Is Donald Trump Jr's marriage on the rocks?
Donald Trump Jr and his wife Vanessa Trump are heading for a divorce, multiple sources have confirmed to Page Six.
The eldest son of US President Donald Trump and Vanessa married in November 2005 and have five children.
Although they are not legally separated, friends claim they have been living separate lives and expect the couple to file for divorce soon.
One source told the publication: “The problems have been there for a long time, the couple had hoped to stay together during the president’s time in office, but it is getting harder to resolve their issues. He’s never there.”
A spokesman for Don Jr, Vanessa and the Trump Organization declined to comment.
Don Jr and his brother Eric, 34, are running the Trump Organization while their father is in office.
“Don Jr. has been busy travelling, which has contributed to their problems. Vanessa is a devoted mother, but she is increasingly lonely and alone in the house with the children,” a source said.
Two of the sources said Don Jr. “appears to have changed recently, and friends are concerned about him.”
Their concerns stem from Don Jr.’s tweeting, including when he liked a tweet linking antidepressants to mass murder, and another liking a tweet attacking a teen survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
The sources add that Vanessa is not comfortable with the intense scrutiny and focus on her family.
“Vanessa is by nature is a very low-key person, and she is uncomfortable with the attention her family is getting now the Trumps are on the world stage,” the source said.
“She is also worried for her kids, particularly after she received the threatening letter containing the white powder.”
Vanessa opened a letter addressed to Don Jr, mailed to their Manhattan home, which contained an explicit threat along with the white powder.
The NYPD later said the powder in the envelope was non-hazardous, but the sources said of the experience, “It was terrifying for Vanessa, who is naturally worried for the safety of her children.”
