Donald Trump: who is Marla Maples, his second forgotten wife?
Before marrying Melania Trump, Donald Trump passed the ring on to Marla Maples. She is the mother of one of his children.
Donald Trump has known three women in his life. Before marrying his current partner, Melania Trump in 2005, the President of the United States experienced the joys of marriage with two other women. Ivana Trump, with whom he was married from 1977 to 1993 then Marla Maples, with whom he was united from 1993 to 1999. From this second union was born Tiffany Trump, who is the second daughter of the Head of State.
American actress and TV host Marla Maples is best known for being Donald Trump's wife because their relationship has been highly publicized. And for good reason, the businessman that was Donald Trump at the time got back into the household shortly after divorcing his first wife. Everything went very quickly between the lovers since their daughter, Tiffany, was born before their marriage. They would have met in 1985 and their romance - initially hidden - would have started in 1989 (Donald Trump was then living with Ivana Trump).
If their divorce was pronounced in 1999, the spouses separated in 1997. It was Donald Trump who ended this relationship ... by post. Indeed, it was by letter that he informed Marla Maples that he no longer wanted to share his life, as a source reported to Vanity Fair in June 2019. As provided for in their contract, written before their union, Donald Trump has pledged $ 100,000 in annual pension to their daughter until she turns 21. But also $ 1 million to Maria Maples. She did not digest the news well - or the way it was done - and later spoke about her intimate life with the 45th President of the United States and had made the headlines of several newspapers. She wanted to confide in a book about their romance, but Donald Trump had this project canceled.
Marla Maples Raised Their Daughter Tiffany Alone
Donald Trump was not very cheerful when he learned that Marla Maples was pregnant. “Honestly, I'm glad it happened,” he told Howard Stern in 2004. Then he added, “I have a great little girl, Tiffany. But, you know back then I I said to myself: 'What happened? What are we going to do?' ". Then, faced with the optimist of his companion, Donald Trump ended up thinking that it was good news. Tiffany Trump grew up out of the spotlight, raised by her mother. "She wanted me to have a chance to have a normal childhood. As normal as possible. I think she did well," the young woman had shifted to People. Marla Maples is also rather discreet: in 2017, she participated in Dancing with the stars.
