Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has put his blended family front and center at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio this week. Who are the real estate mogul-turned-politician’s wives – past and present – and five children?
Trump was first married on April 7, 1977 at the age of 30 to Czech model Ivana Zelnickova. With Ivana, Trump became a father three times over. Donald Trump Jr., was born in 1977, followed by Ivanka Trump in 1981 and Eric Trump in 1984. Things started to turn sour in the marriage in the late 80s and early 90s when Trump’s extramarital affair with Marla Maples hit the tabloids. Donald and Ivana divorced in 1991, but have forged a friendship over the years.
Following his divorce from Ivana, Trump continued his relationship with Maples, an aspiring actress. Though the relationship was tumultuous, the two were married on December 20, 1993, two months after their daughter Tiffany Trump was born. Donald and Marla separated in May 1997, and their divorce was finalized two years later in June 1999.
Ahead of the divorce finalization, Trump had moved on with Slovenian model Melania Knauss. Trump proposed to Melania six years later in April 2004. They were married January 22, 2005 in Florida. They welcomed their son Barron Trump in March 2006.
Donald’s adult children, Donald Jr., Ivana and Eric, all serve as executive vice presidents of The Trump Organization. The eldest two attended their father’s alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, while Eric attended Georgetown University. Tiffany, like Donald Jr. and Ivanka, followed in Donald’s footsteps at UPenn. Donald’s youngest, Barron, is just 10.
Trump is also a grandfather to eight – five via his eldest son Donald Jr., and three via Ivanka.
