Vanessa Trump extended her best wishes to her estranged husband via social media on Sunday in light of the Father’s Day holiday.
‘Happy Father’s Day times 5 @DonaldJTrumpJr! Hope you had an incredible day with our kiddies!,’ Vanessa wrote in a Tweet posted around 3pm Sunday afternoon.
The tweet also contained a picture showing Donald Trump Jr sitting in the middle of a couch holding his youngest daughter and surrounded by his other children.

Helping hand: On Thursday, Vanessa defended Don Jr after new girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle was attacked for dating him, with some calling the relationship unethical
Vanessa, 40, and the President’s son announced last month that they intended to file for divorce after 12 years of marriage.
On May 15, the two released a joint statement saying: ‘We will always have tremendous respect for each other and our families. We have five beautiful children together and they remain our top priority. We ask for your privacy during this time.’
Soon after the announcement, Donald Jr. revealed that he and Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle were dating.
The president’s son and Kim (pictured together) have been dating since March, around the time Don Jr and Vanessa announced their split
‘They’re really into each other, it’s obvious from the way they are together, and they haven’t tried to hide it,’ a source close to the President’s son told DailyMail.com earlier this week.
‘But they haven’t felt compelled to make any kind of pronouncement that they’re romantically involved,’
In a tweet posted on Thursday, Vanessa revealed that the two had been separated for ‘over nine months’ and appeared to endorse the new relationship between her estranged husband and Guilfoyle.
‘The lengths people will go to attack a woman simply because she’s dating Don. We’ve been separated for over 9 months and respect each other’s decisions & privacy. We’ll focus on raising our great kids. Would be nice if the press did the same rather than obsess over our pvt lives,’ she tweeted.
The soon-to-be exes appear to be on good terms since the two were seen enjoying a friendly lunch in Manhattan just before the start of the weekend.
Don, 40, and twice-divorced Kim, 49, have known each other for years but their relationship never went beyond friendship as one or both were married, the source said.
Guilfoyle was previously married to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom and product design firm CEO Eric Villency.
Don Jr.’s divorce was revealed in March after Vanessa Trump filed divorce papers in Manhattan Supreme Court following 12 years of marriage.
The divorce was listed as ‘uncontested’, meaning Vanessa is not asking for full custody of the children and Don Jr. does not object to the filing.
