Trump and Melania married in 2005 at the Bethesda-by-the-Sea church in Palm Beach, Florida.
The couple welcomed their son, Barron William Trump, the year after their marriage.
Trump is also a father to four other children: Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump from his first marriage to Ivana Zelníčková, and Tiffany Trump from his second marriage to Marla Maples.
Donald Trump‘s first wife was Ivana Marie Zelníčková, born in former Czechoslovakia, who experienced life under communist rule before emigrating to Canada in the 1970s, where she briefly worked as a model.
Before marrying Donald Trump in 1977, Ivana was a skier, ski instructor, and model.
Ivana Trump, the first wife of Donald Trump, was a key partner in managing his casinos and hotels, helping him become a Manhattan and global socialite throughout the 1980s. She is also the mother to his children Donald Jr, Ivanka, and Eric.
The couple divorced in 1992 due to Donald Trump‘s infidelity. He later married and divorced Marla Maples, with whom he had a daughter Tiffany, and is now with his third wife, Melania.
Prior to her death in 2022, Ivana supported her ex-husband’s successful bid to return to the White House but expressed her desire for “this whole thing to be over with” after he lost to Joe Biden and desperately sought to overturn the result, including by telling his supporters to “fight like hell” shortly before hundreds of them mounted a deadly attack on the Capitol.
She believed her children “enjoyed being around Donald and running the election and seeing what will happen” but she wanted them to one day “be able to live their normal lives”.
Ivana was found dead at her Manhattan home in July 2022 after appearing unusually tired and eating less than usual at her favorite restaurant, Altesi Ristorante, just hours before.
The 73-year-old socialite was discovered at around 12.40pm on 14th July following a 911 call reporting a person, believed to be Ms Trump, in cardiac arrest.
Despite a statement from the family and a post on Truth Social by the former president, they did not reveal the cause of her death.
However, a spokesperson for the New York Police Department confirmed later that Ivana Trump was found deceased on the interior staircase of her apartment under circumstances that were not suspicious.
Paola Alavian, proprietor of Altesi Restaurant, shared with The Sun his encounters with Ivana, stating she seemed “Her health seemed normal, she looked maybe a little bit tired, but she otherwise seemed okay” and noted she consumed “a very, very small amount of food” during her last visit. Alavian conveyed astonishment at her abrupt passing.
The New York Fire Department affirmed that paramedics responded to a call about a cardiac arrest at her residence. “Our mother was an incredible woman – a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty, and caring mother and friend,” the Trumps memorialized.
Their words continued with veneration: “Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination.”
It was subsequently verified that Ivana Trump lost her life due to traumatic blunt force injuries to her torso stemming from an unintended tumble.
An official with the New York City office of Chief Medical Examiner clarified that Trump’s first ex-wife seemingly suffered an accidental fall and was discovered at the bottom of her residence’s staircase.
Last year, images resurfaced, reigniting anger over the state of Donald Trump‘s late wife Ivana Trump’s grave at his 506-acre golf resort.
Ivana tragically passed away in July 2022 after falling down stairs at her Manhattan home and was buried at Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
In August 2023, photos showing her final resting place at age 73, engulfed by overgrown vegetation and tall grasses, circulated anew on social media.
The original pictures appeared in a Daily Mail article on August 12, revealing “Ivana Trump’s cordoned-off grave” as “barely visible in a completely overgrown area of the course.”
taken just before the 2023 LIV Golf Invitational Bedminster tournament.
Ivana, mother to Don Jr, Eric, and Ivanka, was interred in a family plot near the first hole on July 28, 2022, with later images suggesting the same lack of upkeep.
The Mail cited an unnamed “Trump official” who suggested that the current headstone is temporary, stating “the soil and foundation needed time to fully set, at which time a larger headstone will be used.”
The true condition of Ivana Trump’s grave site remains unclear.
In stark contrast, President Joe Biden is known to frequently visit the grave of his first wife Neilia at St. Joseph in the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church in Delaware.
Neilia and their 13-month-old daughter Naomi tragically died in a car crash over Christmas in 1972, leaving their young sons Beau and Hunter, then aged 3 and 2, seriously injured.
Both Naomi and Biden’s son Beau, who passed away from brain cancer in 2015 at age 46, are buried in the same cemetery.
During a touching visit in December 2021, Biden, accompanied by his family, was seen walking the church grounds and spending time at the graves of his loved ones.
