A former model from Zin, Czech Republic, Ivana Marie Trump is known to many as the first wife of Donald Trump but she is an astute businesswoman and media personality better known in some quarters as a fashion designer. Also an author, Ivan lived in Canada before moving to the United States of America where she met and subsequently got married to Donald Trump.

Even as she has come to be known for her marriage to the American billionaire businessman who would later become the president of the United States, he isn’t her first husband. Before Donald, Ivana was married to Alfred Winklmayr from 1971 to 1973. Ivana was a skier and reportedly married the Austrian ski instructor to obtain Austrian citizenship.

Things happened quickly between Ivana and Donald. Reports have it that she met the American businessman in New York City sometime in 1976 and they began dating. A few months later, they got engaged and then officially became life partners on the 7th of April 1977. As you would easily find, their wedding was officiated by Norman Vincent Peale at the Marble Collegiate Church. They became one of the most popular couples and Ivan got actively involved in several activities of The Trump Organization.

It was in the same year they got married that they welcomed their first child, Donald Trump Jr., who was born on the 31st of December 1977. Nearly four years later, they had their second child, a daughter named Ivanka Trump; she was born on the 30th of October 1981. In 1984, precisely on the 6th of January, they welcomed their third child and second son, Eric Trump.

Donald and Ivana started having problems in their marriage which was largely attributed to Trump’s relationship with other women, particularly Marla Maples. The couple made headlines in December 1989 when they were seen fighting after Ivana came in contact with Marla Maples. They had a publicized contention over the prenuptial agreements they had signed and their divorce proceedings were dutifully followed and covered by the media.

Among other things, Ivana accused Trump of rape and physical abuse. Their divorce was finalized in 1992 after she signed a non-disclosure agreement. This was done as a condition for divorce settlement, as such what she received was mostly left to speculations. Nonetheless, credible platforms reported that she received $14 million, an apartment in the Trump Plaza, and a 45-room mansion.

Since the end of the marriage, she has been married to Riccardo Mazzucchelli from 1995 to 1997 and Rossano Rubicondi from 2008 to 2009. She also had a long relationship with Roffredo Gaetani from 1997 to the time he passed in 2005.

On the 13th of October 1993 they welcomed their only child together, a daughter named Tiffany Trump.

The birth of Tiffany and the December 7, 1993 shooting on Long Island Rail Road reportedly made Trump think about what’s important, thus he proposed to Maples. They got married on the 20th of December that same year at New York City’s Plaza Hotel. It was an elegant wedding attended by 1,000 guests that consists mostly of prominent personalities.

Roughly three years into the Maples-Trump union, it circulated that Maples was caught having an affair with one of Trump’s bodyguards. It was said that a police officer found the actress and the bodyguard on a deserted beach under a lifeguard stand at 4:00 a.m.

Despite multiple reports that claimed she cheated on Trump with the bodyguard, both Trump and Maples denied this. The following year, in May 1997, Trump and Maples parted ways and on the 8th of June 1999, their divorce was finalized. Marla Maples relocated to California with their daughter after the divorce and has kept her subsequent relationships away from the public since then.
