Apparently, absence has made Vanessa Trump’s heart go yonder.

Donald Trump Jr. and his wife of 12 years are struggling to keep their marriage together, and friends say divorce is imminent, according to a report from Page Six.

“The problems have been there for a long time, the couple had hoped to stay together during the president’s time in office, but it is getting harder to resolve their issues. He’s never there,” one source said.

Don Jr., 40, President Trump’s eldest child, and his younger brother Eric, 34, have been tasked to run the family empire during their father’s time in the White House. Don Jr.’s many business trips are proving to be a strain on his family.

“Don Jr. has been busy traveling, which has contributed to their problems,” another source told the publication. “Vanessa is a devoted mother, but she is increasingly lonely and alone in the house with the children.”

Page Six points out that Don Jr. has also been away at play of late. In February, he played big-game hunter on a trip to India.

But the sources said the problems go beyond Don Jr.’s disappearing act. He “appears to have changed recently, and friends are concerned about him,” one source said.

At issue are some of his controversial social media posts, including an attack on a student who survived the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting. Don Jr., it seems, inherited the tweeting gene from his dad.

Vanessa Trump is also uncomfortable with the scrutiny placed on the family since her father-in-law became leader of the free world.

“Vanessa is by nature is a very low-key person, and she is uncomfortable with the attention her family is getting now the Trumps are on the world stage,” said a source. “She is also worried for her kids, particularly after she received the threatening letter containing the white powder.”

Last month, Vanessa opened a letter addressed to Don Jr. that contained a white substance. She was taken to a hospital as a precaution, and the powder was determined not to be hazardous.

“Donald Jr. and Vanessa have been dealing with some issues, but they are not yet at the stage of filing for divorce. They are trying to deal with this privately,” said the source.

Page Six said a spokesman for Don Jr., Vanessa and the Trump Organization declined to comment on the article.
