Tiger Woods' ex Rachel Uchitel reveals she's dating a new mystery man and why she's keeping him a secret

Rachel Uchitel has a new man in her life, but has yet to reveal his identity after months of dating.

After not having luck with men in the past and being caught in the middle of scandals, the 49-year-old TV personality is ready for another chance at love in hopes of getting married a third time.

One of the reasons she moved to Palm Beach over a year ago was for the opportunity to find love in a change of scenery.

Fast-forward a few months after her big move, and she already found someone new – someone she's been dating for 'four or five months,' but met 'two and a half years ago,' she revealed to DailyMail.com exclusively.

Rachel recently went on vacation with her mystery man to the British Virgin Islands, where she stayed at the luxury hotel Oil Nut Bay. She teased a picture of him when she posted a photo of his feet next to hers as they sat on a cabana-like bed that overlooked the ocean.

'For the first time, I'm in — I don't want to get too much into it — but in a relationship that feels very real and different,' she spilled while on her getaway.

'And that's something that I've struggled with. I was on Celebrity Rehab for love addiction, for things that I get into [like] bad relationships or relationships that don't work.

'For me, this is finally I've met someone that I think is different and makes me feel different. So that's been another amazing thing as well.'

'I haven't felt like this for a long time,' she gushed.

Rachel's new beau is 'around' her age, is not a public figure, and is originally from somewhere in the Midwest, but has lived in Palm Beach for many years.

When asked what's holding her back from going public with him, she shared, 'He would reveal his identity in 30 seconds. It's more about me — I mean, to be honest with you, wanting to protect him. Because there's a lot that comes with dating me and there's a lot of privacy that gets robbed of him when that is revealed. And I just kind of want to protect him and his kids and his businesses and his life.

'I just want to protect that for as long as I can because it's really nobody else's business, but it's not like I'm not proud of him or he's not. He would love to be putting stuff out there and sharing things as much as I would let him but I hold him back.'

Rachel 'would love to finally be married' again, but isn't putting a timeline on it.

'All I know is I want to find the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with, and when you find that person, you want the rest of your life to start, you want to be with that person,' she said.

'So I would love to have that sort of validation of an engagement or a wedding that I know that this is my person and I'm theirs.'

Rachel was previously engaged to James Andrew O'Grady, who tragically died during the September 11 attacks. Before her engagement, she was married to Wall Street trader Steven Ehrenkranz for four months in 2004.

Her second marriage was with former football player Matt Hahn and it lasted three years. The couple divorced in 2014 and they are now co-parenting their daughter, Wyatt Lily, amicably.

Before this, she notoriously had an affair with Tiger Woods in 2009 while he was still married to Elin Nordegren, as well as an affair with actor David Boreanaz in 2010.

'I've had really bad luck or circumstance since my father died when I was 15 in a tragic way, and then my fiancé was killed when I was 26, so losing the two men who you feel like you've learned unconditional love from, I think has really changed the course of how I had relationships,' she explained. 'It's been very difficult for me.'

Now, Rachel told DailyMail.com that she's finally in a place where she's happy. 'Having a person who is a witness to my life and a teammate and someone who really loves me is a huge priority for me.'

Another of the podcast host's famous exes is Paul 'PK' Kemsley, estranged husband of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley.

Rachel had a relationship with PK when she worked as a nightclub manager years ago. In a 2023 interview with Behind the Velvet Rope podcast, she told host David Yontef, 'He would come in with his friends from London and New York and sometimes Dubai, and he would spend some money, and I would help him with his clients. We developed a friendship over a year.'

He soon 'became [her] No. 1 bottle service customer' and would spend 'over a million dollars' on alcohol at her nightclubs, she claimed.

The English businessman is now going through a public separation from Dorit after nine years of marriage. They welcomed two children together: Jagger, 10, and Phoenix, 8. Their split is playing out on RHOBH, in which the reality star claimed that he's a 'full-blown alcoholic' and said that they would get into 'toxic' fights.

'I never knew him as being an alcoholic or anything like that. He spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the nightclub, but that was to have a good time. That wasn't to drink. I mean, he was buying it for the rest of the patrons, for his friends, for all of us,' Rachel told DailyMail.com.

'I never saw him as a big drinker. I've never actually seen him drunk, to be honest with you. So for him, maybe that's a metaphor of cleaning up his act and not doing all those things. But maybe he became somebody who drank a lot. I don't know. I haven't been in this life in over... I would say in 15 years.'

The entrepreneur went on to call PK a 'great human being' and a 'good guy.'

'Going through a divorce is never easy on anyone. So, obviously. I wish him and Dorit peace and happiness. I know that's hard, especially when you have kids,' she continued.

'I do know he has three amazing kids from his first wife that I don't know that they get the attention or recognition that they deserve as his children, to be honest with you, and that always made me sad for him.'

PK was married to Loretta Gold of England for nine years and they have three children together: Atlanta, Tatum and Daniel.

Rachel said that his kids from his first marriage, at the time, were 'the most important thing to him.'

'All he talked about and thought about, even when we were in Vegas and those doing all those things, those kids were on his mind all the time. He needed to get back to London to be with them,' she said.

Rachel, for her part, is focused on her 12-year-old daughter and her podcast, Miss Understood. 'My goal would be that when something happens and someone feels misunderstood, I would love for them to be calling us. We are in the incoming phone call business, but when really big scandals happen or things on the news, I would love for those people to be calling me and saying, I need to get on your podcast. I want to share my story. I feel misunderstood.'
