The Olympic skier announced her relationship with the golfer in March 2013 and while his marriage to Elin Nordegren imploded in a barrage of revelations about his infidelity four years ago, Lindsey is confident their romance won’t go the same way.
When Minneapolis Star Tribune’s columnist C.J. asked her what makes her ‘confident that fidelity is part’ of the relationship, Lindsey replied. ‘Ah, I don’t know. That’s kind of a weird question. But, aah, I mean, you have to trust the person that you’re with and we’re happy and that’s all.’

not to cheat even though his marriage imploded after his infidelities
were revealed in 2009
The reporter’s full question was, ‘There’s little doubt that monogamy means a lot in a
devoted couple’s relationship. What is it about your new relationship that makes you confident that fidelity is part of the foundation?’
Lindsey, 29 – a dead ringer for the golfer’s ex-wife Elin – is his first serious girlfriend since the marriage ended.
The athletes formally announced their relationship to their more than six million combined followers on Twitter and Facebook with a series of professional photographs – and with an appeal for privacy.
Tiger, 37, wrote: 'Something nice that's happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn.
‘Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating. We thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy.

Speculation that the relationship was serious grew after Tiger sent his private jet to collect Lindsey after she was injured in a horrific crash on February 5 during the Alpine Ski World Championships in Austria.
The skier – who was married to former alpine ski racer Thomas Vonn from 2007 to 2013 - added: ‘I guess it wasn't a well-kept secret but yes, I am dating Tiger Woods.
‘Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy. I don't plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and close friends. Thank you for understanding and your continued support!’ she added.
Fall from grace: Woods had a spectacular fall from grace in 2009 when his extra-marital affairs exploded in headlines
Woods had a spectacular fall from grace in 2009 when his extra-marital affairs exploded in headlines.
The scandal erupted after a bizarre November 27 car crash outside his mansion in Windermere, Orlando, the day after The National Enquirer, linked him to New York party hostess Rachel Uchitel.
He admitted to a string of affairs with as many as 14 women coming forward to claim they had slept with him.
Among those who claimed to be his mistress were two adult film stars, a cocktail waitress and a waitress from his local pancake restaurant.
His wife got an estimated $100million settlement and custody of their two young children Sam and Charlie in the divorce.
