From the moment that Donald Trump first rose to fame, he has proven to be a master of garnering attention for himself. Between appearing in a slew of movies and saying things others won't, it feels like there isn't a week in which Trump is out of the headlines.

Even though everything Trump does gets attention, some facts related to him fly under the radar, including the fact that his son spent time in jail. Another example of that is the fact that many of Trump's fans don't know if he got along with Ivana Trump's other ex-husbands.

Did Donald Trump Get Along With Ivana Trump's First Husband, Alfred Winklmayr?

During the 1980s, Donald Trump stepped onto the world stage for the first time. After Trump became famous enough to begin showing up at red carpet events, he didn't come alone. Instead, Trump was often accompanied by his wife at that time, Ivana Trump.

Based on the available information, it doesn't seem like Trump and Ivana Trump's first husband, Alfred Winklmayr, had much of a relationship at all.

What Was Ivana Trump and Donald Trump's relationship like according to Town & Country Magazine?

• Married for 14 years
• Had a tumultuous divorce
• Remained close friends after their divorce
• Donald Trump asked Ivana Trump if she wanted to be ambassador to the Czech Republic
• Ivana Trump supported Donald Trump's run for President

In 1971, Ivana Trump and an Austrian skier named Alfred Winklmayr got married. According to In Touch Weekly, Ivana Trump and Winklmayr didn't tie the knot because they were in love. Instead, Ivana Trump married Winklmayr as a way to get out of Czechoslovakia, her home country, which was communist at the time.

As a part of their article about Ivana Trump's ex-husbands, In Touch Weekly quoted what Ivana Trump wrote about her first marriage in her memoir, "Raising Trump".

“If Fred and I got married, I’d have an Austrian passport and would be able to leave communist Czechoslovakia legally and still be able to see my family. The marriage wouldn’t be real, of course, and Fred had no illusion that it meant anything.”

After Ivana Trump and Winklmayr got married, she obtained her Austrian passport and fled her home country. Winklmayr then moved to America. Winklmayr and Ivana Trump got divorced in 1972, the year after they were wed.

After Ivana Trump and Winklmayr's divorce, she went on to be married to Donald Trump from 1977 until 1990. If Trump had a relationship with Winklmayr before he and Ivana Trump's breakup, he never spoke about it publicly. In fact, it was revealed that Ivana Trump had been married before when she and Trump were in the process of breaking up.

Two days after Ivana Trump's team acknowledged her first marriage for the first time, Winklmayr spoke out. In 1990, Winklmayr offered to sell his story to the highest bidder. Despite that, very little has been publicly reported about Winklmayr, including if he ever knew Donald Trump at all.

Did Donald Trump Get Along With Ivana Trump's Third Husband, Riccardo Mazzucchelli?

Unlike Ivana Trump's first husband, there is no debating what the third man she married thought about Donald Trump. Based on Riccardo Mazzucchelli's own statements, it is very clear that he didn't get along with Donald Trump by the time his marriage to Ivana Trump was ending.

After Donald Trump and Ivana Trump's marriage ended, she went on to get married in November 1995. At that time, Ivana Trump pledged to spend her life with an Italian entrepreneur and business leader named Riccardo Mazzucchell.

Less than two years later, Ivana Trump and Mazzucchelli began the process of getting divorced. As the former couple's marriage was ending, Mazzucchelli said things in public that Ivana Trump sued him over due to a confidentiality clause they'd both signed.

Before the lawsuit, Mazzucchelli spoke to People in 1997. During that interview, Mazzucchelli initially spoke about how much he cared about Ivana Trump. “I loved Ivana a lot, and I think I did my very best."

Mazzucchelli then changed the subject as he began talking about Donald Trump. After claiming he helped Ivana Trump more than Trump ever did, Mazzucchelli went on to talk about his belief that The Donald sabotaged him.

"I did for her more than Donald ever did. I’ve been crucified by the press. [Donald Trump's] done nothing but knife me in the back. Maybe he’s jealous.”

People's article about Mazzucchelli and Ivana Trump's divorce also quoted a source close to Donald Trump. According to that source, Donald Trump believed that Ivana Trump still loved him at the time of her third divorce. That was a claim her publicist denied at the time.

Did Donald Trump Get Along With Ivana Trump's Fourth Husband, Rossano Rubicondi?

Given that Donald Trump is widely recognized as being extremely outspoken, it is interesting that he hasn't been quoted in this article yet. However, when it comes to Ivana Trump's fourth and final husband, Trump revealed that he disapproved of Rossano Rubicondi and their marriage.

​​​​​​

After Ivana Trump's third marriage failed, she didn't rush to walk down the aisle again. Instead, it would be roughly a decade before Ivana Trump and Rubicondi got married in 2008.

When Ivana Trump and Rubicondi tied the knot, their ceremony, which took place at Mar-a-Lago, cost $3 million according to In Touch Weekly. When it was announced that Ivana Trump and Rubicondi's marriage was going to end, Donald Trump spoke to The New York Post about the situation.

Initially, Trump told The New York Post that he wasn't surprised to learn Ivana Trump and Rubicondi's marriage was over. “You can’t be overly surprised by this, it’s unfortunate it [the marriage] ever took place. The marriage was unfortunate and now it has to be unwound.”

Trump also told The New York Post that the three children he had with Ivana Trump didn't approve of Rubicondi either. Finally, Trump explained that he grew to not like Rubicondi after meeting him.

“I was extremely skeptical [of the marriage] and when I got to know him, I was not a fan of everything I saw.”
