Not to be outdone by her ex-husband, Ivana Trump has separated from her new husband only weeks after Donald Trump split from his new wife.

The Czech-born beauty announced her separation from Italian businessman Riccardo Mazzucchelli on Monday, two months after the man she used to call The Donald announced the breakup of his marriage to Marla Maples."Riccardo and I are separated and trying to work out our differences," Ivana, as she is known professionally, said in a statement.

Ivana told the New York Post that it was her decision to seek a separation, saying, "Riccardo's quote to the National Enquirer that `I dumped Ivana' is totally untrue."

Ivana, 48, and Mazzucchelli, 54, were married in Manhattan in November 1995.

She got $25 million when she divorced Trump, but an airtight prenuptial agreement would keep Mazzucchelli from getting any part of that money, the Post said.
