So what was it that attracted toyboy Rossano to 56-year-old millionairess Ivana Trump?

More than 20 years - and rather a few wrinkles - separate Rossano Rubicondi and millionairess Ivana Trump, but the pair have at least one thing in common - their love of luxury.

The pair were spotted holidaying at an exclusive resort in St Barts yesterday, where they enjoyed a quick dip in the ocean before returning to their villa, where she reclined on a sunbead while he warmed up for a game of tennis.

Ivana has denied reports she was first married to childhood sweetheart George Syrovatka during the late 1960s.

Ivana has three adult children by the tycoon – Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump.
