Amid rumors that Melania Trump will not wait for a divorce from Donald, "Today" remembers the wives of the current president of the United States.
“Melania is counting the minutes until her divorce from Donald Trump” - these headlines have been tearing the press for a week now. Former aide to the couple Trump says the first lady is preparing for a marriage agreement to guarantee her son Barron a part of the inheritance. Then she will file for divorce. Will this be a blow to Donald? Supposedly not. After all, it has long been rumored that Melania had a separate bedroom in the White House.
What were the first two wives of Donald Trump, how did the relationship end and how does Melania differ from her predecessors?
First: Ivana with a shark grip
Ivana Trump, nee Zelnichkova, was married for several years to the Austrian real estate agent Alfred Winklmire before meeting Donald Trump. With some experience of marriage, she entered into a relationship with Trump.
Ivan is still considered the one who helped Donald to climb the podium. She supported him in everything, she had a special flair for running the construction business, she knew from which side the blow to her husband's reputation would follow. Ivana gave birth to three children - Donald, Ivanka and Eric, loved Donald and trusted him infinitely. Until his mistress, the young and daring Marla Maples, during the Trump family vacation at a ski resort, she came up to Ivan and said: I want your husband.
But Ivana did not lower her head with tears in her eyes, did not run away, but began to quarrel with the blonde Marla. The skirmish ended in a fight - and a terrible scandal in the press. Compassionate Americans, of course, were on Ivana's side. Donald was amazed. His lawyers were ready for some serious compensation. Ivana received $ 25 million and a luxury villa.

Second: scandalous Marla
Marla Maples' daughter Tiffany Trump stands apart from the other children of the American leader. She rarely participates in family life and does not have unlimited access to Donald's finances. When the girl studied at the University of Pennsylvania, she received $ 500 a month from her father. More than modest. She is known to be very close to her older sister Ivanka.
Why is Donald supposedly cold to his fourth child? Probably because of his scandalous mom. Before marrying her after a divorce from Ivana, Donald had an affair: he is credited with stormy romances with Argentine tennis player Gabriela Sabatini, model Rowan Brewer and former first lady of France Carla Bruni. But still he returned to Marla, they got married in 1993. Four years later, the couple broke up, and two more years later, Donald and Marla divorced. Their marriage lasted a little over 4 years. At the end of their relationship, a scandal surfaced in the press.
Marla and her bodyguard were seen on the beach, under the lifeguard counter. It was early in the morning, and it is clear why they went there. The scandal was subdued. But the divorce was not long in coming. How much money Marla received is not known exactly. Probably a lot. But under the terms of the agreement, she was not supposed to disclose information about their family life with Donald.
Third: beautiful, graceful, modest Melania
It all started in 1998 at a party. Let's call this format: “Millionaires and many beautiful female models”. At that time, Donald was in the process of divorcing his second wife.
When he saw 28-year-old Melania Knauss sitting at a table with her friends, he almost immediately approached her and asked for her phone number. Then the luxurious courtship began, Melania accepted them and did not see any reason not to marry the fabulously rich groom. They got married in 2004.
With expressive features, the grace of a doe and sad eyes, Melania has constantly attracted attention, becoming the first lady of the United States. She rarely smiled - photographers regularly “caught” Melania with a sad or gloomy face.
People slandered, they say, Donald put his beloved under a powerful press and does not allow her to straighten her shoulders. Trump's haters saw her as a fool who “steals official speeches from Michelle Obama without hesitation.” Although Melania herself cannot be called silly - she can defend her interests. Fifteen years of marriage with Donald did the trick.

And Mrs. Trump was not seen in love affairs. Her biography is pure as a tear. The public was not informed of any scandalous relationships before marriage, and even more so in marriage. There is a possibility that Melania's biography was thoroughly "cleaned up", made of her a truly holy woman.
And if Melania really decided to divorce, then, probably, this divorce will be a huge event in her personal and public life.
