The 48-year-old mother-of-five was dressed casually in a blue button-down, jeans and sandals as she and her 19-year-old daughter strolled through a shopping mall in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday. Kai was dressed similarly in flared blue jeans, a white camisole, a tan sweater and white sneakers. The two were seen chatting as they walked, with their hands in their pockets, showing off their painted pink fingernails before later linking their arms together in photos obtained by the Daily Mail. Sunday's outing marked the first time Vanessa was spotted out in public since she announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. Vanessa - the ex-wife of President Trump's eldest son, Don Jr. - made the admission in an Instagram post on Wednesday, saying she had undergone a 'procedure' earlier in the week.  'I want to share a personal health update. I've recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. While this isn't news anyone expects, I'm working closely with my medical team on a treatment plan,' she said. Vanessa added that she was grateful to her doctors for performing the procedure.  Vanessa Trump and her daughter, Kai, 19, were seen smiling as they strolled through a mall in West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday The mall trip marked Vanessa's first public outing since she announced she was diagnosed with breast cancer Vanessa and Kai dressed casually for the outing, both deciding to wear blue jeans 'I am staying focused and hopeful while surrounded by the love and support of my family, my kids and those closest to me. Thank you for your kindness and support, it truly means more than I can express.' She also asked for privacy while she focused on recovering. Vanessa was later noticeably absent as Kai, her eldest daughter with Don Jr, celebrated her graduation from high school later that day.  The teenager had posted an image to her own Instagram Stories, showing her alongside her mother while wearing her blue cap and gown.  'The strongest person I know,' she wrote on the image. She also shared a video that showed her getting ready for her big day, as her mother remarked: 'I can't believe she's graduating today.' Kai was seen in photos exclusively obtained by the Daily Mail meeting her grandmother, Bonnie Haydon, and aunt, Veronika Haydon, at celebrity hotspot The Mark in New York City for dinner.  The mother-and-daughter duo were seen chatting as they walked through the shopping center Vanessa wore a blue button-down, jeans and sandals for the mall trip while Kai wore flared blue jeans, a white camisole, a tan sweater and white sneakers The mall trip comes just days after Kai graduated from high school Vanessa's outing with her daughter came just one day after her ex Don Jr married Bettina Anderson in an intimate wedding.  The loved-up couple headed to the glamorous Bahamas after their Palm Beach ceremony for a sun-soaked event limited to their closest friends and family members, including Tiffany and Ivanka Trump. Don Jr’s president father was not in attendance at the Bahamas ceremony, but the couple is hoping to hold a third wedding celebration at the White House in the future, where Donald Trump and Melania Trump can attend, sources told People.  The couple's marriage certificate, obtained by the Daily Mail, shows that the president's eldest son and the glamorous socialite officially became husband and wife in a secret ceremony held at the West Palm Beach home of Anderson's sister, Kristina McPherson, on Thursday.  On Saturday, the new bride took to her Instagram Stories to share a look at their wedding bands along with a gushing message to Don Jr. She posted a black-and-white shot of their hands, with their understated silver rings on full display. 'Forever yours, forever mine,' she wrote with a white heart. She followed it up with a message that said: 'The whole point is to marry your best friend.' Don Jr proposed to Bettina Anderson over the holiday season and they were married on Saturday Bettina Anderson took to Instagram on Saturday to share a photo of her wedding ring alongside Don Jr Just a year after Don Jr's public split from newly minted Greek ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, he began dating Anderson before popping the question with a giant eight-carat diamond ring this past holiday season. The engagement news was revealed by his father, President Trump, during a Christmas White House reception, as the 47-year-old eldest son revealed he was unsure whether his new bride-to-be would actually accept his proposal as he got down on one knee. But she did - and it seems like Bettina already has approval from her new family. In April, Ivanka gushed over Bettina, posting intimate pictures of her bridal shower. In a handful of sweet photos posted to Instagram by Ivanka, Bettina smiled alongside her new family, which included sisters-in-law Ivanka, Tiffany, and Lara Trump, as well as her new niece, Ivanka and Jared Kushner's daughter, Arabella, 14. The ladies all posed together, smiling side by side, and laughing in another adorable snap.  The Trump ladies looked ready for spring as they stood alongside their new sister-in-law in an array of neutral–colored floral sundresses. 'Celebrated love, family, and new beginnings at Bettina's bridal shower this weekend,' Ivanka wrote in the caption of the photos. 'So grateful to share in this joyous moment with Arabella, Lara, and Tiffany (and of course Don Jr!),' the message read. In response, Bettina left a comment, writing: 'How blessed am I. So grateful for you girls,' along with a praying-hands emoji.

He had been charged with driving under the influence following a car crash near his home in Jupiter, Florida on March 27.  Police reportedly found prescription opioid pills in his possession at the time of the arrest, which he had been using to manage chronic injury pain. Woods has pleaded not guilty to DUI. The golfer has since left rehab early to attend Kai's graduation ceremony. And despite his arrest and rehab trip, a source has told People that she remains head over heels for Tiger. 'Vanessa and Tiger are in love, still serious, and happy to see each other,' the insider is quoted as saying. '[She] is eager to help him continue with his progress and move beyond any more public scandals — which they both dislike intensely.' The source added that Woods took his trip 'seriously' and is 'all about continuing his recovery and putting this chapter behind him.'  'He is in good spirits and also can't wait to put the legal issues to rest,' they said.
