The couple, who tied the knot in April, seem to be more apart than ever.

Rossano, 36, was not with Ivana, 59, at Royal Ascot last week. Nor was Rossano, Czech-born Ivana’s fourth husband, with her at the Grosvenor House Art and Antiques Fair, a major social event.

The Italian was also absent during a slew of parties she attended in St Tropez recently.

“People are saying he’s going to cash in early on their prenup,” claims one mole.

“He knows people snigger about the difference in the ages and income.”

The two have certainly had their much-publicised rough patches. Last New Year’s Eve he stormed out of a party she was co-hosting in Aspen, Colorado.

“She told everyone that if he did not come back by midnight, the wedding was off,” said one guest.

Then there was the domestic disturbance in March when Ivana called Palm Beach police to get him out of her mansion.

But Ivana insists everything is still fine between herself and her husband.

His absence, she explains, was because Rossano, an aspiring singer, was recording a demo CD in Florida.
