Don't get mad. Get everything.
Getty Images As the first wife of Donald Trump, Ivana Trump can have her pick of the litter of suitors. The four-times wed woman formerly known as Ivana Zelníčková has had some of the most gorgeous men in the world on her arm, but she's making the news today because she and her fourth husband have called it quits. Who is Rossano Rubicondi?
Here’s what we know about Ivana Trump’s on-again, off-again fourth husband.
1. They first got married in 2008.
According to People Magazine, Ivana Trump first married Rossano Rubicondi in 2008. At the time, Ivana was 59; Rossano was 36. The wedding, which cost $3 million was hosted by Donald Trump at Mar-A-Lago. She first filed for legal separation from Rossano in 2009 and confirmed they had an “on-again, off-again relationship.”
“Guests, including actor George Hamilton and Kathy and Rick Hilton, will dine in the gold and white Grand Ballroom amid thousands of flowers, the same room where Donald and Melania Trump hosted their wedding dinner three years ago. A 12-ft.-high chocolate wedding cake was flown in from Germany,” they wrote, at the time.
2. Even though Ivana Trump is long over her marriage to “The Donald,” she still won’t say Marla Maples’ name.
While Ivana Trump has long moved on from Donald Trump — to her credit — and shares a respectful relationship with Donald’s current wife, Melania, she has no love lost for Donald’s second wife, Marla Maples.
“[Ivanka] likes [Melania] fine — because she didn’t cause me to break up the marriage like the other one — I don’t even want to pronounce her name,” she said to The New York Post.
3. And she knows better than anyone else about Donald Trump’s cheating ways.
According to The Daily Beast, Ivana Trump is not shy about telling the world how Donald Trump did her dirty. Although she was the first wife of Donald Trump, had three children with him, and they were married for the longest out of all of his wives, he wasn’t exactly the best husband in the world.
“Ivana Trump says she learned her marriage was over in 1989 when she was approached by Marla Maples, the “other woman” who eventually became Trump’s second wife. “This young blonde woman approached me out of the blue and said ‘I’m Marla and I love your husband. Do you?’” Ivana Trump recounts in the book. “I said ‘Get lost. I love my husband.’ It was unladylike but I was in shock,” reports the outlet.
4. Now that her marriage to Rossano Rubicondi is over, Ivana Trump says she’s “rich and single.”
Get it, girl! According to Yahoo, who received the same official statement from Ivana Trump’s team as this writer, Ivana made it clear that while her split from the Italian former model and actor was “friendly,” they are no longer together romantically.
“I am once again a single woman, and I have the freedom to do what I want, with whomever I want to, and I can afford my lifestyle,” said Ivana Trump, in her official statement.
Well, go ahead then, Ivana! Get you another young, rich, single Italian model! Live your best life!
