Ivana was of Czech descent. She was born Ivana Marie Zelnickova on February 20, 1949, and married Trump in 1977. She lived in Canada in the 1970s before she moved to the U.S. She and President Trump divorced in 1992.
Ivana was found deceased of natural causes in her Manhattan apartment, reported the Daily Mail.
“Our mother was an incredible woman — a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend,” Eric Trump said in a statement, according to the New York Post.
“She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children and ten grandchildren.”
The former Mrs. Trump was a socialite, businesswoman and former model, reported Vanity Fair. She had served as CEO and managed the design of Trump’s Castle, one of his Atlantic City hotels. She authored a number of books, including her autobiography published in 2017, called Raising Trump. The book tells of her childhood and her escape from Czechoslovakia, and about raising her children.
Her divorce from Trump garnered world-wide attention after Ivana learned of his affair with his subsequent wife, actress, model and singer Marla Maples, who is the mother of Tiffany Trump, and also later divorced Trump.
