The former couple was married from 2005 until 2018

Donald Trump Jr. shares five children with ex-wife Vanessa Trump.
The oldest son of Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana Trump, married Vanessa in 2005. They welcomed daughters Kai and Chloe and sons Donald III, Tristan and Spencer before the former pair split in 2018, with a source telling PEOPLE the two were “living separate lives.”
The businessman’s children are all in or entering their teenage years. In July 2024, his oldest daughter, Kai, spoke at the Republican National Convention, where her grandfather was named the Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election before he began his second term.
Don Jr. is currently engaged to socialite Bettina Anderson, while Vanessa is now dating Tiger Woods. In March 2026, a source told PEOPLE that the golfer’s March 2026 DUI arrest has “raised some concerns” for Don Jr. when it comes to his kids’ safety.
“[Don] knows Vanessa can make her own decisions, but they’re a team when it comes to coparenting,” the insider said. “He’s just thankful Vanessa and the kids weren’t involved.”
Here’s everything to know about Donald Trump Jr.’s five kids: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe.
