Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who is the first U.S. President to have been divorced?"
While Donald Trump was the first president to have multiple failed marriages under his belt, he was not America’s first divorced president. Ronald Reagan, the country’s 40th commander in chief, was the first and only other president to have taken office after going through a divorce. The actor-turned-conservative politician split from his first wife, actress Jane Wyman, decades before he ran for President of the United States. He remarried in 1952 to Nancy Reagan, who became the first lady when he took office in 1981.
