Vanessa, formerly Vanessa Haydon, was working as a model at the time. Donald Jr. wasn't her first famous beau — she made headlines after being spotted with Leonardo DiCaprio at a movie premier in 1997.

Vanessa, formerly Vanessa Haydon, was working as a model at the time. Donald Jr. wasn't her first famous beau — she made headlines after being spotted with Leonardo DiCaprio at a movie premier in 1997.

Don Jr., meanwhile, had at that point been working at the Trump Organization for a few years.

The pair married in 2005 at the Mar-a-Lago Resort in West Palm Springs.

The couple welcomed their first daughter, Kai Madison, in May 2007.

For the first decade of their relationship, the couple's comings-and-goings were covered primarily by gossip columns and tabloids.

Vanessa was a common presence on the charity circuit. While Don Jr. spent his early 20s hiding from the spotlight, the pair began to make headlines together more frequently after they married.

However, as Donald Trump began campaigning in the 2016 presidential election, Don Jr. got involved as well.

Don Jr. aggressively advocated for his father and attacked critics on social media.

Vanessa, meanwhile, has stayed out of the spotlight for the last few years — both on social media and in the realm of politics.

Both Don Jr.'s brother Eric and his wife, Lara, have remained politically engaged since the campaign. In comparison, Vanessa has kept a lower profile.

Trump has been under investigation for his role in potential Russian meddling in the election, after The New York Times reported in July 2017 that he met with a Russian lawyer who had told him she had damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

Later in February, Donald Jr. said that his father's presidency was hurting his business in India, due to self-imposed restrictions.

Sources told The New York Post that Donald Jr.'s obsession with politics and frequent travels were contributing to issues in the relationship.
