Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayKai Trump gave an update on her mom, Vanessa Trump, after the latter underwent surgery as she continues to battle breast cancer.
“My mom’s doing good,” the 19-year-old exclusively told Page Six while walking the red carpet at the 2026 ESPY Awards at the Lincoln Center in New York City Wednesday.
“She’s doing better,” she added.
Kai appeared optimistic and flashed a grin while briefly talking about her mom, 48, at the star-studded event.
The recent high school graduate — who will be attending the University of Miami this fall and playing golf on the women’s collegiate team — stepped out wearing a gold dress with a high slit for the outing.
Kai accessorized her look with matching heels, a gold cuff, a watch, a diamond necklace and drop earrings.
Vanessa, meanwhile, announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer via a lengthy Instagram post in May.
“While this isn’t the news anyone expects, I’m working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan,” she wrote at the time. “I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids, and those closest to me.”
The former model appeared to be keeping her head up, as she was all smiles while shopping with Kai at a mall in West Palm Beach, Florida, a few weeks later.

The following month, Vanessa gave an update on her journey, revealing that she went under the knife and was in recovery.
“Over the past four weeks, I’ve been recovering from surgery, and I’m grateful to be healing and moving forward,” she said.
“Soon, I’ll be starting the second stage of my treatment,” the mom of five added, though she didn’t elaborate on the next steps.
Page Six exclusively reported that Vanessa’s boyfriend, Tiger Woods, whom she started dating in early 2025, was “staying focused” on being her rock.
“He’s proud of how positive she’s stayed and how she’s handling everything so far,” our insider shared. “She’s been so strong and he truly believes she’s going to be OK. He’s just trying to support her however he can right now.”
Vanessa was previously married to Donald Trump Jr., whom she shares Kai as well as kids Donald, 17, Tristan, 14, Spencer, 13, and Chloe, 11.
