The year was 1990, Donald Trump was a business tycoon and was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Donald Trump’s then wife Ivana had just filed for divorce, which was finalised two years later. The reason for the divorce was Donald Trump’s affair with model Marla Maples, who he later went on to marry and divorce.
Ivana Trump had discovered about Trump’s affair with Marla during holidays in Aspen, Colorado, which led to an uncomfortable confrontation between the two, per Irish Star. In her memoir Raising Trump, Ivana Trump, recalled the incident when Marla told her that she loved her husband, Donald Trump. “This young blonde woman approached me out of the blue and said ‘I’m Marla and I love your husband. Do you?’”. “I said ‘Get lost. I love my husband.’ It was unladylike but I was in shock’,” an excerpt from the book read, according a recent article by Irish Star.
Donald Trump and Ivana’s love story began in 1976. Three months after dating, the two got married at the Marble Collegiate Church in New York. In Raising Trump, Ivana vividly recalled what her dating period with Donald Trump was like and wrote, “We made polite small talk, no funny stuff at all. He sensed correctly that flirting would not work with me and acted like a gentleman.”
Ivana Trump died at the age of 73 in 2022. Donald Trump was also previously married to Marla Maples, with whom he has a daughter Tiffany Trump. Donald Trump Jr, Ivanka and Eric Trump sre Donald Trump and his first wife, late Ivana Trump’s children.
After Ivana’s divorce with Donald, the businessman started dating Marla Maples and married her in 1993. They became parents to Tiffany the same year. A few years later, in 1997, the couple got divorced after a two-year-long court battle.
