Ivana, a world-class Czechoslovakian skier and businesswoman, was found dead in her New York City apartment last week at the age of 73. She was found at the bottom of her staircase and a medical examiner determined the death to have been accidental.

Ivana and Donald met New York City and married in 1977, becoming an iconic power couple of the 1980s and a fixture in New York City. Ivana helped manage Trump real estate projects and even designed the interior of Trump Tower.

"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," Donald posted on Truth Social last week. "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, Ivana!"
