Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, married New York publisher Jared Kushner in a private ceremony yesterday evening, at her dad’s Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey. The bride wore a Vera Wang dress inspired by Grace Kelly, and $265,000 worth of bling around her neck. Hours before the exchange of vows before 500 people, Ivanka tweeted: “Just finished a gorgeous hike. The leaves are spectacular and the sun is shining. Everything is simply perfect! I’m getting married today!” A favorite with the Mar-a-Lago crowd as a little kid, Ivanka turns 28 Friday. Much luck to the couple!

Tennis legend Chris Evert’s ex husband said Monday he’s happy.

And that’s somewhat of a novelty for Andy Mill, a 1970s Olympic skiing hero and a respected area deep-sea fisherman.

Three years ago, he inked his side of his divorce settlement agreement with Evert in a Fort Lauderdale courtroom.

Depression set in.

Mill didn’t mind standing in Evert’s shadow. He once drank champagne in one of her high-heel shoes in public at the Boca Raton Resort.

But when it came to an abrupt end, Mill had a hard time.

“I cried routinely for close to three years,” the 55-year-old Mill said in an exclusive interview with Page2Live. “I loved my family. I loved Chris and our three sons and my life with them.”

And Mill, who now alternates between homes in Boca Raton and Aspen, Colo., still angrily blames his then-best friend, Jupiter Island golfer Greg Norman, for bringing misery to the life he loved.

Norman and Evert, who left their respective spouses for each other in 2006, announced Friday they were separated – 15 months after getting hitched on Paradise Island, The Bahamas.

These days, however, life is good for Andy Mill.

He’s engaged to, and lives with, a 40-year-old Aspen homemaker, Debra Harvick.

She, he says, is the loyal partner he always wanted.

“We do everything together,” Mill said while waiting for a flight to Florida so that he can check on his kids during the current firestorm. “We go hiking. We go bow-hunting. We go fishing. We go camping. She’s beautiful and a world-class chef. Deb has two kids herself.

“I didn’t know this when I got divorced, but I ended up happier than Chris, or Greg for that matter.”

When asked if he was surprised when he heard that Evert and Norman were on the outs, he said: “Nothing surprises me with those two. Look at the trail of destruction they left behind them for this fling.”

Despite the bliss, Mill says, he’ll never be able to forgive Norman, with whom he and Evert vacationed often. Once, Norman flew birthday boy Mill on his private jet to Augusta, Ga., to play a round of golf at Augusta National.

Comparing Evert and Norman to “two alpha dogs going at it,” Mill said there’s no doubt they’re headed for divorce court.

“And a divorce is like a golf swing,” Mill said. “It always makes somebody happy.”

– Hard to believe, but former Miami Heat star Lamar Odom, 29, actually passed a wedding ring onto the chubby finger of 25-year-old mouthy reality TV star Khloe Kardashian Sunday, after a courtship that lasted a whole month! The lovebirds were reportedly haggling over a pre-nupt — then a post-nupt — at the last minute, but they ended up exchanging vows. The wedding, in a private home in Beverly Hills, took place before a roster of guests that read like a reality TV All Stars, including American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest, The Osbournes‘ Kelly Osbourne, funny girl Chelsea Handler, The Gastineau Girls‘ Brittny, The Insider’s Lara Spencer and smut peddler Joe Francis. According to MTV.com, the bride wore a strapless gown made by part-time Palm Beacher Vera Wang and had her sisters Kim and Kourtney, who co-star with Khloe on E!’s Keeping up with the Kardashians, as maids of honor. The 6-foot-10 Odom, who played for the Heat in 2003-04, brought his L.A. Lakers teammates, including Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Derek Fisher and Luke Walton, along with coach Phil Jackson. Cable’s E! reportedly footed the $1 million bill for the shindig.

Shue

– It’s that time of year. The social season is upon us, with one of its South Florida kickoffs looming. The 20th Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Classic, a fundraising tennis tourney showcasing several celebrities and pro tennis players, is scheduled for Nov. 7 and 8 at the Delray Beach Tennis Center. Among the celebs: Today host Matt Lauer; Olympic hero Bruce Jenner; movie star Elisabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas, Hollow Man); Fox & Friends hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade (daily on Fox News); and Natalie Cole. The singer, who’s recovering from a kidney transplant, won’t play tennis but will sing at the Nov. 7 gala at the Boca Raton Resort.

