She was married to Donald from 1977 to 1992, and they had three children, Donald Jr. in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984.[61] She became a naturalized United States citizen in 1988. Although this divorce was acrimonious due to Donald’s extramarital affair to actress Marla Maples, the former couple eventually worked through their animosity and once again became close friends up until her death in 2022; Ivana was actually one of her ex-husband’s main advisors throughout his presidency and election campaigns.
