IVana Trump, the former US president’s first wife and mother of three of his children, has died aged 73. “I am very sad to announce to all who loved her, and there were many, that Ivana Trump died at her home in New York,” Donald Trump wrote on his social network, Truth Social.
The former tenant of the White House hailed the “tremendous” life of this former cross-country skier and model of Czech origin, who was his wife from 1977 to 1992. “Her pride and joy came from her three children, Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric,” he assured. “Our mother was an incredible woman,” assured the Trump family in a press release, quoted by several American media. “She fled communism and adopted this country,” they point out.
