Primeros años de vida

Ivana Marie Zelníčková [ a ] ​​nació el 20 de febrero de 1949 en Gottwaldov, República Checoslovaca (actual Zlín , República Checa), hija de Miloš Zelníček (1927–1990) y Marie Zelníčková (de soltera Francová, n. 1926). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Se crio en un hogar católico . [ 5 ] Su padre era ingeniero eléctrico y su madre trabajaba como operadora telefónica. [ 6 ] Su padre alentó las habilidades de esquí de su hija , una práctica que comenzó a los cuatro años. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Después de desarrollar habilidades como esquiadora, Ivana se unió al equipo nacional juvenil de esquí, lo que le ofreció oportunidades para viajar más allá de las fronteras comunistas de la era soviética de lo que entonces era la República Socialista Checoslovaca. [ 6 ] Asistió a la Universidad Carolina de Praga y obtuvo una maestría en educación física en 1972. [ 8 ] [ 7 ] En 1970, Ivana apareció en la televisión checoslovaca en la serie de televisión infantil Pan Tau . [ 9 ]

An (StB) informant with the cover name Lubos reported to his superiors in 1977 how Ivana had begun work at a petrol station in Austria, where she had met her first husband in 1968. She had then emigrated to Canada, where she married Trump.[10]

In 1988, Ivana told journalists she had been selected as a substitute on the Czechoslovak ski team during the 1972 Winter Olympics, specializing in downhill and slalom.[7][11] However, Czechoslovakia only sent four female athletes to the 1972 Winter Olympics and none were alpine skiers. In 1989, Petr Pomezný, Secretary General of the Czechoslovak Olympic Committee, denied Ivana's claim and stated that despite searching extensively, no record could be found of her involvement.[8] In 2021, Snopes confirmed that Czechoslovakia had not sent female alpine skiers to the 1972 Winter Olympics.[12]

Emigration to Canada

In 1971, Ivana married Alfred Winklmayr, an Austrian ski instructor and her platonic friend, to obtain a passport.[13][14][15] The marriage granted her the freedom to leave Czechoslovakia without detection so she could retain the right to return to visit her parents.[13][16][14][17] As Ivana Winklmayr, she received her Austrian passport in March 1972.[15] In August 1973,[18] she obtained an absentee divorce from Alfred Winklmayr in Los Angeles, California, where he had moved to teach skiing.[13][16][15]

Ivana tuvo una relación sentimental con el letrista y dramaturgo Jiří Štaidl , quien murió en un accidente automovilístico en 1973. [ 19 ] Después de la muerte de Štaidl, Ivana se mudó a Canadá, donde vivió con George (Jiří) Syrovátka con quien había salido desde 1967; Syrovátka había desertado a Canadá en 1971 y era dueño de una boutique de esquí en Montreal. [ 16 ] [ 13 ] [ 17 ] Ella afirmó en ese momento estar casada con Syrovátka, aunque los dos nunca se casaron. [ 20 ] [ 21 ] Ivana trabajó como instructora de esquí mientras vivía en Canadá. [ 22 ] Vivió en Montreal durante dos años, donde continuó mejorando su inglés a través de cursos nocturnos en la Universidad McGill . [ 17 ] Ivana, que trabajaba como modelo, declaró al Montreal Gazette en 1975 que consideraba el modelaje un trabajo, más que una carrera. [ 23 ] Entre sus clientes de modelaje se encontraban los grandes almacenes Eaton's y el diseñador de moda Auckie Sanft, además de realizar trabajos promocionales para los Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1976 en Montreal. [ 17 ]

Matrimonio con Donald Trump

Ivana estaba en la ciudad de Nueva York con un grupo de modelos en 1976 cuando conoció a Donald Trump. [ 17 ] El 9 de abril de 1977, la pareja se casó en la Iglesia Marble Collegiate en una boda oficiada por Norman Vincent Peale . [ 24 ] [ 25 ] [ 26 ] [ 27 ] [ 28 ] Se convirtieron en figuras de la prensa sensacionalista en la sociedad neoyorquina durante la década de 1980 y trabajaron juntos en varios proyectos importantes, incluyendo la Torre Trump en la Quinta Avenida en Manhattan, la renovación del Hotel Grand Hyatt en la ciudad de Nueva York y la construcción del Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort en Atlantic City, Nueva Jersey . [ 29 ] [ 30 ]

