Why Did Trump Divorce to Get Divorced with Ivana?

According to the New York Daily News, Trump made a reference to his extramarital affair in a 1994 interview with ABC Primetime Live, referring to his personal life at the time as “a bowl of cherries.” “A beautiful girlfriend, a beautiful wife, a beautiful everything,” he continued, “the business was so great.”

Trump actually attributed a portion of the divorce on the relationship Ivana and his company had. She joined Trump’s real estate empire early on. She was employed by the Trump Organization as the president of his Atlantic City casino, according to Cosmopolitan, and then as a manager at the Plaza Hotel, which he acquired in 1988, according to People.

Two months after having her first child with him, Tiffany Ariana, Trump went on to wed Maples in 1993. Only until 1999 would that marriage, however, remain intact.
