The former president announced her death on Truth Social, the social-media platform created by his tech company. “I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away,” he wrote. “She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.
Ivana and Donald had three children together: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. They finalized their divorce in 1992 following Donald’s affair with Marla Maples and a well-documented legal battle over their prenups. After her marriage, Ivana launched several business endeavors, including clothing, jewelry, and beauty lines, and an advice column for Globe called “Ask Ivana.” She also published four books, including a self-help book and a 2017 autobiography about raising her children with Donald.
According to Ivana, she and her ex-husband remained on good terms during his presidency. She said in 2017 that she had a “direct number” to the White House, calling herself “First Lady.” In 2018, she dismissed the controversy regarding her husband reportedly calling several African countries “shitholes,” saying that he “says things that are silly” but is “definitely not racist.”
In a statement, the Trump family called Ivana “a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend.” The statement continued, “Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination.”
