Vanessa Trump has filed for divorce from Donald Trump Jr., President Donald Trump's eldest son, The New York Post's Page Six reported Thursday.
The divorce is not contested, meaning the president's daughter-in-law, a former model and actress, does not expect a fight over custody of the couple's children or assets.
Friends told The Post that the pair, who married in 2005 and have five children together, have been living largely separate lives. According to Page Six sources, Donald Jr.'s political involvement and aggressive social-media presence played a part in the split.
"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," one source told The Post.
Unlike other Trump family members, Vanessa, 40, has maintained a low profile over the past few years, largely staying out of politics. Meanwhile, Donald Jr., 40, has been a vocal supporter of his father, campaigning alongside him during the 2016 election and fiercely defending him on social media and cable news ever since.
The divorce comes just a month after Vanessa was sent to the hospital after opening an envelope addressed to Donald Jr. that contained a white powder, which was later determined not to be hazardous, along with a threatening note.
