The socialite had a tumultuous personal life that included four marriages and several romantic relationships.
However, the 24-year age gap didn’t stop them from tying the knot.
“She’s an amazing woman.
Beautiful, smart, sexy, powerful, successful, and young in spirit,” Rubicondi toldPeople.
“It just feels right.
I have no fears,” said Ivana.
Their relationship continued on and off until Rubicondi’s death, raising questions about the reason behind the divorce.
The two started out as friends, but their relationship evolved over the years.
Ivana decided to take the next step, despite their age gap.
“It was fine for six years while he was a boyfriend.
But the minute they got married, he changed,” explained Gargia.
Ivana and her husband had a common background, as they were both immigrants.
They also felt similar about politics, and she seemed happy when he was around.
“Nobody could stand him except Ivana.
There was no sex, either.
As mentioned earlier, their marriage ended after one year.
“The relationship just ran its course,” she confessed.
After a while, the distance took a toll on their marriage.
“I’m done.
You get married because you want a family.
I have three kids and grandkids.
I just want to be free and go where I want to go with whoever I want.
I want to be a free woman,” she said in her interview with Page Six.
Her former husband, Rossano Rubicondi, confessed they were still “super close” despite going separate ways.
When he died, she talked with his parents and kept half of his ashes.
Sadly, she lost her life after falling down the stairs of her home in Manhattan.
