple welcomed their two children, a male named Charlie and a daughter named Sam.
But six years into their union, Woods’s involvement in a shocking cheating scandal caused everything to fall apart. After Woods came clean about his infidelity in the fall of 2009, the couple divorced in August of the same year.
Since then, both parties have moved on and found other relationships. Woods and Erica Herman began dating in 2017, but they broke up by the end of 2022. In June 2019, Nordegren declared that she had redone her love life with former NFL player Jordan Cameron, with whom she went on to have Arthur, Zeta, and Freya.
In March 2023, an exclusive insider told Us Weekly that “Tiger and Elin are actually in a terrific place.” “He’s been amazing with the kids, and that’s what really convinced her to become friends with Tiger.”

Before Easter, OJ Simpson was relaxing with a beer on a couch, according to his attorney. He passed away two weeks later.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Just before Easter, O.J. Simpson had a heated conversation with his longtime attorney at the country club house he leased southwest of the Las Vegas Strip.
Attorney Malcolm LaVergne remembered, “He was up, alert, and chilled,” on Tuesday. He’s relaxing on the sofa, sipping a beer, and watching television. That concluded our last productive back-and-forth exchange of ideas. We were just catching up on the news at the time because he typically keeps me informed.”
A physician declared that Simpson was “transitioning,” as LaVergne put it, on April 5, approximately one week later. When LaVergne was here last week, Simpson was barely able to get a drink of water and decided to watch a golf tournament on TV rather than a tennis match.
LaVergne stated in an interview with The Associated Press, “Of course he chose golf.” “He had a complete passion for golf.”
Following a prostate cancer diagnosis last year, Simpson passed away on April 10. He was seventy-six.
The next day, Simpson’s family posted on X, the previous Twitter platform, stating that Simpson had “passed away from his cancer struggle” while “surrounded by his children and grandchildren.” But according to LaVergne on Tuesday, only one individual—referred to by the lawyer as “a close family member”—was present when Simpson passed away. He refused to identify the person.
The lawyer said of Simpson’s surviving adult children from his first marriage, Arnelle Simpson, now 55, and Jason Simpson, 53, as well as the children he had with ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, 38, and Justin Simpson, 35, before she was killed in 1994, “you have to remember that they’ve shared O.J. with the world their entire lives.” In their social media statement, the family requested “privacy and grace” “during this time of transition.”
They first shared quality O.J. However, he remained well-known “LaVergne stated. “After that, starting in 1994, they were forced to publicly introduce the world to bad boy O.J. However, these kids have ultimately lost a parent. They also bear the additional burden of him being one of the world’s most well-known individuals, divisive, and the subject of debate.
Simpson’s estate executor, LaVergne, revealed specifics of his last encounters with the former football star, actor, sportscaster, TV pitchman, and famous murder defendant that he has defended since 2009.
In an effort to steer “from solemn to the sensationalism and the fun,” he sidestepped a question regarding a potential deathbed confession from Simpson. According to him, Simpson’s body will not be examined to determine whether his 11 years as an NFL running back caused persistent brain harm from potential head injuries.
According to LaVergne, “Mr. Simpson had communicated his wishes to his children.” “And therefore, they will carry out those desires.”
According to the lawyer, Simpson requested cremation and there was no immediate plan for a public tribute, pending his family’s decision.
LaVergne stated, “There have only been speculative discussions of a celebration of life (or) ceremony.”
Two days after Simpson’s passing, the lawyer filed his last will and testament in state court in Nevada, designating Simpson’s four children as the only heirs to his fortune. He noted that the family trust’s specifics had not yet been filed.
Simpson did not own a property in the states where he had resided, including Nevada, California, and Florida, according to the lawyer, who would not estimate the estate’s value. Accounts were still being totaled, he said.
In 1994, Simpson was famously cleared of accusations in criminal court that claimed he had fatally killed his ex-wife and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in Los Angeles. The 1996 Californian court proceedings were dubbed the “trial of the century.”A jury in a California civil court found Simpson guilty of the deaths in 1997.
After being convicted guilty of armed robbery in a 2007 incident at a casino-hotel with two dealers of memorabilia, Simpson was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2008 in Las Vegas.
Ever since his release from prison in October 2017, he has led a country club and golf lifestyle, occasionally posting sports-related content on social media. Wearing a San Francisco 49ers shirt, he sent out his final message on February 11th, predicting that his former team would defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. The Chiefs prevailed.
LaVergne admitted that Simpson passed away before giving the families of Goldman and Simpson’s deceased ex-wife the majority of the $33.5 million judgment that was granted to them in the 1997 civil responsibility lawsuit.
The Goldman family’s attorney, David Cook, stated on Tuesday that he believed the judgment payable today, including unpaid interest, to be in excess of $114 million.
After reversing himself last week, LaVergne announced that the Goldmans will not receive any of Simpson’s assets. On Tuesday, he stated that he thought the debt exceeded $200 million. Simpson’s assets won’t amount to much, he added.
“My homework will be available for them to see,” he declared, referring to the families of Goldman and Brown. “I want to show them what I have, but I want to warn them that if they think there’s something else out there, they’re going to have to use their own resources, including attorneys, to try to find that gold mine.”80’\
