Donald Trump Jr. and his wife, Vanessa Trump, are reportedly headed for divorce. The pair are living separate lives and expected to file for divorce soon, according to friends, The New York Post's Page Six reported on Wednesday. The news comes after a scare in which Vanessa opened an envelope addressed to Donald Jr. that contained a mysterious white powder, which was later determined not to be hazardous. The duo has been married since 2005 and have five children together. Here's a look back at the couple's relationship over the years.

The pair did not hit it off during the awkward interactions. Six weeks later, they met again at a mutual friend's party. They didn't recognize each other until after an hour-long conversation. "Then suddenly, something clicked: Wait, you were at that fashion show. Wait, you're 'the one with the retarded dad!' Vanessa blurted out," The Times reported.
Vanessa, formerly Vanessa Haydon, was working as a model at the time. Donald Jr. wasn't her first famous beau — she made headlines after being spotted with Leonardo DiCaprio at a movie premier in 1997. "In her yearbook, Haydon was voted Most Likely to Wind Up on Ricki Lake," New York Magazine reported in 1998. "Instead, she made it into 'Page Six,' which reported in May that her handlers were charging Sydney newspapers $15,000 for advance publicity stills while Haydon was Down Under shooting the cover of Australian Harper's Bazaar," New York Magazine continued. "'Vanessa Haydon got game,' says another former schoolmate." Source: The New York Times, New York Magazine
Don Jr., meanwhile, had at that point been working at the Trump Organization for a few years. Donald Jr. graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 2000. He spent a few years as a ski bum in Aspen, Colorado before returning to New York City.
