Ivana’s daughter Ivanka paid tribute to her late mother on Instagram, sharing a photo of them from her childhood.
She wrote, “Heartbroken by the passing of my mother. Mom was brilliant, charming, passionate and wickedly funny. She modelled strength, tenacity and determination in her every action. She lived life to the fullest — never forgoing an opportunity to laugh and dance.”
“I will miss her forever and will keep her memory alive in our hearts always. ❤️”
Ivana and Donald married in 1977, and divorced in 1992.
The exes shared three children together – Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
