“
Ivana Trump, the ex-wife of Donald Trump, has died suddenly at the age of 73 in New York City.
“
Ivana Trump was the first wife of the former US president, with Trump paying tribute on his social media platform Truth Social.
“
She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.”
“
Ivana grew up under Communist rule in the former Czechoslovakia and married Trump, who was her second husband, in 1977.
“
The couple divorced in 1992 in what was a very public split.
“
Their marriage broke down after it was discovered the former president was having an affair with Marla Maples, who would later become his second wife.
“
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!”
