Even years later, Ivana Trump was not Marla Maples’ biggest fan. In a 2016 interview with the New York Post, the former model shared that Maples had attempted to mend the fence between them. “[She] asked me to apologize in the Daily Mail in London,” Ivana Trump said, as reported by People. “They asked me if I accepted the apology and I said no. Why should I? She broke my marriage!”
At the beginning of her relationship with Donald Trump, it was difficult to tell what Marla Maples thought of her romantic predecessor. However, she was vocal about how unhappy she was with Ivana Trump’s divorce settlement demands. “She wants a billion dollars, but we just don’t have it,” Maples told Vanity Fair in 1990.
Maples seemed to soften her tone and feelings towards Ivana Trump later on. Marla Maples and Donald Trump divorced in 1999, and she moved to California with their daughter, Tiffany, according to People. In an interview with the magazine, Maples responded to Ivana Trump’s denied forgiveness.
“That makes me sad because I wish her nothing but love,” she said in 2016. “I love her kids, and if she’s holding any kind of resentment toward me, I really hope, for her sake, that she can forgive me.”
