Ivana Trump was a truly talented, creative and beautiful person. She contributed greatly particularly to New York. Remarkably, with all the massive distractions, she and President Donald J. Trump gave the world exceptionally good, balanced and decent children and grandchildren.

Meanwhile, Donald wrote on his Truth Social platform: ‘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!’

Ivana, born Ivana Marie Zelníčková, grew up in the former Czechoslovakia and moved to Canada in the 1970s, before settling in the US.

Ivana and Donald shared three children together: Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump.

Her death is not considered suspicious and she’s believed to have died of natural causes, according to officials.

Ivana worked as a senior executive within the Trump Organization for several years, before going on to start her own clothing, jewelry and beauty product lines after her divorce from Donald.

Donald was Ivana’s second husband. She was married to Alfred Winklmayr from 1971 to 1973, Riccardo Mazzucchelli from 1995 to 1997 and Rossano Rubicondi from 2008 to 2009.
