Ivana Trump is dead at 73.
Former president Donald Trump announced the passing of his first wife on his Truth Social media 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,” Trump wrote. “She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.”
Police responded to her home on E. 64th St. in Manhattan at 12:40 p.m. No crime is suspected.
She was the mother to the 45th president’s daughter Ivanka, and eldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric. He called the three children her “pride and joy.”
Those three siblings were the result of Donald and Ivana’s marriage that began in 1977 and ended in 1992.
“She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her,” he wrote. “Rest In Peace, Ivana!”

The Trumps’ dramatic divorce, which ended in infidelity, made for spectacular tabloid fodder, but the hard feelings would eventually soften.
The Daily News reported in September 2015 that she was overheard in an Upper East Side restaurant correctly predicting The Donald would be the nation’s next president.
Before becoming a businesswoman, the Czechoslovakia native was said to have worked as a model. She married once before wedding Donald Trump, then two more times after their split.
