Ivana Trump Separates From Fourth Husband

NEW YORK — Ivana Trump has issued a statement confirming reports of marital discord with Italian entrepreneur Rossano Rubicondi. Trump, who married Rubicondi in April, says she filed a legal separation agreement three months ago. Trump says she kept quiet about it because she didn't want to ruin Rubicondi's chances as a contestant on the Italian edition of the reality TV show "Survivor."

Rubicondi is Trump's fourth husband. After about six years of dating, they tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at her ex-husband Donald Trump's estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

Says Trump: "Rossano wants to live in Miami and work in Milan. ... But, I am a New Yorker and my family, friends and businesses are here. As the beautiful song says, `Que sera sera!'"

What the pro-same sex marriage population seems to fail to realize is that marriage is an institution established by God to promote reproduction of the human race. For that reason, same-sex marriages are not supported by Christians and forbidden. It is arrogant of man to think that he can just dismiss biblical principles established by the Creator of HEAVEN and EARTH without repercussions. God is a God of love as well as judgement. Read the HOLY SCRIPTURES. God will not be mocked! We cannot rewrite the scriptures to satisfy our own personal preferences.

Umm for any of what you said above to be taken seriously you have to believe in a god otherwise you just sound crazy.. Last time I checked no one has ever proven the existence of god so what you say has the same validity as a bedtime story.

just glad the see-through lace stopped where it does........ where do these people get such hideous clothes? His chalk-line pin stripes look like they were bought at WalMart - doesn't look tailored at all.

(I apologize in advance for this shallow comment.)

Ugh. How long has she had this hair style? It seems she has it for 20 or 30 years. I do wish she could change it.

I'm with you, GeeRays. My husband is 20 years younger. He has to work to keep up! lol..we love each other and rarely does age play a factor. I think understanding and acknowledging the real and perceived issues that come with an age gap are important. Each to his own..

Coming down the stretch, we have Larry King.... King is in the lead... now we see Tom Arnold coming up w/ 4 failed marriages.... sneaking up to the finish line we see Liz Taylor, Mickey Rooney, Trump... and a host of others.
Yet 2 men or 2 women can't marry because it would "destroy the family"?
What planet is this???

Both she and her ex-husband should just give up.

It's hard for me to buy this story. They dated for six years and then got married and they never discussed their living arrangement. I'm not buying it.

I'm with you. I think the Miami-Milan plan says it all. He's horn-doggin in the best places.

Every report about them prior to this marriage was negative. Friends even begged her not to marry him so she made her bed. Wealth can't buy anyone love. Ivana needs to lay on a psychiatrist's couch to see why she's chasing the same pattern of men.

This affects children too, young or adult. I wonder how her adult children feel about all this marrying between Ivana and Donald? No stability at all yet Donald is always in someone else's business.

My wife is from the Crech Republic and tells me Ivana is from the wrong side of the "tracks", money can buy a lot of things execpt self respect and common sense and dignity. It ok to have a person who is younger than you but have some class, another thing that money cannot buy. This is just one ups manship from two people hovering around the bottom.

Ivana is from a place now known as Zlin in Moravia, Czech Republic. Whilst she was growing up it was called Gottwaldow - named after a rather nasty Czechoslovak Communist party leader called Klement Gottwald. After the Velvet Revolution its name was changed back (a la Leningrad/ St.Petersburg). As someone who knows Zlin well I can honestly say that there's not really such a thing as being from the "wrong side of the tracks" - there or anywhere else in the former CSSR - since whilst Ivana grew up there the Communists were in control and, in a sense, everyone was from the wrong side of the tracks. Unless you were a communist apparatchik that was true of about 98% of the population. Zlin is, however, famed for its so-called "Bata Spirit" - the famed shoemaker Tomas Bata was from the town - and this brought it wealth and riches relative to the rest of the country. The town today is still one of the richest in the modern Czech Republic and many of the country's most successful people hail from there. As for Ivana's "class" I can't really comment as I've never met the woman!

WOW! 6 years of dating and it comes down to 4 months of marriage. They should' have stayed unmarried. Lucky bastard will probably get away with some of her fortune.

I'm sure she had a pre-nup. If Donald Trump taught her anything, he taught Ivana that.

Perception. From a distance. A great distance. She has a lot going on. I bet, up close, it ain't cute.

Up close or far away, the Donald ain't cute.
