Public divorces are often excruciatingly embarrassing, especially when adultery is at the heart of the matter. Just months after the birth of their son, Charlie Axel Woods, in 2009, Woods’ cheating scandal erupted, dominating headlines everywhere. There were reports, complete with evidence, suggesting that he had engaged in multiple affairs throughout their five-year marriage. In 2010, Woods came clean, admitting to ESPN that he had been “unfaithful” and that his actions were “unacceptable.”
For Elin, those years of living a lie had been pure torment. She described it as having “been through hell.” But when the dust settled, she walked away from the marriage with a $100 million settlement. The public largely sided with her, and this financial security has enabled her to provide a comfortable life for her children and pursue her own dreams. Today, she is not only a loving mother but also a respected professional in the field of mental health, inspiring others with her journey of resilience and renewal.
