Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, learned about her husband's affair with Aubrey O'Day when "sexy" text messages popped up on his phone while he showered.
O'Day, the former Danity Kane singer, was a contestant on the 12th season of the reality TV show "Celebrity Apprentice," where Don Jr. served as an advisor.
One of People's sources said Vanessa saw the messages, prompting the immediate end to the affair in 2012. O'Day has since told People they spoke of being each other's soulmates.
Vanessa and Don Jr. seemingly reconciled, but their marriage ultimately ended in March 2018 after Vanessa filed for an uncontested divorce.
A source close to the former couple shared that the affair was not the only factor that caused their split and that their issues started before Trump Sr.'s bid for the presidency.
After his divorce from Vanessa, Donald Jr. was soon seen with a new woman, Kimberly Guilfoyle. The couple has been engaged since New Year’s Eve 2020.
