Elin Nordegren

Best known as Tiger Woods's stunning and fiercely guarded wife, Elin Nordegren found herself thrust into the very public spotlight after a fateful late-night car crash in 2009 exposed her husband's multiple infidelities – and double life.

Before the cheating scandal, Woods and Nordegren, a former bikini model and au pair, seemed like the perfect couple, living a quiet life in Florida with their two children, daughter Sam and son Charlie.

Introduced by Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik in the summer of 2001, Nordegren and Woods capped off their three-year courtship with a lavish, ultra-private wedding in Barbados.

But by 2010, Nordegren and the embattled golfer were living separate lives. Finally, after months of speculation, Nordegren and Woods confirmed their marriage was "irretrievably broken," and finalized their divorce in August 2010.