Durante su matrimonio, Ivana y Donald tuvieron tres hijos: Donald Jr. (nacido en 1977), Ivana (Ivanka) Marie (nacida en 1981) y Eric (nacido en 1984). Donald Jr. aprendió a hablar checo con fluidez (con la ayuda de su abuelo materno), mientras que Ivanka solo adquirió un conocimiento básico de la lengua materna de su madre, y Eric no estuvo expuesto al idioma, ya que sus abuelos se sentían cómodos hablando inglés. [ 31 ] [ 32 ]

"Mientras seguía casada con (nombre censurado) y presumiblemente aún vivía en Austria, se nacionalizó austriaca en 1972. Un año después de su matrimonio con Trump, se nacionalizó canadiense. Y, cinco meses después, se convirtió en residente permanente de los Estados Unidos." [ 33 ]

Un crítico de la miniserie documental de Netflix de 2018 sobre Donald Trump, titulada "Un sueño americano" , describió a Ivana como "una adicta al trabajo carismática, una mujer de carrera, una igual", y una compañera de vida elegida deliberadamente por Trump para "trabajar a su lado y desafiarlo". [ 34 ]

El problemático matrimonio de los Trump se convirtió en tema de interés público durante las fiestas navideñas de 1989, cuando se les vio peleando después de que Ivana se encontrara con la amante de Donald, Marla Maples . [ 35 ] El Chicago Tribune informó que, en febrero de 1990, Donald había dejado a Ivana fuera de su oficina en el Hotel Plaza , y se desató una batalla legal sobre la legitimidad de los cuatro acuerdos prenupciales que la pareja había negociado sucesivamente a lo largo de los años. [ 35 ]

En octubre de 1990, el padre de Ivana, Miloš Zelníček, de 63 años, murió repentinamente de un ataque al corazón. Según The Guardian , su padre era informante del servicio de inteligencia checoslovaco Státní bezpečnost (StB) y transmitía información de su hija, incluyendo una predicción correcta de que George H. W. Bush ganaría las elecciones presidenciales de 1988. [ 36 ] A pesar de sus problemas matrimoniales y el divorcio pendiente, Donald estuvo a su lado en el funeral de su padre en Zlín [ 37 ] celebrado en noviembre de 1990. [ 36 ]

The Trumps' divorce proceedings received worldwide publicity.[38] Front-page coverage appeared in New York tabloid newspapers for 11 days in a row, and the story was the subject of gossip columnist Liz Smith's entire news coverage for three months.[39] In a deposition relating to their divorce, Ivana accused Donald of rape.[40] In Harry Hurt's book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump, she confirmed that she had "felt violated". However, in a statement provided by Donald and his lawyers, she said that she had used the word rape, but she did not "want [her] words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense".[41] The uncontested divorce was granted in December 1990 on the grounds of cruel and inhumane treatment by Donald.[38][42] Ivana had to sign a non-disclosure agreement as a condition of the divorce settlement, and she was required to seek Donald's permission before publicly discussing their marriage.[41][43]The New York Times reported in 1991 that Ivana's divorce settlement included $14 million, a 45-room Connecticut mansion, an apartment in the Trump Plaza, and the use of Mar-a-Lago for one month a year.[1]

Career

During her marriage to Donald, Ivana took on major roles in The Trump Organization, working as a senior executive for seven years,[44] including executive vice president for interior design.[45][30] She led the interior design of Trump Tower with its signature pink marble.[45] Ivana was appointed CEO[46][47] and president of the Trump Castle Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, later becoming the manager of the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.[48] When Donald Trump won in 2016, she turned down his offer to become the ambassador to her native Czech Republic.[49]

Business ventures

Soon after the divorce, Ivana developed lines of clothing, fashion jewelry, and beauty products, which have been sold through television shopping channels, including the Home Shopping Network[50] and QVC London.[51] In 1995, she presided over The House of Ivana, a fashion and fragrance company with a showroom located on Park Avenue in New York City.[50]

In 1998, Ivana pursued business interests in Croatia (a vacation destination her parents frequently visited), which included the purchase of 33% of the nation's second-largest daily newspaper, Polo+10.[52][53]

The Ivana-branded Bentley Bay development in Miami, Florida, filed for bankruptcy in 2004.[54] The following year, she was involved in several proposed condominium projects, including the never-built Ivana Las Vegas.[54][55]

In 2010, Ivana sued Finnish fashion company Ivana Helsinki, accusing it of selling women's clothing that incorporated her name without permission.[56]

