Ivana Trump, a businesswoman from the Czech Republic who was the ex-wife of former President Donald Trump, died on Thursday in Manhattan. She turned 73.
The 45th president wrote on his Truth Social platform that his first wife and the mother of his three children, Donald Jr., Eric, and Ivanka, had died.
“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,” he wrote. “She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.”
He continued: “Her pride and joy were her three children, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. She was so proud of them, as we were all so proud of her. Rest In Peace, Ivana!”
Police sources told The Post that they are looking into whether Ivana Trump may have fallen down the stairs at her East 64th Street home. She was found at the bottom of the stairs. It is thought that she had a heart attack, but the city's Medical Examiner's Office will find out for sure.
Sources say the building staff found her body at 12:40 p.m. and then called the police.
A family friend said that Ivana Trump's health has been getting worse over the past few years.
