Former wife of Donald Trump Jr, 48-year‑old Vanessa Trump, has confirmed that she is free from breast cancer after a year of treatment.
Vanessa said in a short video posted to her daughter Kai’s Instagram that her most recent tests came back "clear," and that she is "finally cancer‑free".
The video, shared on Friday, teased a longer YouTube interview set for Saturday where Vanessa and Kai will discuss breast‑cancer awareness, prevention and early detection. Kai, who has 19 children, posted: "October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – a time to raise awareness about early detection, education and support for those affected by breast cancer."
Kai's post drew more than 20,000 likes and hundreds of encouraging comments, including from singer Mary Millben.
Vanessa first disclosed her diagnosis in a May social‑media post, noting she had undergone surgery and was working with her medical team on a treatment plan. She first learned of her condition in April.
According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in 8 American women will develop breast cancer, making it one of the most common cancers among women. Early surgery followed by chemotherapy, radiotherapy or endocrine therapy can reduce long‑term recurrence risks.
Advances in treatment now offer targeted therapies for early‑stage disease, new hormonal options and more precise radiotherapy approaches.
