Who is Vanessa Trump dating? A look at old Leonardo DiCaprio rumors and flings of Donald Trump Jr's ex-wife

Where is Donald Trump Jr's ex-wife, Vanessa Trump now? Since the split, Vanessa has kept a low-profile and has stayed out of the limelight

As the Republican National Convention 2020 starred several Trump family members taking the podium one by one to passionately rally for him, Vanessa Trump's absence was felt. The estranged wife of Donald Trump Jr. made headlines when she sought an uncontested divorce from US President Donald Trump's son in 2018 after a 12-year-long marriage. 

Soon after, the pair released a joint statement. "After 12 years of marriage, we have decided to go our separate ways," they said, as per a New York Times report. "We will always have tremendous respect for each other and our families. We have five beautiful children together and they remain our top priority. We ask for your privacy during this time." At that time, sources told Page Six that Trump Jr. “treats [Vanessa] like a second-class citizen” and “has been keeping her on a tight budget”. 

In the wake of Presidential Elections, thousands of Twitter users can't stop wondering where is she now and who is she dating. One tweet read, "When is Vanessa Trump speaking she's the one I really want to hear from," and another said, "When is Vanessa Trump speaking @realDonaldTrump?" One Twitter user even went on to say: "I’m biased but I miss Vanessa Trump."

So, where is Vanessa Trump now? Since the split, Vanessa has kept a low-profile and has stayed out of the limelight. Interestingly, she still goes by her married name on social media as her Twitter handle is @MrsVanessaTrump and the bio reads: "I'm a Mother of 5 amazing kids. My children are my life!"

Born in 1977, she was raised in a townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan by her Danish mother and late Jewish stepfather Charles Haydon who was a storied Manhattan lawyer with high-profile clients like Marilyn Monroe and real estate mogul Abe Hirschfeld. A model in her 20s, she played a cameo in the 2003 film 'Something's Gotta Give' and was seen in a 2011 episode of Donald Trump-hosted 'The Apprentice' and 'Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It'. 

She last tweeted back in May saying she is home-schooling her five kids. "I’ve been homeschooling my 5 kids alone for the past 60 days ages 5 to 13. I tip my hat to all the caregivers and parents out there that are doing their best to teach their children; it’s definitely not easy! I praise all the teachers and schools that are trying to make remote learning fun and as enjoyable as possible under the circumstances. We will all get through this! As a mom of 5, the only way this works is making learning fun!"

With Trump Jr going strong with Fox News host and attorney-girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, the couple seems to have amicably moved on. The one question on all minds is: Is Vanessa Trump dating anyone now? 

A look at Vanessa Trump's relationship history

Vanessa's high-school sweetheart was a former member of the violent street gang the Latin Kings. In a bombshell interview with New York Post‘s Page Six, Valentin Rivera called himself her “first love” and made startling revelations on how she allegedly helped him deliver marijuana, drove him to gang meetings, and visited him in prison before eventually leaving him for Leonardo DiCaprio.

While there is no confirmation, rumors say she went on a date with Leonardo DiCaprio. New York Post reported, "The passionate pair have been inseparable over the past two weeks." It continued, "They 'tried to keep a tight lid on their budding romance' — but it all spilled out during a private party in a trendy SoHo loft last week... The couple could be seen holding hands, kissing and cuddling into the wee hours in a dimly lit corner."

From 1998 to 2001, she was in a relationship with Saudi prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud. A source told Page Six, “They dated from 1998 to 2001 and lived together. He ditched her on 9/11; days after, he flew back to Saudi Arabia. They were planning to marry [at the time]. They were inseparable.” However, another source said, “They dated in her early 20s. They never lived together and were not planning to get married.” As per a People report, Bandar’s father, Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, was Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the US from 1983 to 2005 was suspected for having indirect ties to Al Qaeda hijackers. However, a 2005 CIA report ultimately found “no evidence that either the Saudi government or a member of the Saudi royal family knowingly provided support” for the attacks, Vanity Fair reported. 

After her break-up, she started an affair with Trump Jr. Dishing out details on how they first met, Vanessa spilled the beans in an interview with the New York Times in 2006. “I’m at this fashion show,” [Vanessa] Trump said, adding, “‘Donald Trump comes up to me with his son: ‘Hi, I’m Donald Trump. I wanted to introduce you to my son Donald Trump Jr.’” At the intermission, Trump again tried to introduce his son to her in an awkward conversation. Six weeks later, it was at a birthday part when Trump Jr. and Vanessa were introduced again and they spoke for an hour. It was later that Vanessa recalled the fashion show incident and blurted out: “Wait, you were at that fashion show. Wait, you’re... the one with the retarded dad!”

The two got hitched on November 12, 2005, at the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida after Trump Jr went down on his knee with a $100,000 ring. It's fascinating how the 42-year-old businessman and former reality television personality got the sparkling ring as a gift after he took up the challenge to propose her in front of paparazzi outside of the store in a New Jersey mall. The couple has five children together, Donald Trump III, Spencer Frederick Trump, Chloe Sophia Trump, Kai Madison Trump, and Tristan Milos Trump. 

Now, Vanessa seems to be focusing more on her kids and there seem to be no recent updates about her recent relationship status.
