In addition to his success in business and politics, Donald Trump has remained a constant hero of the gossip for many years. The reason for this is the stormy personal life of the American leader. Three marriages, many mistresses and frank statements about women have created an image of a real heartthrob for him. Trump is certainly proud of his achievements on the love front, which he does not hesitate to notice at every opportunity. For example, talking about presidential ambitions in 1999, the businessman admitted: "The only difference between me and other candidates is that I am more honest and my women are more beautiful."
First marriage
Trump met his first wife in 1976. Ivana Zelnichkova was born in 1949 in Czechoslovakia, but thanks to a fictitious marriage, she left the country at the age of 23 and settled in Canada. There she worked as a model, including helping to promote the 1976 Summer Olympics. One of the events took place in New York, and when Ivana and her friends came to have a bite, her future husband noticed her and invited the company to his table.
Then Donald paid the bill for everyone and quietly left, leaving the girl completely bewildered. But on the street Ivana was in for a surprise - Trump was waiting for her at the entrance to the restaurant in his own limousine with a driver. He took a new acquaintance home, and soon they began an affair, which ended in a luxurious wedding in 1977.
The Trump couple were one of the brightest couples in the 80s in New York society. Their first child, Donald Jr., was born shortly after the wedding in late 1977. Four years later, a daughter, Ivanka, was born, and in 1984, a son, Eric. At the same time, Mrs. Trump managed to actively participate in her husband's business: she led the development of the company's design, managed the Trump Castle hotel complex.
Donald has never hidden that he is not a supporter of monogamy. However, Ivana's patience came to an end when he took his mistress Marla Maples for the Christmas holidays in Aspen. The couple filed for divorce in 1989, with a string of scandals and recriminations. The marriage was officially dissolved in 1991.
By the way, Ivana Trump is in no way inferior to her ex-husband in terms of love. After a divorce from him, she managed to be married three more times. Moreover, the most recent celebration worth $ 3 million was organized and paid in full by Donald.
Second marriage
Having gained freedom from the bonds of marriage, Trump continued to meet with a young lover. At the time of their acquaintance, Marla Maples was 26 years old, she managed to win several beauty contests. In October 1993, a new girlfriend gave birth to a businessman's daughter Tiffany Ariana. The girl received her first name in honor of the famous jewelry brand Tiffany & Co.
Two months after the birth of their daughter, Donald and Marla got married. The wedding took place in the Grand Hall of the Plaza Hotel, owned by Trump, in the presence of thousands of guests. This marriage lasted six years, of which, in fact, the spouses negotiated the details of the divorce for three years.
Third marriage
The businessman met his third wife, Slovene Melania Knauss, at the Time Square nightclub in 1998. He was with a companion, but that did not stop Trump from approaching a stranger at the first opportunity and asking for her phone number.
At that time, Melania was a popular model, adorned the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, New York Magazine. She came to New York in 1996 and previously worked in Milan and Paris.
Trump first officially unveiled his new companion, appearing with her in 1999 on the hit Howard Stern television show. However, the engagement of the couple took place only five years later - in 2004. Another luxurious wedding took place on January 22, 2005 in Florida at the Mar-a-Lago estate, owned by Trump. Melania, who is 24 years younger than her husband, chose a dress of the Christian Dior fashion house, made for her personally by John Galliano, as a wedding dress.
Fourteen months later, in March 2006, the couple had their only common child. The boy was named Barron William Trump, and the first name was suggested by the head of the family, and Melania chose the second. She received US citizenship only in 2006, and at the beginning of 2017 she became the second in the history of the First Lady of the country, who was born abroad.
Interviews of women with whom Trump had relationships during his third marriage periodically surface in the press. As journalists noticed, in response, Melania stops accompanying her husband on political trips or demonstratively refuses to take his hand in public. Of the three wives, she has already held out with Trump the longest, but these years were clearly not cloudless.
Love interests
In addition to formal marriages, Trump has had many romances. Among his mistresses are models, actresses, porn stars. He met with them not only in his single years, but in parallel being in a long relationship.
Rowanne Lane is an American supermodel, participant of the Miss USA pageant. Met Trump in 1990 at a party he organized. This romance did not last long, after which Lane had a relationship with another major businessman, Mohamed Hadid.
New Zealand actress Kylie Bucks had a short affair with Donald in 1995, during his second marriage. After parting, they remained good friends, continued to communicate occasionally. In the press, the Bucks has repeatedly made statements in support of Trump, including during the 2016 presidential campaign.
In 1997, while in the process of divorcing his second wife, the businessman started a short romance with actress Allison Giannini, known for the TV series Young and the Restless. They were introduced by a mutual friend. Years later, the former lover recalls this hobby with warmth and admits that, on Donald's advice, she decided to change her life by becoming a real estate agent.
Kara Young dated Trump since 2001, their romance lasted for about 2 years. For his sake, she broke off her engagement with her fiancé. Young is known as a model, has appeared on the covers of Vogue, Elle, Playboy. The businessman dumped the girl when he found out that she was a child of an interracial marriage and had a black mother. After breaking up with Kara, Trump finally decided to propose to Melania.
Among the women who had a love affair with Donald were also the names of the skater Peggy Fleming, models Anna Nicole Smith, Carla Bruni, Carol Alt, Victoria Zdrok, actress Catherine Oxenberg, businesswoman Georgette Mosbacher. These ladies chose not to comment on the Trump connection or denied the suspicions of the press.
