The groom was dressed in white tails. The guests were resplendent in pastels of every shade of pink and blue. The guest list included second-tier swells like Robin Leach, the ever-tanned George Hamilton, Rick and Kathy Hilton and the former Mrs. Sylvester Stallone, Brigitte Nielsen.  It was Palm Beach over the top — times ten.  

So it’s sad to learn that less than nine months later the bride, Ivana Trump, is cutting the umbilical cord on her fourth husband. The 59-year-old Trump and her 35-year-old Lothario husband Rossano Rubicondi are separating. Trump — who told wowOwow after her April marriage that she’d "rather be a nanny than a nursemaid," announced that she filed a legal separation agreement three months ago.

As wOw reported last month, there was much speculation that her aspiring-actor hubby had a tryst with a 20-something-year-old Argentinean model named Belen Rodriguez while filming a reality series called "La Sola dei Famosi," the Italian version of "Survivor." These are Trump’s first comments about her failed marriage; she kept quiet so she wouldn’t ruin Rubicondi’s chances as a contestant on the reality show.

As photos of her wedding at Mar-a-Lago emerged last spring, wOw spoke with the new Mrs. Rubicondi, and her advice for women facing challenges of their own was really quite touching and, for her, prescient:

When you can, pick yourself up and become your own best friend and booster. If a spa day can help heal your mind and let you put your best game face on — go do it! Get back into life and you’ll get back into love. It’s all about loving yourself and those around you. The need to feel alive is overwhelming; now is the time for YOUR new beginning.
