First Lady But Third Wife
Fun fact: she is also the only First Lady who is the third wife of any U.S. president. Before they tied the knot, he was married to Marla Maples. However, his first wife was none other than Ivana Trump, who hails from the Czech Republic. She also worked on real estate with Donald. They rose to prominence in New York in no time at all. When the ‘90s rolled in, rumors came out that he was cheating on her with Marla Maples. In 1990, Ivana filed for divorce and received $20 million in the divorce settlement.
Not Her Thing But His
When Melania was asked how she would feel if her husband won the presidency, she was supportive. She shared this with The New York Times: “I would be very traditional. Like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy. I would support him.” She is different from the other First Ladies, who stood by their husbands in political endeavors. Melania did not want him to win the presidential race, apparently. A Rolling Stone article quoted her as saying, “It’s not my thing. It’s Donald’s thing.” How interesting is that?
