She also was involved with Trump Organization, she was the vice president of interior design. They had three children together, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
Their marriage lasted for 15 years, but unfortunately, it wasn’t fated to last for the end of their lives. There were some rumors about Donald having an affair with an actress, Marla Maples. The rumors were proven to be true after a little scandal at Aspen, in 1992. After that Ivana and Donald divorced and Ivana got a divorce settlement worth $25 million. Donald Trump described the whole situation as the “darkest days of his life”. He was referring to the financial moment and the emotional stress they went through when they divorced. He was the one responsible for the divorce, but it was also difficult for him to separate from the woman he was living his life with for 15 years and the mother of his children. Today the two of them are in good relations.

Donald and Marla met when he was still married to Ivana Trump. The two of them met in 1989 and the way they met was like in the movies. They’ve bumped into each other one afternoon on Madison Avenue, and they just started talking. They’ve started a secret affair and it was a secret for some time. But eventually, it got out of control. In 1992, Donald tried to secretly bring Marla along on a family vacation to Aspen. She was obviously jealous, and she couldn’t help herself, so she went to Trump’s wife Ivana and she said to her, “I love Donald. Do you?” That was the moment when Trump’s first marriage ended.
He continued his relationship with Marla and soon after their relationship was public, she got pregnant. In 1993, Marla gave birth to their daughter Tiffany, and the two of them got married a few months after that. But their marriage didn’t last long. The reason for their break up was that Marla wanted to change him, but she couldn’t. They separated in 1997, and they officially got divorced in 1999. Marla Maples moved to California and she raised Tiffany on her own.

So, Donald Trump’s current wife is his third wife. The two of them met in a night club at Manhattan, while he was on a date with another woman. He approached Melania and asked her for her number, but she didn’t give it to him. Instead, she asked him to give her his number.

There were some rumors about Trump’s infidelity, but Melania said that the rumors are just rumors. They are still together, and now Melania Trump is the first lady of the United States. We can bet that she couldn’t imagine even in her wildest dreams that one day Donald Trump will be the President of the United States of America and her as his wife, the first lady.