– Retired New York Mets star catcher Gary Carter, who lives in a $1 million home at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, was just spotted leaving Lexus of Palm Beach in West Palm Beach in a shiny new blue IS convertible. I’m told the Hall of Famer and former manager of the St. Lucie Mets spent close to 50 Gs on his new wheels.

South Floridian Davy Jones, as in Hey Hey We’re The Monkees, secretly got married Aug. 30 in Miami, according to an anonymous source interviewed by London’s Daily Express.

No marriage license under the singer’s name was entered into state records as of today, but that could take up to a month.

The lucky bride of the 63-year-old former teen idol frontman of The Monkees is a lowly Telemundo soap actress half his age, Jessica Pacheco.

The singer and flamenco dancer is 31, younger than two of Jones’ four adult daughters. His eldest is 40.

The shapely Latina, who starred last year opposite Miami singer/actor and Entertainment Tonight host Carlos Ponce in the soap Dame Chocolate, was married once before, according to Miami-Dade records. Jones was hitched twice before.

According to the Express, none of the other three members of the popular ’60s band, famous for Daydream Believer and I’m a Believer, showed up at the wedding, which took place in the home of Pacheco’s parents. Also MIA were Jones’ children and grandchildren. The daughters are said to be ticked off by his decision to get hitched, again.

Jones, according to Broward County records, bought a $300,000 Hollywood (Fla.) condo shortly after he met Pacheco in 2007, when the two were in a play for local British expats. He moved from his Indiantown ranch in Martin County.

A friend of the singer told the newspaper about the lovebirds: “They have had a tempestuous relationship. They have often broken up in their relatively short courtship. They had gotten back together again when Davy announced that they were going to get married.

“His daughters didn’t seem to warm to her, but Davy seems to be smitten.”

Davy first found fame as the only British member on the American pop group formed in 1966 for a TV series. The other band members were Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork.

193 years combined: Maxwell and Hurwitz (Special to Page2Live)

“Happily ever after” may not come so easily for 98-year-old newlywed socialite Gertrude Maxwell and her 95-year-old hubby, Sol Hurwitz.

Barely more than a week after the two secretly were hitched, a Hurwitz family member filed petitions in a Palm Beach County court to have Hurwitz found incompetent and become his legal guardian.

Hurwitz, the petitions read, can’t take care of himself and is in danger of losing his retirement money, $3 million, to Maxwell.

Maxwell, the late-night TV staple who appears on commercials asking for cash for her Save-a-Pet charity, is supposedly broke after blowing through nearly $24 million in reverse mortgages in five years, according to court papers filed by Hurwitz’ son-in-law, Albert Parziale.

Parziale’s request for guardianship also claims that Maxwell, who has sunk millions in Save-a-Pet, hasn’t paid her staff for weeks and can’t repair her Rolls Royce. Her house is becoming filthy, with cockroaches roaming the kitchen, rooms cluttered and bathrooms “unsanitary.”

And Maxwell supposedly won’t allow Hurwitz to see his family and caregivers.

“The pleadings speak for themselves,” said Parziale’s lawyer in West Palm Beach, Peter Matwiczyk.

Former liquor distributor Hurwitz has five children, and Parziale is married to one of his three daughters, New Jersey resident Jody.

James Wieland! Such a romantic guy!

The WPTV-Channel 5 weatherman just got engaged to advertising rep Jennifer Dalla Riva.

Wieland and his Chosen One

And boy did he dream up one Blue Lagoon-themed scheme to make sure his betrothed wouldn’t say no.

Wieland, 37, first bought a conch shell. He then stuffed it with clay, and set a 3-carat sparkler into the clay.

Then, as he and his blonde sweetie frolicked in waist-deep water in Atlantic near radio talker Rush Limbaugh’s Palm Beach home, he half-buried the conch in sand.

“At one point, I thought I lost the shell,” he said.

But the future bride, 38, was digging nonchalantly nearby, and suddenly yelled out: “I found the motherload of shells!”

Wieland actually snapped a picture as Dalla Riva found the ring, which probably will cost him a couple brownie points.

Bingo!

But he had a dozen red roses hidden in the car, just in case she needed another push.

