Ivana Trump, the former US president’s first wife and mother of three of his children, has died aged 73, the Republican billionaire announced on Thursday.
“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 praised the “formidable” life of this former cross-country skier and model of Czech origin, who was his wife from 1977 to 1992.
“His pride and joy came from his three children, Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric,” he said. “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.
In a statement to AFP, New York police said they went to Ivana Trump’s apartment after calling the 911 emergency number and finding her “unconscious and unresponsive”. His death does not appear to be of “criminal origin”, said the police.
In October 2017, a few months after the installation of Donald Trump in the White House, Ivana Trump had published Raising Trump (Raising the Trumps), a book in which she recounted having taught her children “the value of money, not to lie, cheat or steal, respect for others”. After Ivana, Donald Trump married actress Marla Maples, with whom he had a second daughter, Tiffany. He has been married since 2005 to Melania Trump, mother of 16-year-old Barron.
