When did Tiffany’s parents Marla and Donald meet?
In 1989, Marla met Donald while strolling on Madison Avenue in New York City.
When they met, Donald was still married to his first wife, Ivana, when he decided to go on a date with Marla.
Regarding her relationship with Donald, Marla told Vanity Fair at the time: “I believe I have a purpose and that there is a reason we’re together.
“It’s a good love, it’s not a harmful love. It’s a really good, trusting love.
“I would be happier living out on a farm away from everyone and not being in this concrete world, and here he is representing everything that some people think is very materialistic.
“Sometimes you need something from someone who is completely the opposite and you find a place where you can meet and learn.”
Meanwhile, Ivana recalled in her book Raising Trump: “This young blonde woman approached me out of the blue and said ‘I’m Marla and I love your husband. Do you?‘
“I said ‘Get lost. I love my husband.’ It was unladylike but I was in shock.”

How long were Marla and Donald together?
Between Tiffany’s birth and Donald’s divorce from Ivana, the 45th President and Marla dated on and off for some time.
On October 13, 1993, the pair welcomed Tiffany in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Although she is Donald’s fourth child and second daughter, the socialite is Marla’s only child.
On December 20, 1993, the couple tied the knot and held their wedding ceremony at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
Years later, Tiffany’s parents separated in May 1997 and officially divorced on June 8, 1999.
It came after Donald fired his bodyguard Spencer Wagner in 1996 after police found him and Maples together on a beach at 4 am.
Both Maples and Trump denied any affair, while Wagner has made a number of different accounts of the incident.
Under the terms of her prenup with Donald, Maples is bound by a confidentiality agreement in matters relating to their marriage.
