Why Vanessa Trump Pulled The Trigger On Her Divorce Is Finally Clear

Vanessa Trump, former wife of Donald Trump Jr., was the one to officially call it quits on her marriage. The mother of five made the move at a time when the Trump family was under increasing scrutiny over alleged ties to Russia. Here's the truth about this high-level split. On March 15th, 2018, TMZ broke the news that Vanessa filed for divorce from Don Jr. She didn't contest custody or spousal support, which may indicate that she signed a prenuptial agreement. As for Junior's reaction... well, he didn't seem too broken up about the whole thing. In fact, a source told TMZ that Don Jr. was "relieved." However, Page Six noted that the fallout from the divorce couldn't have been worse. Vanessa reportedly filed papers on the same day that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the president's alleged collusion with Russia subpoenaed the entire Trump Foundation - which includes Don Jr. Making matters even more complicated, Vanessa hired a criminal attorney for the divorce, which was a somewhat odd decision, according to a family law expert. According to Page Six, the pair finalized its divorce in late 2018 and reportedly signed a confidentiality agreement to keep the terms of the settlement private.
