Ivana’s marriage to Donald Trump ended in divorce in 1992, after 15 years of marriage. The couple’s divorce was highly publicized, with allegations of infidelity and financial mismanagement. Despite the challenges of their divorce, Ivana remained a close friend and business associate of Trump’s, and she continued to support his career.

Ivana grew up in a traditional Czech family and was raised in a Catholic household. Her father, František Zelnickov, was a successful textile manufacturer, and her mother, Marie Zelnickov, was a homemaker. Ivana’s early life was marked by the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, which had a significant impact on her worldview and ambitions.

In 1993, Ivana married James O. Griffiths, a wealthy businessman, but the marriage ended in divorce just a few years later. In 2006, she married Rico Rodriguez, a former Olympic skier, and the couple remained together until his passing in 2017.
