Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump, died Thursday at the age of 73. It was the former US president himself who announced the news on his social network Truth Social.
“I am deeply saddened to inform all who loved her, and there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York. She was a wonderful, beautiful, incredible woman who led an inspiring life,” the billionaire wrote. .
A highly publicized divorce
Born in Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic, editor’s note) in 1949, Ivana Trump was married to the Republican from 1977 to 1992. Together they had three children: Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric. As a socialite, she held various roles within the Trump Organization, including managing a Trump casino in Atlantic City.
After her highly publicized divorce from Donald Trump in the ’90s, she also had a media career writing several books and appearing on several reality shows. In one of her books published in 2017, she said that she had remained on good terms with her ex-husband, to the point of speaking with him once a week.
