Lindsey Vonn is dating actor Alexander Ludwig: upgrade from Tiger Woods?

Lindsay Vonn leaves Craig's restaurant with a friend

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, 31, whom you may recognize as Tiger Woods’ ex-girlfriend, was spotted over the weekend out and about with Canadian actor Alexander Ludwig, 23. Lindsay and Alexander were seen leaving a paparazzi-friendly restaurant in West Hollywood over the weekend. Alexander played Cato in 2012’s The Hunger Games and is currently seen on the History Channel series Vikings.

Lindsey dated golfer Tiger Woods for three years after his tumultuous split with Elin Nordegren. She told CNN after their relationship ended last May that she harbored no ill will toward Tiger, despite the fact she later admitted that dating the reputed lothario wasn’t “the smartest move.” She told the news network,

“I mean, I loved him and I still love him. I had an amazing three years with him but, you know, sometimes things just don’t work out and unfortunately it didn’t work out for us. I don’t have any regrets and I think we’re both in a pretty good place.”

She really didn’t need to be that diplomatic, did she? But I guess it’s nice that she opted to take the high road. Taking a gander at Alexander, it does look like Lindsey is definitely in a very good place. I dig that she’s dating younger – not that age really matters anymore.

Lindsey works out constantly, even when she’s on vacation. She recently Instagrammed the video below. All I have to say is more power to her.

So happy to be on vacation but we’re still in the gym!! #ruleyourself @underarmourwomen #vacationgrind

    She’s a great athlete but fame has turned her to the dark side.

    My right hand is an upgrade from Tiger Woods!

    Had no idea who he was. Haven’t gotten through the first season of Vikings yet, so have not seen him. Maybe it will be better that she is not dating someone who is as infamous as Tiger is.

      he is AWESOME on Vikings.

    • Malificent says:

      Alexander doesn’t show up until the second season (and he is awesome — Lindsey picked a good actor). He plays Ragnar and Lagertha’s son, Bjorn, who is played by a child actor in the first season. In the second season, they move the story forward several years and older Bjorn is played by Alexander.

    Mhm I remember this guy keeps getting roles as an “actor” because his dad is the chairman of Lionsgate. I actually forgot she dated Tiger Woods, other than that meh for both of them.

    • detritus says:

      Interesting. He seemed unknown, and to be frank, his acting isn’t as good as the others.
      Since the others include Travis Fimmel, who’s first season basically consisted of giving sex eyes to everyone and no other expression, I couldn’t get it.

      Nepotism makes sense. And Fimmel is WAY better now, so maybe Bjorn will shape up too.

    She looks strikingly like a young Lita Ford in these photos.

    Mm mmm mmm What a Move Girl, what.a.move! 👌🏾👌🏾

    She could be dating a turnip and it would be an upgrade. I like the way he looks. “Vikings” is a playground for my eyes. (and a really good TV show).

    My husband has me watching Vikings. IMO it’s a soft-porn soap for men – based on vikings in the middle ages but according to this version, all the women are above average to hot, have power, some are even warriors and soldiers…even leaders of regimes, and everybody has sex with everybody and they are all tatted up. I’m trying to take it serious, but that’s challenging considering women were property back then, had no power, and were not hot – like most were lucky to still have all their teeth in their 30’s. But I’m trying.

      Um…I’m not entirely certain of where you’ve got your historical information from. Vikings is certainly dramatic and sexed up, like many recent historical adaptations, but you’re being a little unfair in your critique. There is some archaeological evidence of female Viking warriors, and even outside of battle, they were hardly chained in their kitchens. There’s a fair amount of information about the kind of legal rights and protections Viking women enjoyed, and that’s only one era of time. Have women’s rights been restricted across history? Yes, but we have been leaders, priests, historians, artists and medical practitioners from the beginning of time and to have a blanket statement that they *all* “had no power and were property” is grossly inaccurate and misleading (the view that women have been forever confined within a tiny domestic sphere, especially amongst the upper-classes, only really flourished under Victorian romanticism of history, which was the time when our lifestyles had adapted through technology and other comforts to make such an existence possible). As for the teeth, the idea of historical figures with rotting mouths was only really prevalent with the arrival of sugar, which damaged teeth as much then as it does today (which I believe was only after the Viking era, and even then, was mainly accessible only to the wealthy – your average Elizabethan peasant, for instance, would have had far better teeth than their queen). Not only that, but people actually did make an effort to keep their breath smelling sweet and their bodies clean, if not through the methods that we would regard as normal/healthy today. History’s far more wide and complex than our stereotypes of the different eras would portray.

    Almost anyone is an upgrade from tiger Woods.

    HA! He has a type. I always was under the impression that he had a crush on Katheryn Winnick who plays his mother on the show and Lindsey and she look alike.
