In 2018, Vanessa and Don Jr. separated and divorced.
Vanessa and Don Jr. are raising their children — Kai Madison, Donald John III, Tristan, Spencer, and Chloe — together. Kai became particularly popular among Trump fans when she supported her grandfather at the 2024 Republican National Convention.
«Today, I am speaking to show my grandfather’s side that people often do not see», - Kai said. «To me, he is just a regular grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents aren’t looking. He always wants to know how we are doing in school».
During Donald Sr.'s inauguration in 2025, Kai’s father, Don Jr., praised his «little Smurfette» in a behind-the-scenes video.
«I love this little Smurfette so much, and I am so proud of her», - Don Jr. said about Kai in the clip. «I am so proud of her, and even if dads aren’t cool at her age, I don’t care. I love her so much. You’re the best, little Smurfette».
During his marriage to Vanessa, Don Jr. was the subject of infidelity rumors. Several sources reported that he allegedly had an affair with Aubrey O’Day in 2011, although Don Jr. never publicly commented on this report.
