Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's Ex-Wife, Has Died (Vanity Fair)

Ivana, a Czech-American socialite, businesswoman and former model was married to Donald Trump from from 1977 to 1992.

Not the Washington life and all that, just in New York or wherever they’re going to be and just live their normal lives. “I really don’t care.” She said that her ex was “not a good loser,” and that she wanted to her children “to be able to live their normal lives—normal lives. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children that we love and are very proud of. While Ivana largely stayed out of her ex-husband's most recent politics, she maintained a close relationship with him throughout his campaigns and presidency, and suggested to the New York Post that she informally advised him in 2016. Ivana Trump grew up in the former Czechoslovakia, before moving to Canada in the 1970s, where she became a model. She married Donald Trump in 1977, and they welcomed their first child, Donald Jr., on the last day of that year.

Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's first wife, dead at 73 (NBC News)

Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's first wife and the mother of his three oldest children, has died, the former president said Thursday.

The service was presided over by Donald Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, then a federal judge, and the future president was in attendance. Known as Ivana and The Donald in the city's tabloids, the couple's marriage came to a sensational end in 1992 after reports linked Donald Trump to model and actress Marla Maples, who would become Trump's second wife. Ivana Trump maintained a successful career following her split from Trump, running several of her own business ventures, including a cosmetics line, writing numerous books and authoring various advice columns. “I have the direct number to White House,” she said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America" in late 2017, months after her former husband became president. The couple had three children — Donald Trump Jr., 44, Ivanka Trump, 40, and Eric Trump, 38. 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.

Ivana Trump obituary (The Guardian)

“I am basically first Trump wife – I am first lady, OK?” She was indeed the first of the former US president Donald J Trump's three wives, the one with the ...

She was found dead at the foot of the stairs in her New York apartment, with a heart attack suspected as the cause. She hosted a reality show, Ivana Young Man, on the Oxygen network and in 2010 appeared on the British Celebrity Big Brother. In 1996 she had a cameo in the movie The First Wives Club, advising Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler: “Don’t get mad, get everything.” Ivana and Trump fought publicly after the model Marla Maples, with whom Trump was having an affair, introduced herself to Ivana, by Ivana’s account saying: “I’m Marla and I love your husband.” The divorce was granted in 1990. Their first child, Donald Jr, was born in December that year; a daughter, Ivana (known as Ivanka), in 1981; and another son, Eric, in 1984. In 1972 she had what she called a “cold war” marriage to a friend, the Austrian ski instructor Alfred Winklmayr, which allowed her to get an Austrian passport and travel without losing the right to return home. Ivana’s suit cited “cruel and inhumane” treatment; her deposition accused Trump of raping her and pulling out her hair. For a man notoriously averse to sharing the limelight, Trump was unusually willing to cede half to Ivana. Her attention to every detail, from plumbing to painting, was compared to a general’s. She filled the nouveau-Babylonian Trump Tower with pink marble and gold leaf. Ivana was born in Gottwaldov in Czechoslovakia (now Zlín, in the Czech Republic). Her father, Miloš Zelníček, was an electrical engineer, her mother, Marie (nee Francová), a telephone operator. As vice-president of interior design for the Trump Organization, her motto became: “If something could be leafed in gold or upholstered in damask, it was,” and the rule applied to her: with big golden hair, and upholstered lips and body, she was the embodiment of Trump style.

Without Ivana Trump, there would be no Donald Trump (The Washington Post)

Donald Trump's rise to fame was fueled as much by first wife Ivana's brash charisma as his own heat-seeking swagger and ambition.

“He has to go and declare that he lost.” As with a number of elements of the Donald Trump story, it was often hard to parse the truth of the Ivana story. When she married her fourth husband in 2008, the wedding was held at Mar-a-Lago, with Trump in attendance. At one point, Ivana gave a deposition in their divorce proceedings in which she accused Trump of sexually assaulting her after an argument. In an ingratiating way, she seemed to recognize the absurdity of her Zsa Zsa-meets-Real Housewife persona while also playing it to the hilt. Like him, she relished the spotlight and often spoke to reporters.

Ivana Trump's Style Defined the 'Greed Is Good' Era (The New York Times)

Dennis Basso, a longtime friend and furrier, recalls his many collaborations with the first Ms. Trump.

Between her move out of Trump Tower and the renovations of her new home, he said, “one of her assistants sent it over for safekeeping.” And her relationship with her ex-husband Mr. Trump had been friendly in recent years. The relationship between Ms. Trump and Mr. Basso was by no means exclusive. “It was hanging in my office,” he said. Ms. Trump, he said, wanted most of all to be known as a good mother. “One was a pale silver silk shantung maxi-coat lined in deep, deep sheared magenta fur,” Mr. Basso said. Ms. Trump’s close friend Nikki Haskell was a bridesmaid. But it was, for the decade in which she and Mr. Trump first made their public mark, the epitome of a certain go-go 1980s New York style. But Ms. Trump had grown up in Czechoslovakia, shortly after it became a communist dictatorship. “It’s smaller than my dressing room closet” was how she put it, Mr. Basso recalled. In its place was a Brigitte Bardot-inspired bouffant. One caught by Tom Wolfe’s “The Bonfire of the Vanities” and defined by chinchilla stoles, leopard-print shirtdresses, and Upper East Side ready-fitted trousers in soft colors.

Sarah Palin, a commercial fisherman at the time, later became a supporter of former President Donald Trump, ex-husband of Ivana, who died Thursday.

On Friday, the New York City medical examiner ruled her death an accident and said she died of blunt impact injuries to her torso.

I remember standing in line in Anchorage at the J.C. Penney store to meet her during an event to promote her new perfume," Palin wrote, adding Ivana Trump was "always a class act" and that "her legacy will live on in her amazing children" and grandchildren. In 1996, Palin was just one of many Alaskans who lined up to meet Ivana Trump, the former Czechoslovakian Olympic skier and businesswoman, according to an article published in the Anchorage Daily News at the time.
