On Wednesday, Ivana Trump's family attended her burial at a Roman Catholic Church on New York City's Upper East Side. The ceremony, decked with hundreds of her beloved flowers, reflected her "glamorous" life.
Former President Donald Trump paid his homage to his first wife by attending the funeral Mass for the 1980s-style icon and entrepreneur, who helped him establish an empire that propelled him to the presidency.
Ivana Trump Funeral Service Brought Trump Family Together
Donald and Ivana Trump's three children -- Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric -- and their families accompanied Ivana's gold-colored casket into Manhattan's Upper East Side's St. Vincent Ferrer Roman Catholic Church.
Tiffany Trump, the former president's daughter with his second wife, Marla Maples, attended the funeral, as did family friends such as Jeanine Pirro, co-host of Fox News' 'The Five,' and Charles Kushner, a real estate entrepreneur and the father of Ivanka Trump's husband, Jared Kushner.
Ivana Trump's longtime friend, fashion designer Dennis Basso, was also among the mourners.
Trump's family revealed that she died at her Manhattan home at the age of 73. According to authorities, her death was an accident caused by severe impact injuries to her body. Ivana and Donald Trump married from 1977 until 1992 after meeting in the 1970s. They were a power couple in the 1980s, and she became well-known in her own right, easily recognized with her blond hair in an updo and her gorgeous appearance.
Ivana Trump was actively involved in her husband's companies, overseeing one of his Atlantic City casinos and selecting some of the architectural components for Trump Tower in New York City. Their public divorce was acrimonious, but they have been cordial in recent years. Ivana Trump was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and said they communicated frequently, according to USA Today.
Barron Trump Makes Rare Public Appearance
Former First Son Barron Trump was seen attending a burial ceremony for Ivana Trump with the rest of his family on Wednesday.
The 16-year-old was initially seen sneaking into the Upper East Side memorial ceremony with his father, former President Donald Trump, and mother, Melania Trump, who waved to fans in the streets as they roared their support.
He was afterward photographed standing by his father's side following the burial service. Barron wore a dark blue suit with a white button-down and a narrow blue tie, and his hair was coiffed precisely like his father's.
The family flew into New York for Ivana's burial earlier this week after the former president announced her death with an emotional message on behalf of the family. Barron's father married Ivana from April 1977 until 1992 before marrying Marla Maples and subsequently Melania. Barron was born in 2006, a year after his parents married and 14 years after his father and Ivana divorced.
Ivana, on the other hand, is the mother of Barron's half-siblings, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump. She was discovered dead in her Upper East Side apartment last week, reportedly from a fall, as per Daily Mail.
Who Is Tiffany Trump?
Tiffany Trump expressed her support for her half-siblings and father at Ivana Trump's burial in New York on Wednesday, despite the late socialite's apparent scorn for her mother, Marla Maples. The 28-year-old went with her fiancé Michael Boulos to St. Vincent Ferrer Church on Lexington Avenue to say goodbye to Ivana - Donald Trump's first wife and the mother of his three eldest children.
The Georgetown Law graduate donned a black collared shirt dress with short puffy sleeves and front buttons. Her normally long blonde hair was chopped to just below her shoulders and straightened. She completed her appearance with Dior slingbacks and jewels, including her 13-carat emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, which is valued at up to $1.2 million. Tiffany wore a pair of stylish square-frame spectacles to shade her eyes from the sun and clutched her fiancé's arm as they walked inside the chapel.
Michael was dressed in a black suit and matching tie, the heir to the multibillion-dollar Nigerian giant Boulos Enterprises. Before the event, the family gathered at the Frank E. Campbell funeral home, where Ivana's remains were being prepared, but Tiffany was not among them, according to Daily Mail.
Tiffany Ariana Trump works at Georgetown Law as a legal research assistant. She is the fourth child and the lone child of former US President Donald Trump and his second wife, Marla Maples. Tiffany was raised by Marla Maples, a former model and actress, after her divorce from Donald Trump when she was just six years old. Even though the two moved to California, Donald supported them financially by paying for Tiffany's education expenditures. Donald spent $31,205 a year for her to attend the elite Viewpoint School in Calabasas, California, Velvetiere reported.
