Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s first wife, died on Thursday, the former President said on Thursday.
“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 said in a post on the social medial platform Truth Social.
The two were married in 1977 and divorced in 1992. They had three children together: Eric, Ivanka and Donald Jr.
“Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination,” the Trump family said in a statement. She grew up under Communist rule in former Czechoslovakia.
According to the New York Post, she experienced a heart attack in her Manhattan apartment on Thursday, and was already dead when rescuers arrived.
