Former President Donald Trump’s ex-wife Ivana Trump has passed away at age 73, according to a post from Trump on Truth Social.
“I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City. She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life. Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!,” Trump said.
Ivana Trump married Donald Trump in 1977 and held key managerial positions in the Trump Organization.
Their troubled marriage and divorce became the subject of worldwide public interest, as Donald Trump’s affair with Marla Maples became public, and their split was finalized in 1992.
Following the divorce, she developed her own lines of clothing, jewelry, and beauty products.
She was the author of several books, the latest called “Raising Trump,” and also wrote an advice column.
Before the release of “Raising Trump,” she spoke with ABC News and said she still spoke to her former husband about once every two weeks and that she had a “direct number” to the White House.
