Ivana Trump met her first husband, Austrian skier Alfred Winklmayr, in early 1970s in Prague. The pair married in 1971 but soon parted ways, finalizing their divorce in 1973.

She later immigrated to Canada and met former US President Donald Trump in 1976 while working in New York. The duo tied the knot in 1977 and had three children together, Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka and Eric.

Following 14 years of a whirlwind marriage, Ivana and Donald Trump called it quits in 1990 amid rumors of the latter’s affair with Marla Maples. Their divorce was finalized in 1992.

Ivana Trump married Italian businessman Riccardo Mazzucchelli in 1995 but parted ways with the entrepreneur in 1997. That same year, she started dating Italian aristocrat Count Roffredo Gaetani. The couple were together until the latter’s death in 2005.

Ivana married Rossano Rubicondi in 2008 after dating him for six years. The couple had a lavish $3 million wedding at the historic Mar-a-Lago resort with nearly 400 guests in attendance.

The wedding was hosted by the bride’s ex-husband Donald Trump, with her daughter Ivanka Trump as the maid of honor. However, Ivana and Rossano decided to go their separate ways just a year into their marriage.

The pair divorced in 2009 but continued to maintain an on-and-off relationship until officially parting ways in 2019. At the time, Ivana Trump mentioned the couple had failed to work on their marriage due to geographical differences:

“The relationship just ran its course. Rossano spends a lot of time in Italy and I spent a lot of time in New York, Miami, and Saint-Tropez, and he has to work. The long-distance relationship really doesn’t work. We had a good time and are friends. The split was amicable.”

It remains to be seen if Ivana Trump will issue an official statement about her former husband’s demise.