Writing

Ivana wrote several books, including For Love Alone (1992), Free to Love, (1993) and a self-help book called The Best Is Yet to Come: Coping with Divorce and Enjoying Life Again (1995).[57] Trump wrote an advice column about love and life for Globe, titled "Ask Ivana", from June 1995 through January 2010.[58][59]

In February 1999, Ivana launched her own lifestyle magazine titled Ivana's Living in Style.[60] She contributed an advice column for Divorce Magazine in 2001.[61]

Ivana released an autobiography, Raising Trump, in 2017. It covered her own upbringing and the early years of raising her children with Donald.[62][63]

Media appearances

Ivana and Donald made several appearances together on television programs including The Oprah Winfrey Show in April 1988,[64] followed by the BBC's Wogan in May 1988.[65] After her divorce from Donald, Ivana was interviewed by Barbara Walters for ABC's 20/20. In 1991, Donald cut off her alimony payments after the interview and announced his intention to sue Ivana for monetary damages.[66] She returned to The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1992 with the message, "I will not let men dominate me anymore."[67]

Ivana Trump had a cameo role in the Hollywood film The First Wives Club (1996) with the line, "Ladies, you have to be strong and independent. And remember: don't get mad, get everything."[68] She was the host of a reality TV special titled Ivana Young Man, which aired on Oxygen Network in 2006. In the reality dating program, she helped a wealthy, middle-aged woman find a younger partner.[22] In 2010, Trump appeared in the UK television series Celebrity Big Brother 7; she placed seventh.[22]

Personal life

Ivana was married four times. Her first marriage, to Alfred Winklmayr, was for the goal of securing Austrian nationality.[6]

Ivana was married to Donald Trump from 1977 to 1990, and they had three children, Donald Jr. in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984.[69] She became a naturalized United States citizen in 1988.[70][71]

Ivana married Italian entrepreneur and international businessman Riccardo Mazzucchelli in November 1995.[72][73] They divorced in 1997.[74] That same year, she filed a $15 million breach-of-contract suit against Mazzucchelli for violating the confidentiality clause in their prenuptial agreement,[75] while Mazzucchelli sued Ivana and her ex-husband Donald in a British court for libel.[73] The suit was later settled on undisclosed terms.[74]

In mid-1997, Ivana began dating Italian aristocrat Count Roffredo Gaetani dell'Aquila d'Aragona Lovatelli.[76] Their relationship continued until his death in 2005.[77]

Ivana dated Italian actor and model Rossano Rubicondi for six years before they married on April 12, 2008.[78][79] The marriage to Rubicondi, 36, was the fourth for Ivana, who was 23 years his senior at the age of 59.[79] The couple's $3 million wedding for 400 guests was hosted by ex-husband Donald at Mar-a-Lago with daughter Ivanka as her maid of honor.[80] The wedding was officiated by Ivana's ex-sister-in-law, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry.[79] Although Ivana and Rubicondi divorced less than a year later, their on-again, off-again relationship continued until 2019, when Ivana announced they had once again "called it quits".[22][81] Rubicondi died on October 29, 2021, at the age of 49, reportedly from melanoma.[82][83]

Ivana had 10 grandchildren.[84] In the late 2010s she reportedly split her time between New York City, Miami, and Saint-Tropez.[22] She stated she was fluent in Czech, English, German, French, and Russian.[45]

Security inquiries

On February 14, 1989, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) headquarters in Washington, DC, recommended a preliminary inquiry into Trump's connections to Czechoslovakia based on information from a confidential source. The inquiry was initiated by the FBI New York Field Office the following week and is reported to have spanned at least two years.[85][86] In March 2023, it was revealed that Ivana had been investigated by the FBI's counterintelligence division into allegations connected to her native Czechoslovakia.[87]

The StB spied on Ivana in the 1970s and 1980s when she visited her father, Miloš Zelníček.[10][88]

Death

On July 14, 2022, Ivana died at age 73 of blunt impact injuries to the torso after falling down steep spiraling stairs[89] at her home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.[90][91] Her ex-husband, Donald Trump, and their three children, along with a number of politicians and celebrities, posted condolences on social media.[92][69] Her funeral was held on July 20 at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer, a Catholic church near her home.[93] Ivana is buried at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey.[94]

Ivana left behind an estate worth $34 million.[95] The majority of her assets were willed equally to Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. Other beneficiaries include personal friend Evelyne Galet and the family's former nanny, Dorothy Curry.[95][96]
