Ivana Trump was a Czech Republic native and former President Donald Trump’s first wife (viaBiography).
The two also shared three children together Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump.
However, before Ivana Trump was a Trump, she accomplished many impressive things.
In fact, many people may not know she was actually a decorated competitive athlete in her youth.
She started skiing as young as six years old.
She would go on to compete in the sport through her teenage years and college.
However, this claim is unproven, according toSnopes.
“She was always ambitious,” her mother, Marie Zelnickova, told Newsweek in 2017.
Newsweek reports that Ivana’s first marriage was for a passport, which is why their marriage was short-lived.
After a stint in Canada as a ski instructor, she started modeling and moved to New York City.
The good news, we got a table.
The bad news is we gotta sit with this guy."
The two ended up hitting it off, and a year later, she became Mrs. Donald Trump.
Their union would last for 14 years.
The two also became fixtures on the 1980s society scene.
However, their marriage was short-lived, culminating in their divorce just two years later.
Their wedding was at Donald Trump’s Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, according toPeople.
However, their fairytale also didn’t last long at all.
The latter was her final book and a memoir about raising her three children.
You may remember seeing her in “The First Wives Club.”
“Calling me Grandma is out of the question.
It’s Glam-ma!”
she told People in 2011.
She was a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.
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!"
