Lindsey Vonn has recently become very close friends with boyfriend Tiger Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, according to an unlikely new report.

The reason? One insider says that Elin Nordegren, 34, originally wanted to get to know Lindsey Vonn, 29, because she’d around her children a lot.

Which actually does make sense. The Swedish model and her pro golfer ex-husband, 38, have two kids together, daughter Sam, 6, and son Charlie, 5.

The surprising part? "After meeting her, she found she actually liked her," an insider says of Nordegren, who finalized her divorce from Woods in 2010.

"You’d think it would be weird, but Elin loves Lindsey and the two of them talk all the time," the source adds. "Elin likes that Lindsey is a strong woman."

The source adds that the three went on vacation together, where the women took off on their own to grab drinks together, while Woods stayed with the kids.

 

Anyone else having fun picturing that modern family situation?

"Lindsey is really good for Tiger. She’s strong, opinionated, and keeps him in line," the source explains. "Elin found that they are very similar and have a lot in common."

"They laugh and talk like they have been girlfriends forever."

Vonn confirmed she is dating Tiger Woods in March 2013, months after they were first linked. Since then, they’ve kept a low profile but are going strong.

Sounds like everything worked out well for all involved … with the exception of the massive cheating scandal that led to this whole thing of course.
