NEW YORK — Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Vanessa Trump, may be getting divorced.
Vanessa Trump, a former model, is seeking an uncontested divorce from the president’s son, according to a public court record filed Thursday. Details of the divorce complaint haven’t been made public.
The couple, both 40 years old, married in 2005 and have five children.
The Trump Organization, where Donald Trump Jr. is an executive, didn’t immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. The court filing didn’t include the names of the couple’s lawyers.
Vanessa Trump’s engagement and marriage to Donald Trump Jr. had been a subject of tabloid fascination in New York long before her father-in-law, Donald Trump, entered politics.
At the time of their engagement, there were unflattering stories about how Trump Jr. had accepted a free diamond ring from a jewelry merchant in New Jersey in exchange for staging a recreation of his wedding proposal outside the store for reporters and TV cameras.
