Ivana Trump has died at 73, according to her ex-husband, former President Trump.
“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,” the ex-president said in a statement posted on Truth Social on Thursday.
“She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life,” he said.
The mother of the former commander in chief’s three eldest children — Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric — Ivana, who was born in what is now the Czech Republic, married the then-New York real estate developer in 1977.
In his statement, Trump called the couple’s children his ex-wife’s “pride and joy.”
“She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her,” Trump said. “Rest in peace, Ivana!” the 76-year-old former president wrote.