She didn’t.

The lovebirds are looking for a beachside wedding venue. It’ll be the bride’s second marriage, Wieland’s first.

Ninety-eight-year-old Palm Beach socialite Gertrude Maxwell finally admitted today that she was secretly hitched to her 95-year-old swain of barely more than a month.

The lucky guy is Trump Plaza resident Sol Hurwitz. Hurwitz ran a lucrative liquor distribution business in Boston.

Save-a-Pet founder Maxwell wouldn’t answer questions because, a spokeswoman said, the couple kept the ceremony details hidden from their own families. But according to their marriage license, obtained in Martin County, they made it legal before a justice-of-the-peace July 13.

But Maxwell put out a statement: “Mrs. Gertrude Maxwell of Palm Beach and Solomon Hurwitz of West Palm Beach warmly share the news of their happy marriage. Having exchanged vows, they’re enjoying the blessings of their promise of love, devotion and commitment to each other as wife and husband.

“There will be a formal celebration in the near future. Congratulatory notes can be sent to P.O. Box 2444, Palm Beach, FL 33480.”

It’s Maxwell’s third venture into holy matrimony. She was married for 64 years to real estate investor Mark Maxwell but divorced him the mid-90s. He died a couple years later.

Then in 2000, Maxwell stunned local society by secretly marrying a 43-year-old producer at WPTV-Channel 5. She was 88. It lasted four months.

Rip

From the NFL to the NBA, pro jocks are getting lovey-dovey all over Palm Beach County.

One tough guy from football’s Denver Broncos renewed his vows at The Breakers in Palm Beach. And basketball star Rip Hamilton, of the Detroit Pistons, had 250 close friends and family at his wedding Saturday at the Boca Resort in Boca Raton.

Staffers at the Resort told Page2Live that Hamilton, who’s known for wearing a clear protective mask, was hitched to his son’s mother, little-known singer TJ Lottie.

Among the well-known guests: University of Connecticut hoops coach, and Rip’s mentor, Jim Calhoun; Pistons coach John Kuester; Denver Nuggets’ Chauncey Billups; Motown basketball’s new NBA superstar, Ben Gordon; and most of Rip’s longtime teammates, including Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince. Hip hop soulstress Mary J. Blige serenaded the newlyweds.

Chances are, it was a party to remember: The ballroom was reserved until 3 a.m.

Dawkins

At The Breakers, meanwhile, bone-rattling safety Brian Dawkins and wife, Connie, renewed their vows before a plethora of NFL stars. A Breakers insider said Dawkins, obviously a softy at heart, was married before he became a professional player and couldn’t pay for a proper wedding.

Now he makes about $4 million a year, and a six-tier Sylvia Weinstock cake was flown in from New York.

Like the Republic, a new political power couple made it official on the Fourth of July.

Beaming in her gold beaded dress, multi-millionaire Boca Raton landowner Yvonne Boice said a shy “I do” to former West Palm Beach commissioner and mayoral candidate Al Zucaro in a sunset ceremony at the Boca Resort.

“As always, the bride is stunning and the groom is stunned,” joked Palm Beach County Commissioner Steve Abrams. He pronounced the Republican couple husband-and-wife before 200-plus gathered in the resort’s breathtaking Cathedral Room.

A bi-partisan plethora of elected officials, county government bureaucrats and power-brokers had taken place in the pews to witness the wedding. Among them: GOP boss Sid Dinerstein; businessman George Elmore; GOP state committeeman Peter Feaman; West Palm Commish Ike Robinson; Palm Beach County strategic planning director Kevin Johns; Port of Palm Beach boss Ed Oppel; and Palm Beach Film Festival Director Randi Emmerman.

The wedding was also one of the first society appearances since his release from prison of Boca moneybags Jim Batmasian. Batmasian was in federal custody until May 27, after serving eight months for tax evasion. He opted not to talk to Page2Live, but looking at the way he clung to his wife Marta as they danced, there’s little doubt he’s happy to come home.

The bride was given away by Palm Beach County Commish Burt Aaronson, with whom she walked on a red carpet covered in passion-red rose pedal.

“Today I’m saying ‘I do’, and tomorrow and forever, it’s going to be ‘yes, dear!’ Zucaro said before the ceremony.
