Ivana Trump, former president's first wife, dies at 73

Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s first wife, has died at age 73, the family announced Thursday.

She died at her home in New York City, the former president said in a post on Truth Social. The Trump family’s statement called her an “incredible woman.”

“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,” the statement said.

“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.”

She grew up in the former Czechoslovakia under communist rule and left in the 1970s. She married her second husband, Trump, in 1977.

The couple had three children together and divorced in 1992 after 15 years of marriage. The Czech-born businesswoman and former model held several roles across the Trump family businesses, including serving as the former vice president of interior design for the Trump Organization.

“She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life,” Donald Trump said in his post. “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!”

Ivana Trump has been described as a “charismatic workaholic” and a “career woman” — working alongside her then-husband as they built the Trump empire. She took her business skills well beyond the Trump family organization, developing her own fashion and beauty lines. She also invested in real estate both in the U.S. and Europe, and authored multiple books. Both Trumps were hot topics in the media in the 1980s and beyond as the power couple’s wealth and role in New York’s social scene ballooned. They also had a messy and public divorce, spurred in part by Donald Trump’s affair with Marla Maples, whom he later married.
