Well, Tiger Woods went to rehab, but his wife Elin Nordegren is still consulting divorce lawyers, according to E! News. Elin has not spent a single day (or night) with Tiger since he returned from sex rehab. She has not appeared at any public events, including Tiger's re-entry into the golfing world at the Masters a few weeks ago. Since the publication of Tiger's ("alleged," but let's be serious) affairs, she and her children, along with the kids' nannies, have been living in a separate home close to the house she and Tiger shared in Orlando. Up until as late as March, rumors still swirled that Elin and Tiger might reconcile, but rumors that Tiger slept with their neighbor's 21-year-old daughter apparently sealed the deal.E! News learned this week that while Elin has been speaking with several lawyers about divorce possibilities in California and Florida, she will most likely file for divorce in Florida, where she and Tiger own multiple properties. "Elin is over Tiger," says a source close to Elin. "Time to get her house in order."
While their prenup reportedly gives Elin only $20 million if she stays in the marriage for 10 years (they married in 2004), her legal team is working on "sweetening the deal." There are unconfirmed reports that Tiger offered her a revised prenup-$100 million total-to keep her happy and stable should they divorce. With the amount of assets between Tiger and Elin, and the addition of their two kids into the mix, it will likely take over a year for the divorce to go through. However, considering Tiger was the one who cheated, he's likely to have to shell out big money in any divorce proceedings.
Most of the world is rooting for Elin, but some celebrities are siding with Tiger. "Nobody is perfect, and everybody makes mistakes," rapper Snoop Dogg told a Los Angeles newspaper. "So let's let him get his life back with his wife and move on."
Tiger, however, is still trying to make amends. "This situation is my fault, and it's obviously embarrassing to my family and me," Woods, 33, said on his official website. "I'm human and I'm not perfect. I will certainly make sure this doesn't happen again."
In the immortal (if paraphrased) words of Rihanna: Tiger, we know you're only sorry because you got caught.
