Ivana Trump, the first wife of President Donald Trump and the mother of his three children, has died, her family said. He was 73 years old. In a statement to the Daily Beast, her family called the former model “an incredible woman: a powerhouse in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and a caring mother and friend.”
“Ivana Trump survived,” they continued. “He left communism and embraced this country. She taught her children courage, perseverance, compassion and perseverance. “He will be greatly missed by his mother, three children and ten grandchildren.”
At this time, neither the Trump family’s statement nor Donald Trump’s personal statement has revealed the cause of Ivana’s death. The former president posted the news of his ex-wife’s death on the social media platform Truth Social, saying: “It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Ivana Trump to all who loved her, including many others. “His home is in New York.”
Her children, who mourn the loss of their mother, remember her as “a remarkable woman, a business force, a world-class athlete, a stunning beauty and a caring mother and friend.”
“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump,” the family said in a statement. He left communism and embraced this country. Donald Trump and Ivana Trump were married in 1977 and divorced in 1992 and had three children: Donald Jr., Ivana and Eric.
Ivana’s last husband, Rossano Rubicondi, died last year. She told People at the time that she was “completely devastated” by the Italian actor’s death.
The divorce battle between Ivana and Donald in the 1990s was the stuff of tabloid dreams, with the two sides waging war through the gossip columns of New York newspapers. In her 2017 book Raising Trump, Ivana revealed how she found out Donald had cheated on her.
“This young blonde suddenly came up to me and said, ‘I’m Marla and I love my husband.’ And you?” he wrote. “I thought, ‘Get lost.’ I love my husband.’ I was shocked because it didn’t belong to a woman.
On Thursday, the former president took to Truth Social to break the news of his ex-wife’s death. “It is with great sadness that I inform everyone, including the many who loved her, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York,” he said. “She was an amazing, beautiful, wonderful woman who lived an amazing and inspiring life.”
Ivana never forgave Marla Maples for stealing her husband. After this relationship, Maples and Donald Trump married in 1993. In his memoirs, Ivan described the experience as “going through hell” and left him “deeply scarred”.
“I’m not saying Donald and I would still be together if it weren’t for Showgirls. My life since my divorce hasn’t been one big adventure full of love, travel, success and laughter,” she said. . “I’ve had a fantastic life.”
Two years after the divorce, Ivana married the Italian businessman Riccardo Mazzucelli, but the union lasted more than two years. She had a long-term relationship with Italian Count Roffredo Gaetani dell’Aquila, who died in 2005. She married Rubicondi in 2008 after six years of dating. According to People, their $3 million wedding was officiated by the future president of the Mar-a-Lago Club.
Ivana and Rubicondi broke up within a year, but she said the split was “amicable” and the pair had an on-again, off-again relationship until 2019. Rubicon’s death last October “devastated” Ivana, who was given permission by her parents to keep half of his ashes. Rossanos told People that she cared for her son during the final years of the former model’s secret battle with liver cancer.
