Ivana Trump says she raised Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric without any help from Donald [View all]

Donald Trump's first wife Ivana Trump said she raised her kids without any help from The Donald, according to the New York Daily News. "I brought the children up singlehandedly," Trump told guests Wednesday at the Lifeline Benefit at Le Cirque in New York City Wednesday, an event to benefit pediatric cancer in Serbia.

Ivana is the first of Donald's three wives and the mother of Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Jr. The two were married from 1997 to 1991, when they split over Donald's infidelity with Marla Maples, who later became his second wife.

At the time the couple divorced, their children were 12, eight, and six. Ivana received custody of all three kids.

It's not the first time Ivana has commented on raising the kids alone. "Once the children were the age of 21 and out of the university, I said, 'Donald, this is the final product, now you deal with it,'" she told the New York Post in an April interview.
