Lester Cohen/Getty ImagesAs we wait for a full accounting of the perplexing drama that's been playing out around Tiger Woods, one question seems to repeatedly get asked.
What's the story on Woods' beautiful wife, Elin Nordegren?
Even fans of the golf great don't know much about the blonde beauty. Up until last week, she had been as private as the much-photographed wife of a global star can be.
But sifting through the info out there, here are the five things you should know about her:
She's a twin! The Swedish beauty has an identical sister, Josefine, which should please fans of Nordegren's gorgeous good looks.
She worked as a nanny! Nordegren and her sister worked for pro golfer Jasper Parnevik, and it was through that job she eventually met Tiger Woods.
She thought Tiger was weird! The golf god first got a friend ask Nordegren out for him and she shot him down, according to a story in Sports Illustrated. "She thought it was so weird and pathetic. Of course she said no."
She got engaged on safari! After freaking out a ranger by wandering off on their own in the wilds of South Africa, Tiger and Elin not only returned safely but she also was sporting a massive engagement ring. "The diamond was half as big as my finger," the ranger told People at the time.
She gave birth to the couple's first child while Tiger was out playing golf! OK, so he was competing in the U.S. Open, but still…
In any case, the couple now have two beautiful children, Sam and Charlie, and for their sake we hope this all gets worked out for the best.
