Ivanka Trump posted on X to celebrate what would have been her mother’s 75th birthday. “Today would have been your birthday, Mom, and not a day goes by that I don’t miss you,” the first daughter wrote. “Your brilliance, charm, passion, and wicked sense of humor continue to inspire me daily. You lived life to the fullest, embracing every opportunity to laugh, play and dance. I miss you more than words can express and will keep your memory alive in my heart always [white heart emoji].” The post included a photo of her mother, Ivana Trump, from when she was a young woman. Ivana died at the age of 73 in 2022 from injuries she sustained from a fall down a flight of stairs in her Manhattan apartment. Donald and Ivana Trump had three children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump. Their marriage ended in 1989, when Ivana discovered Donald was having an affair with his soon-to-be second wife, Marla Maples.
