Donald Trump Jr. and his wife Vanessa, about to divorce
"They have been living separate lives for a long time and the divorce proceedings are going to begin soon," says a source to 'Page Six' about the situation of the marriage, which has five children.
Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Vanessa Trump, are going through marital problems and his friends say they are going to divorce, according to several sources to the US portal Page Six. The marriage formed between Donald Trump's first-born son and the model and actress, who have been married for 13 years and have five children together, seems to have been going through a deep crisis for some time that his closest people do not believe there is a solution to. “They have had problems for a long time. The couple have wanted to stay together while the president is in office, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to resolve their problems. He is never there ”, has revealed a source close to the newspaper in reference to the situation of the couple and the constant absences of Trump's eldest son.
According to Page Six, who has contacted a spokesperson for the Trump Organization and has refused to make any comment, the marriage has not yet started the divorce process, but his friends say it will be a matter of time. “Donald Jr. has been busy traveling, which has led to increasing problems between them. Vanessa is a devoted mother, but she feels more and more alone and she is the one who takes care of the children ”, added another source.
Since Donald Trump became president, his sons Donald and Eric have been in charge of running the Trump Organization. A position that seems to have affected him: "His friends are worried about him because he has changed a lot recently." These fears have been increased as a result of the activity that Donald Jr. has shown on social networks. A few days ago, the president's son indicated that he liked a tweet that linked antidepressants to mass murders, and another where he attacked a teenager who had survived the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. In addition, according to The Daily Beast, following the Florida school shooting, Donald Jr. urged his father to retain his strength in the face of gun control and rights and to stand firm against any firearm bans.
On the other hand, his closest environment does not understand the decision that Trump's first-born son made last September when he canceled the 24-hour protection of the Secret Service that ensured his safety, that of his wife and his children, claiming “to want more privacy ”. Just a month ago, he too was heavily criticized for the statements he made about him during his trip to India: "I admire the poor because they smile."
Despite belonging to the Trump family for 13 years, Vanessa has always tried to go unnoticed, away from the bubble and the controversy that surrounds them. “She is by nature a very discreet person and she is not comfortable with the attention her family is receiving now that they are on the world stage. In addition, she is very concerned about the safety of her children, especially since she received the letter that contained the white powder, "the source has said about the letter that Trump's daughter-in-law received in February that was originally said to contain anthrax. and had to be hospitalized for a few hours.
Meanwhile, another source close to the couple insisted that, although they have problems, they are not yet legally separated. “I cannot deny that there are problems, there are many internal things that happen in a marriage. Donald Jr. and Vanessa are focused on their family and want to take this private. When they have something to say, they will. This has nothing to do with politics, this is a personal matter between them. "
"Don still lives at home, he is a good father and is very involved in the lives of his children. He has always traveled for work, so his current schedule is not something out of the ordinary," added this source and has explained that Trump's son has not changed and his position on social networks remains the same as always. "Donald Jr. has always had a bold and aggressive nature socially. His behavior on Twitter has not changed, he is not irrational at all, he will always speak his mind and fight back, that's the personality of he".
Donald Trump Jr. and Vanessa Kay Haydon, both 40, met in 2004 and were introduced precisely by the one who was to be his father-in-law, Donald Trump. The model and actress, who studied Philosophy, became Miss USA that same year and met the now president of the United States on The Apprentice program. Trump approached her during a Fashion Week show to introduce her son.
Within a few weeks Vanessa and Donald Jr. met again at a mutual friend's birthday celebration and love arose. In mid-November 2005, she married Donald Trump Jr. at the family's golf club in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, and the couple have since had five children. "They are my life," can be read on Vanessa's Twitter profile, which she leads with a photo of the Trump family with US flags in the background.
