Trump got married to his first wife Ivana Trump in 1977 - who tragically passed away in 2022. While he was still married to Ivana, Trump met Marla Maples in 1985 at a celebrity tennis match. The two became friends and eventually a romance blossomed that ended Trump’s first wedding to Ivana in 1990, reports People Magazine.

Marla Maples still supports Donald Trump and is open to be his ‘VP’

Despite the short-lived marriage, strict prenuptial terms, and a 2-year court battle over their divorce, Marla recently told The Standard that she has forgiven her ex-husband. She said:

Anything from the past I’ve forgiven. That is a conversation that Donald and I have had: forgiving each other. Marriages are challenging, especially when you play them out in the media.

The former actress and now a yoga teacher revealed that she stands with Trump as he runs for president again and supports him in whatever way possible. She explained she is ‘open to whatever way that [she] can serve’ the 78-year-oldincluding being his VP.
