Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s first wife, died aged 73 on Thursday. Prior to her death, Ivana suffered some trouble in her hips that did not allow her to walk and was also the reason why she missed a trip to the Hamptons, a friend of Ivana who had known her for nearly 15 years told New York Post.
Zach Erdem, who owns the Southampton hotspot 75 Main, said, “There was something going on with her hip, she couldn’t walk.” Erdem said he had been expecting Ivana at his store for the last two months, but she told him that she wasn’t feeling well. “She said she was having pain in her leg…She couldn’t get out of her house.”
