Donald Trump’s ex-wife, Ivana Trump, passed away at 73 years old, the former president announced Thursday.
“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 via a post on Truth Social.
Their son Eric Trump also issued a statement on behalf of the Trump family.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump. Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend. Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren,” he said.
Ivana and Donald Trump were married 1977-1992 and had three children together — Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. During their marriage, she held top roles in the Trump Organization, and she developed clothing and beauty product lines after the divorce.
Ivana Trump was born in what is now the Czech Republic in 1949.
