The world remembers her for the legacy she left as a model, world-class athlete and powerful businesswoman. But to her children, Ivana Trump was a caring mother and friend who was devoted to her family.
Troves of photos discovered by a South Florida collector back in 2014 show the beauty loved up with her ex-husband, Donald Trump, vacationing with her children and posing with homemade birthday cakes.
Ivana, 73, passed away Thursday in her home in New York City's Upper East Side after suffering cardiac arrest. She is survived by her three children - Donald Jr, Eric and Ivanka - and ten grandchildren.
The intimate family pictures, previously shared with DailyMail.com, mainly span the decades of the 1970s through the 1990s - before Ivana and Donald split.
The pile features candid shots, polaroids and agency pictures from the likes of society shooter Mary Hilliard to Ron Galella, dubbed the 'Paparazzo Extraordinaire' and the bane of favorite subject Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' existence.
But more so, the photos show detail moments shared by the high-profile family behind closed doors.
Photographs captured at Ivana and Donald's 1977 wedding show the model as a beautiful and radiant bride donning a rather simple white gown.
She is pictured alongside her dashing groom as the pair exchanged vows at the altar of the Marble Collegiate Church in New York City.
Dancing at the reception that followed are shots of the groom's folks Fred Sr., and Mary and the bride's parents, Milos Zeinicek and Marie Francova.
Their love seemed to radiate throughout the early stages of their relationship. The couple was seen cozied up together at dinners, posing for photos on rooftops with champagne in hand and embracing each other in their luxurious home.

Those brits are so superficial.
73 is too young to die. But, she had a wonderful life, the whole spectrum or ups and downs, for sure. RIP, Ivana.
And the left will continue to disparage her because she was married to a Democrat, before he became a Republican…
The 1980s were a good time to be alive.
So true. Now every 2-bit rapper and Youtube influencer can do this.
She looked in poor health in the later pic.
A few years ago on twatter the libwads were making fun of her, posting photos of her walking her little dog around the hood, ridiculing her clothes.
Like an old lady can’t wear what she d*amned well pleases.
I also used to ridicule people like Ivana, but I know better now. *tries to get hair untangled from hair clip* *fails and tears out a handful of hair* *screams and tears out another handful of hair*
*notices stain on shirt just put on* *loses temper, starts throwing things*
Every time you hear about famous people’s kids, almost always it’s a tale of shame and decline. Not so with this woman’s kids! Like DT, they have their ups and downs, but they’re determinedly successful and examples to other capitalists and business people.
RIP Ivana Trump. :[
BTW, the pics with this article are adorable.
