  • On July 14, former US president Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana, was pronounced dead in her New York flat – she was single, but she’s been married four times
  • The Czech athlete allegedly married her fellow athlete first husband for ‘freedom’ from Communism; she also wed Riccardo Mazzucchelli and Rossano Rubicondi – all 3 have passed away

Donald Trump’s first wife Ivana was found dead inside her New York City flat on July 14 at age 73, just nine months after the death of her ex-husband Rossano Rubicondi – who she reportedly took care of until the end.

In 2016, Ivana was outspoken about how she had several boyfriends and no desire to remarry.

With four ex-husbands in her lifetime, it’s perhaps no surprise that Ivana wasn’t looking for love in recent years.

So who exactly were Ivana Trump’s husbands?

Ivana, at the time a 22-year-old professional skier – she was even once an Olympics alternate – wed fellow winter sports athlete Alfred Winklmayr, then 25, in Prague, in 1971. However, they didn’t marry for love, according to a statement from her lawyer, Michael Kennedy, in 1990. He said that Winklmayr was only a friend she married because she wanted “her freedom” from her native Czechoslovakia, which was under a Communist regime at the time.

Calling the union a “Cold War marriage”, the lawyer said it “was never consummated” and that the couple never lived together. Kennedy explained that she got an Austrian passport in March 1972, emigrated to Canada in September that year, then dissolved the marriage in August 1973 after a mandatory waiting period.
